We all got together Saturday evening for Heathers big birthday and Phil and Tammy's Wedding Anniversary...

the birds were flying around these bushes... trying to get the berries.. etc..

again... if you road a horse onto this view..

would it be enough for you to settle here... to stay here and call it home????

This am when I was walking...

When I was walking this am, I came across this place in the fence where the barbed wire had been sliced, and it became a time to think back to why that happened...

haha...

This is kind of a neat story... for me anyway.. haha.... It seems my father decided early on in my life that I could do the field work better than he could, that I could round off corners when we plowed our fields better than he could, get closer than he could to the fences, etc. So one day after we moved up here in the fall of 1960, I was working this field at an angle southeast to northwest and was about to the north end when it was time to milk.. Dad thought he would run the tractor and springtooth while I ate a sandwich and rested and he made a couple of rounds.. well, he got to the northwest end and went to turn and not being used to the process.... he turned way to wide.. and yelp... caught the fence... and yelp.. I got to fix it while he went to milk, and then I got to finish the field work. He and I used to tease each other about "how" this fence repair happened... but we both knew.. who was driving the train.. haha... sorry to bore ya.. but just remembering a time when things were much much slower... We did get the field worked, the wheat planted and Owen Walker, Jimmy Walker and their father LV cut our wheat that next summer. The year after we bought a new Case combine from the dealer in Cushing, OK. and on and on and on....

What if...

you road on horseback to this location, and all you could see was grass and trees... would you like it enough to stay... or

OUCH!

Spring and fresh leaves are just days away...

Lots of places to hide.. if I were a bunny...

More berries... lone tree and awesome sky

Red berries give a bit of color to a drab landscape

watching over the small things .....

me ole walking trail..

A bit of color on my walkabout

Spring has sprung...

old but cute... right Heather.. haha...

A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said, "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards."

The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, "This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running Boards."

What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?" "No," the cook said. "Three flat tires mean three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are 2 slices of crisp bacon.

"Oh, OK!" said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.
The trucker asked, "What are the beans for Blondie?

She replied, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights and running boards, you might as well gas up!"


FOR ONCE THE BLONDE GETS EVEN!

From a friend comes this ditty...

A dog is truly a man's best friend.

If you don't believe it, just try this experiment.

Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car and drive around for an hour.

When you open the trunk, who so you think will lick your face??

IF.... YOU guessed your wife... that is why you are sleeping with the dog!!!

What animal made this track?

This is the biggest footprint I have seen to date! Found this where Jake shoots targets just below his home, and there were several. Maybe this is where Ann's chickens and guineas are going?? The biggest dog we have is a German Shepherd and his paw print is about one fourth of this paw print, and notice the 4 toe nails it looks like.. is it a BIG CAT??

Almost spring

A Friend sent this note. this am..

A sure-fired way to see who is truly man's best friend.

Put your wife (or girlfriend) and your dog in the trunk of your car and go around the block.

Can you guess who will lick your face when you open the trunk?

If you guessed your wife, that is why you are sleeping with the dog!

hehe...

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him,'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am.'

The man consults his portable GPS and replies,'You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09minutes west longitude.

She rolls her eyes and says,'You must be a Republican!'

'I am,' replies the man.'How did you know?'

'Well,' answers the balloonist,'everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost Frankly, you're not much help to me.

'The man smiles and responds,'You must be a Democrat.'

'I am,' replies the balloonist.'How did you know?'

'Well,' says the man,'You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault.'

Something to think about in case you lose your cell phone...

I never thought of this.......

This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... etc... was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says "I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago." When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account. Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc..... And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet "family and friends" who text you.

What's Under My Hat

What's Under My Hat

Monte Tucker

January 28, 2008

(my cousin Joanna Wilson in Norman sent this to me... enjoy!)

Howdy friends and neighbors. Come on first Tuesday in November! I have already had about all of the Presidential election I can stand. Surely, somewhere out there in this great nation is a "good ol' boy or gal," that is worth voting for. You know, someone that has actually done something, not just talked about what they think they have done. It's only the first quarter in the game between the R's and the D's. Both sides keep talking about time for change. Just what are they going to change? They obviously haven't changed the game of politics. Billary and Bama Lama Ding Dong boost the word "change" every time I see the media put their face on my boob tube. The first place they could start changing things would be on the Senate floor that they're already on. Just go and look at their voting records for the last several months and you will find they aren't showing up to vote. You know, the job they campaigned so hard to get by promising "change," but they just don't have the time. McCain isn't immune from this either.

Let's talk "change." What in the world do these hot air compressors think they are going to change and why? Again, I'm just a professional bovine relocation specialist (it's the 21st century we used to call them cowboys). But the way I see it from Sunny Point, Oklahoma, how are they going to change the greatest nation in the world? All of the candidates are demanding we must change! OK. I wake up a free man every morning and I'm free to do anything that is morally right or I can do nothing. If I choose to do something productive that day, well I can whistle at my dog, start up my ol' tan feed truck that I bought with the help of a free enterprising banking system I chose to use. Plus, there's the fact that other free Americans assembled this truck, and the companies that bought, sold and hauled parts and supplies to make that pickup possible. As I turn the key, ol' tans fires up on diesel fuel that a mean, nasty, big oil company conveniently made very accessible and affordable to me. I turn out of my land that I can freely own, onto a county maintained road that leads to any point in North America I would choose to go to that day. Also, in this country, I am free to own livestock and free to care for them so that the livestock will return a profit so I can repay my bank, buy my feed and fuel, and provide for my family. On Sunday Morning (or any other day that ends in "Y") my family is free drive from our house on a ribbon of roads that lead to the Church of our choice and worship the real owner of all things we know, God. We can give praise to Him for all and especially for Jesus.

Why can't these hopefuls for the highest-ranking governmental seat see that it is just that simple? Provide me infrastructure and protect me from these knot-headed whack's that think they can take away our freedom. Billary, Bama Mama or McNobrain aren't going to change anything. The foundations of this great country can't be changed by one person, no matter how much they think they can. As Americans, we have the right to succeed or fail and try again as we please. As a free man, I'm getting good at failing but I get smarter when I try again.

When presidential candidates tout change, the only thing I see in this country that needs changing is them. Life in America is good and for those that don't think so, you're free to leave at any time, go to another country of your choice and try to change it. I'm Monte Tucker, and that is what's under my professional bovine relocation specialist hat. Wait, I'm not changing, that is what's under my COWBOY hat!

This is the day the Lord has made...REJOICE!

Easter

Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.

Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) than it will be this year (2008) but that is pretty rare.

This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early previously (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here are the facts:

1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).

2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

Happy Birthday Superuncle Ivan Moffat!

Happy Birthday Uncle Ivan Moffat, El Reno, we wish you many many more special days and lots more wonderful Birthdays!!!
