Jake pulled Phil home with Ann ride'n shotgun... and me following with lights flashing... it was 6:30pm and traffic was terrible.. but we made it just fine.... Sure glad Jake had his big welding truck...

and where the doe went.. before she died...

Getting closer, sigh... finally done..... yeah....

Phil called to tell me about Jason working here. Milligan. Cool to see some of the neighbors kiddos doing well too. Well, this is my last one for today, they are about done, we had brake line flushed anx a new fuel filter put on besides changing oil and filter... now need to rob a bank... fuel is now 4 cents CHEAPER today in Stillwater. It's 3.04! Later

live in among the dead.....

The gate to.................

life in amongst the dead....

Looks this am like Ann's Morning Glorys are about to call it quits...

Pulled in my drive last evening coming home from studio.. and there in my drive by the barn was a gaggle of welding trucks....

They were backed up to this box blade I had bought several years ago, and used one time and drag dirt about 7 feet and the hitch bent and was unusable after that for all this time.
Well, little Jak'er.... had some of his awesome welding buddies stop in last night and they put their magic to work on this ole twisted box blade and it looks like new this am and 100 times better and stronger!!
Thanks to the guys for fixing this deal for me... now I await the bill for services rendered... may have to get Ann the 7 or 8th job to pay for this great work!!

ice on the pumkin patch.. haha.. ok..

poor try at humor, but it t'was ice on this plant....

interesting tree and light was kind'a cool for black and white...

Do you see what I see...

Jet high in the sky... and food in the trees...

this portable calf creep feeder was one of the first things I bought when Ann and I got married...

I pulled it home from the plant on the south end of El Reno, and fed the calves out of it that paid for my 1973 454V8 Chev. Truck my father in law who was sales manager at Vincent Chevrolet in Stillwater sold me brand new. When I put the calves on feed it would have took only 5 to pay for it, with high beef prices, but Pres. Nixon put freeze on beef and prices fell and it ended up taking all 23 of the calves to pay for it... using oats and Prolix, a liquid feed ... the calves really gained weight.
In a sense, as I look around, it seems there are lots of these memories around. Sure hope you don't get to bored reading.. haha.. I have fed many a bag of feed through this feeder.. some years making money and some years wondering why I did it... so I guess the "salute to an old friend" is appropriate.

at soon to be 61, one must have a sense of humor...
