July 21st

an ominous sign. a single track weaving up the rain pocked road. silence in the barn yard. bud wiser looking over the fence.the lonely bull sprawled on the couch. tired but victorius on the field of battle.  see, it is way harder to motivate solo, than to kick one of those other characters in gear.  eddie down riding bulls, ike hanging in sin city , zach and carmen moving michael to denver.  sister marie and gary galavanting first time in forever! i think the plan is.  to join up with family and spend a wk.

  bro tim missed eggs and sausage cause salma jax chris and i finished it up. he was flaunting his new truck. pretty snazzy . chris and he found a small leak yesterday. one amenable to a patch. catching up with the big leak. chris planning to take th rest of the herd up fri.. wants to stay a month up on top or so. with the monsoons it may happen . we are green all over .some of the grass is jumping in places. have some turf loss. not sur why .no snow?

  hay finally down.now dodging clouds.sandy and carmen off to albuquerque to clean the hyder st . house sat and sunday.salma should be leaving some where around then. if marie doesn't make it back by then chris and i may starve. poor things un loved and unwanted!
