More Fall Work

Hubba — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:57:19 +0000

After I get done writing about the “Disaster of ‘89,” and write about the “Adventure of ‘90″ I can write about the “Adventurous Disaster of ‘92.” All of these, in case you hadn’t guessed, are stories of our ill-fated cattle drives. The only one of the above three that has survived is the “Adventurous Disaster of [...]

The Summer of ‘89, Cont.

Ok it’s close enough now I can tell the rest of the story. The cows had been up at Cascade Springs in the Black Hills since mid July. Except for maybe Dad going to check on them we had pretty much forgotten about them. But Dad had made a plan to gather them into a set [...]

I just got in from helping the neighbors work cows. We started at eight this morning and we were done by three, but we had a few odd jobs to do. There were twelve of us, and it went really good. I took my video camera and made a video, but between the wind and the [...]

How Great They Art

I have subscribed to ‘davepedalsteel’ on Youtube for about a month now. Dave Hartley is from the United Kingdom, and he’s a steel guitar master, which I admire and envy all at the same time. Today when I visited Youtube, this gem was waiting for me, and I simply had to post it. [...]

Bob Bosse of South Dakota Public Television wanted some old pictures of me for his Dakota Life segment (which should be out in May, by the way.) I had been meaning for quite some time to find old photos and learn how to run the scanner, and this was the perfect opportunity. I can now add [...]

The ESN; Telephones and Football

The weather here in Elm Springs alternated maddeningly between cold and hot, and Sunday was miserably windy. Most of the kind citizens went to Wall on Saturday to attend either the Golden West Annual meeting or the Wall/Phillip football game or both, while one or two attended the Lutheran Ladies Bazaar. The Wall/Philip game, [...]

In Pictures; Wall/Phillip

Hubba — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 05:20:22 +0000

Locally, it was billed as the game of the season, a clash of titans- the Wall Eagles versus the Phillip Scotties, two teams who had steamrolled three opposing teams each. Wall had a points total of 145-0 on the season so far, and the Scotties, while not blanking anyone, had racked up an “almost obscene [...]

From the Mouths of Babes

Thursday was James Leslie Timmons’ (that’s such a cool name) birthday, so I decided to ride with John, Kathy, Bob and Patty Timmons to “Razor City” to wish him a happy birthday. On the way, we stopped at Devil’s Tower in Wyoming to tramp around the base. But it was another geographic landmark that drew Patty’s [...]
