I've spent a good part of my life teachin history at that historic fort. Friends have been made, and grown to family. My own young Buckaroo has spent much of his life there: growin, learnin, and teachin

I carry these folks, and memories with me every day

Trimmed the horses and the mules at the Historic Fort today. Then after was able to saddle and ride. Been a long while since I was on a horse, rather than under

Tonight, #NowWatching The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles with the Bucakroo. Right now Young Indy has joined Pamcho Villa's Revolutionary forces. Always one of my favorite episodes

This portable Remington went along with me all through college. I typed many assignments, drafts, and papers on it.

Some of the best 5 cents I ever spent

I've had this old Remington collecting dust for nearly 15 years. I bought a new ribbon for it a year or 2 ago. I need to do the work needed to return it to useful service. It deserves at least that much

Smoked chicken coming along nicely. Nearly time to add in the sausage, and pour coals on the Dutch-ovens for the sides
