~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Jude58]

Cowboy, how far is the farm from your house in Veg? Looking forward to some videos of you working the fields.

Slo, hope that you feel better soon. I used to try and do too much in one day, and it always left me exhausted. Now I try to do a little each day instead of one big marathon and it really helps.

Rava, your tiny house sounds perfect! What did your doctor say about having knuckle surgery?

Hey Mul! Hope that you are doing ok.

24 more please...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Slo, I hope you get your strength back and feel better soon! Jude, the doc said that as long as I am successfully managed with the cortisone injections that he would not recommend the surgery. Only if the injections stop working. So that is fine with me. I am hoping this injection will last me until I return to florida in 6 months. I like this hand doc because he gives a shot using an ultrasound machine to make sure he injects in the perfect area. My previous docs did not do that. Well i hope everyone has a good and sober day. 24 more for us alll!

As I sit and look out the window this morning I see that the Northern Red Oak is leafing out. I love that tree. We planted it in my Dad's memory when he died back in 2002. It really offers a lot of nice shade in the summer.

Cowboy, I think you'll be too busy to be terribly lonely, but I'm glad you have planned visits with Bubba.

Jude, I think Mr. D and I are going to buy a few more fish and at the same time, some frog tadpoles. I love the sound of bullfrogs, don't you?

Ginger, I wondered if you would be pursuing hand crafts since your mobility is limited. I'll be you are frustrated with that darned old osteoarthritis.! I wish I could wave a magic wand and fix it for you.

Rava you and Mr. R really have made some excellent choices in terms of your homes and how you manage your time between the two places!

Hellooooo, Mul!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Bubba used to come out and spend the odd night with me when we lived in Vermilion Rava, but she hasn't done that since we moved to Vegreville. She'll make a trip out to drop something off in the camper if I run out of something, but otherwise we won't see each other till we get rained out or finish seeding. Did you learn anything about a knuckle replacement from your Doc?

The farm is about a 40 minute drive from Veg Jude, about 10 minutes longer than it was from Vermilion. Too much travelling to go home every night so that's why I stay in the camper.

We all have to learn to slow down and take things easier as we get older Slo, I'm thinking a house cleaner might be a good idea for you.

I did take a short video yesterday, I'll try and get it uploaded today. We finished the peas yesterday and switched over to oats to seed a field for green feed. This is a new piece of land Corey just rented, it was a buffalo pasture for years and now going to be farmed. Should make for an interesting day lol.

Waves to dill and Ginger, have a great day everyone!

[Ginger999]

Dill, I absolutely believe the hand went when I switched from hiking/walking to crafts. Advanced osteoarthritis is no joke, I'll tell you that! I had a hand appointment yesterday and they tell me nothing left to do but a cmc joint replacement. I'll be pondering that until I see the surgeon on June 15. They said it takes up to a year to be back to normal. Enough of that! Counting my blessings. It could be so much worse.

One day down, ABC!

Hey Jude, Slo, Rava, Mul!

Let's all have an easy AF day!

I just realized I haven't been on here in a while, so figured I better stop by and say hi, and that everything is fine. Between this stretch of gorgeous spring weather and hockey playoffs, have kept me busy during the witching hour. The sunny warm weather in the evenings does sometimes bring an urge for a beer or two, but I'm a pro at this by now! Anyways, it sure is lovely out there now, with all the flowers and blossoms, and the bright green leaves out on the trees now too finally. Hope you are all well and AF!

[Jude58]

Thanks for the video cowboy! How's your back after bouncing around in the tractor all day? It looked like a pretty rough ride in the second video.

Mul, good to see you, and glad that you're doing ok.

Dill, I love the sound of bull frogs as well as the tree frogs. Both have been quite vocal lately and I enjoy sitting on the porch and listen to them sing.

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

Thanks for the videos, Cowboy. I love the ride-along!

Ginger, you will have a lot to consider. A year is a long recovery, but I bet the secession of the pain comes sooner than that. And you have a lot of years ahead of you, so....

Jude. I haven't heard you mention your dear neighbor that is quite elderly. How is she doing?

Slo, Rava and Mul, waves!

24 more please.

[abcowboy]

5:11am in Alberta, I'll have 24 more please, and thanks...

Sounds like a long recovery process Ginger, but will be worth it in the end.

Hope the cortisone shot helps and lasts as long as you hope for Rava, sounds like this Doc knows what he's doing.

I haven't heard any frogs yet dill, usually they are making a racket in the evening.

The track tractors are pretty smooth riding Jude, but it was very rough in that breaking yesterday lol. Good thing the tractor has an air suspension seat or I would have back problems.

Good to see you Mulburry, hopefully the Avalanche make it to Round 2, the Oilers are moving on.

Got started seeding wheat yesterday after finishing that oat field so it's much smoother going now lol.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Thanks for the videos Cowboy. You sure did bounce around a lot on the second one! Hope you never break down in the middle of that lonely field! Jude if you like frogs look up Bufo Toads. Thats what we have down here in Florida. They are everywhere and poisonous to pets. We are told to kill them if we see them. Our condo has people that hunt and kill them. Never heard of them until we came down here. They shoot their venom and kill dogs and other animals. We see them lurking at night around lampposts, etc. Ginger, I hope you get some relief for your pain. Thanks for checking in Mul. Hi to everyone and wishes for a great and stress free day! 24 more please.

[Ginger999]

Howdy Mul! I was wondering what you were up to. Good to see you!

ABC, great pics! Thanks for all your hard work bringing this bounty to our tables.

Rava, those frogs sound awful. I've never heard of them. I'm going to go look them up. In AZ we have bull frogs that invade the resort in the summer. They leave turds the size of a small dog! Its wild.

Does anyone here see a chiropractor? If so, do you believe in the practice or have any opinion?

Howdy Dill, Jude, Slo!

I'll take another day of freedom!
