Sideways Bully

 I had a paid helper for a day doing some things we needed to get caught up on.
Other than pulling hay string out late in the season on this day the next day was a lot easier with fence clearing.
        Out cutting trees off fence with helper doing the work and me supervising and being lazy. 

    One of the bulls came up to the truck door and didn't have a clue I was inside.        
     This picture is about 3 ft from the window and distorted weird. 
      On this funny day he literally had his nose almost in the cab with me! 
 I calmly turned my head and in a normal voice said, boo ! He jumped. 6 ft sideways from me ! 
     Should have seen the way he looked at me ! Soooo funny !
      That was one really surprised and ticked off bull!! I swear I have never seen a bovine of any kind jump straight sideways!

Yummy Smoky Okie

We had this dish locally recently and it was really good ! Doesn't look that great in the pic but it sure was.


    Their's was fried potatoe rounds on the bottom then smoked BBQ pork with shredded cheese melted on top.
     For some reason mine wasn't as good. The only difference was I used beef instead of pork and my potatoes and BBQ meat wasn't smoked. Evidently that makes a really big difference. Darn! 
    It will be better next time

40 shockingly simple skills that today's pathetic Millennials have no idea how to do

#1) Plant a seed in dirt and grow an edible plant.

#2) Change a bicycle tire.

#3) Sharpen a pencil.

#4) Identify the name of any tree or bird in the real world.

#5) Check the oil level in any engine.

#6) Name a single star in the night sky.

#7) Change a blown fuse in anything (or even reset a circuit breaker).

#8) Drive a stick shift. (Many don't even know what "stick shift" means.)

#9) Navigate using a printed map without using GPS.

#10) Strike a punching bag without injuring their frail, fragile wrists.

#11) Repair a broken garden hose without throwing it away and buying a new hose.

#12) Stop bleeding with a tourniquet.

#13) Cut a piece of wood in a straight line using a hand saw.

#14) Carry a 50 lb. bag of animal feed on their shoulder for 50 meters.

#15) Cook a real meal that isn't "instant" or microwaveable.

#16) Start a camp fire, even with a lighter.

#17) Sharpen a knife, even using a knife sharpener.

#18) Build a shelter in the forest by using only forest materials.

#19) Use a car jack without ripping the bumper off the vehicle.

#20) Chop wood for a wood stove.

#21) Locate and reset the ground fault tolerant button on an electrical outlet to restore power to the outlets.

#22) Dry clothes on a clothesline.

#23) Strip a copper wire.

#24) Securely tie a rope to anything at all.

#25) Calculate a 15% waiter tip in their heads.

#26) Make a broken bone splint out of anything at all.

And for advanced skills, Millennials have absolutely no idea how to do any of the following:

#27) Catch a fish.

#28) Clean a pistol.

#29) Swap out the hydraulic hose on a piece of farm equipment.

#30) Intelligently read any food label.

#31) Purify water using a plastic bottle and sunlight.

#32) Make a water filter out of charcoal and sand.

#33) Fold a paper airplane.

#34) Make an emergency funnel out of aluminum foil.

#35) Chop down a dead tree with an axe.

#36) Read a compass.

#37) Cut a stuck seatbelt to escape a burning vehicle.

#38) Paddle a canoe in any intended direction at all.

#39) Open any can of food without using electricity.

#40) Siphon fuel from the gas tank of an abandoned car.

Now ask yourself this question, and answer honestly. Given that most Millennials know absolutely nothing about the real world -- and have no real-world skills to speak of -- how can they possibly survive the next great collapse?

The only time they're ever venturing out into the real world is when they're playing Pokemon Go (and walking off cliffs or stumbling into traffic as a result). Go figure...
