For the same reason that we use letter size paper (8.5" x11") and much of the rest of the world uses A4 (210 mm x 297 mm). Same reason that we don't widely use the metric system. Same reason that we haven't completely moved over to GSM cellular. "Traditions" take hold and it is *very* expensive to change.

I wonder if, she got those from Michael Jackson's closet? Chuck

It's kinda funny but, many of the cowboys I work with, wear lace-ups or what we call 'cowboy-tennies'. They're basically, a leather tennis shoe or sneaker with a spur ridge at the heel. Put some gel insoles in them and your feet feel good all day! Lace-up Ropers are fairly common, too. There are still, some cowboys who prefer a good pair of hand-made cowboy boots. Chuck

I'd say, see a doc, like Skymama says. That can be some bad shit! Let us know how it goes. Chuck

Nice goin' on the win! Makes it fun, when you win. I hate the lottery! At least the one here in Texas. They've jacked with the odds so bad. The lottery comissioner 'resigned' and they are supposed to bring back the earlier games where folks actually won a little once in awhile. When they do, maybe, I'll try it again. Chuck

______________________________________ Dayum! That, coulda' been UG-LEEE! It mighta been 'Boiled Billy' That ol' Chevy, I miss that car! I lost it in an ugly divorce. That car and 3-horses. Before I lost that car, I put the pedal to the metal, buried the needle. All it did was give me more. At that time, it had 113,000 miles on it. Not a speck of rust, anywhere. I just took care of it. The engine and tranny, especially. As for the ex that got that car... I couldn't give a shit less about! Chuck

My first car, was a 1965 Chevy Impala SS. 327cu.in. engine, 4-speed tran. rag-top, burgundy paint. Paid $800.00 for it... cherry! Chuck

Makes me think of that song: "I Wanna Fry-up an Eagle!" Chuck -
_________________________________________ Yeah, they sat around coffee houses, sipping espresso and read poetry. Rather than applaud, they snapped their fingers. Wore turtleneck sweaters and berets. Pot, was very popular to them. It enhanced their artistic abilities! Chuck

Do you have COOL neighbors, SHITTY neighbors, or CREEPY neighbors?
masterrig replied to ACMESkydiver's topic in The Bonfire
I've been taking plate numbers and descriptions of 'walk-up' traffic. My wife, who is in law enforcement turned it all over the the narcs. Right now, he's still loose and 'driving while suspended' with a pending DWI charge. The sad part is, he has two cute little boys who fortunately, get a lot of care from their mother's mother. The ugly part is, I don't care how big or how small, the community... that shit is there! Chuck -

Let's see, we have a next door neighbor who does Tarot cards and etc., 2-doors down, we have a 'dealer', across the street, we have an elderly couple who we are kinda' close to, an elderly lady who lives next door to them, neighbors down on the corner who we visit with on occasion. Don't really know the rest of them. Hopefully, we'll be moving and where we're going, the nearest neighbor will be about a mile away! -
So long, 'Little Buddy!" Chuck

_________________________________________ I agree with you, about offering the 'tools' to help. I don't believe, any of us will agree wholeheartedly with someone else. From what you have told me, maybe, I'd better watch him and give him another try. I wish, I had a better 'grip' on life but, I don't. I really don't know of too many folks that really do. I'm willing to try anything, once. As long as it isn't illegal, immoral or fattening! Wait! I'm going to have to back-up a bit on the fattening part. I might try a little of that. I appreciate your in-put. Chuck

_______________________________________ Dayum! That's not too shabby! For having never done it before, that's good! Sounds to me like, he might have just a little 'cow' in him, Chuck

That's a damn fine cuttin horse! ______________________________ Thanks! He'll do it all. I've learned a whole bunch from him! I've never seen him miss a cut! We had to cut 14-heifers one day. Buster and I were on the gate. The rancher I worked for would point'-out the one he needed. Push 'em to us. Buster got her cut-out and in the pen. He went 14 for 14! Chuck

______________________________ You got that right! What was funny about it was, the dumb broad missed us and it was while my horse was spinnin' out of the way... gave her a nose full of hoof! Oh hell, he won't mind us jackin' his thread! After all... it's BF! Chuck
-
___________________________________ Yeah! I'm not kiddin', we thought, they'd be all-right while we worked our cattle. Two or three of us damned near got freight-trained by the silly bitches! Finally, the ranch owner told us to get all the stock trailers and... "Load those stupid broads and get 'em outa my pens before they tear the shit outa the place!" We did! and they liked to wrecked the damned stock trailers! Hell, while we were pushin' 'em from out in the pasture to the pens, one of the silly bitches charged me and my horse! He spun around and kicked her right in the nose! Chuck

I think the Limousin came from over there, too.... good name for 'em, they look like they're 20 feet long!! _________________________________________________ They are a 'big' breed... and stoopid, too! When we worked cattle this past spring, 12 of those damned things had gotten in with the rancher's Brangus we were working. Our thought was, just bring 'em with our cattle and sort 'em out later. RIGHT! Usually, those Brangus will move along fairly well. The neighboring rancher's Limosin kept charging out of the heard and up-setting our cattle. When we finally got 'em to the pens, they liked to wrecked the place. We loaded 'em on stock trailers till we were done with our cattle then took those damned Limosin back to their owner! Chuck

It's OK but like everything else from there..........it has a rather noxious odor. ____________________________________ Here in Texas, that 'noxious' odor you refer to is, the smell of money! Chuck
-
Actually we do. In a place called Camargue. And we have wild horses too. There you have it. ____________________________________ I saw a story about them on Discover a couple years ago. Also, if, I'm not mistaken, we got the Charolais cattle from France. A good beef producer and a hearty breed. Chuck

I was just havin' a little fun. I've been to the 'Big Texan' and it's a good place to get a good steak. Chuck
