Drover is in the CONE of misery…
He is not happy! Not pitching a fit…(it is not his way) But he is very unhappy! Drover has a place he hit some time back on the front of his leg, and when it is about well he will lick it and cause it to not finish healing! The hair is off this area …

Time…
To think about what happened yesterday… Several times I have pinched myself to make sure I am really alive… Had my foot not mashed that gas peddle to the floor I would not be here today… Did I do that on my own? No way… It was all God… Drover is doing fine…I am too… …

Drover and I are Fine! but for the protection of God…
I would not be here tonight… Les and I burn wood. We cut our own wood on the farm. We have been cutting some partially dead trees around the fields. They have been difficult to get to and made the chainsaw work particularly mean… A couple of times the saw has become stuck and foolishly …
