I have a one legged cowboy sighting to report. He was last seen stuffing his face at the Quartzsite gem and mineral club's Christmas dinner a few days ago. In true cowboy fashion he was talking and eating at the same time. He looked spry but he was in the company of Mikey so I can't vouch for his mental state but he is alive and still talking so all is right in the world. ..lol.

The Effus Ranch is well, we had a roundup and branding. Yes I was the cowboy caught roasting marshmallows over the branding fire! LOL
Chips my east coast horse luvs the desert and the great alfalfa here!
Diane is lookin good folks, she is purty and plumb sweet n easy on the eyes!!!
Had a $600 alternator on the Ford go wonky!!! Ick expensive yes!!!
Riding the range a lot. We r missing some cattle, suspect deer hunter bagging slow elk err cattle!
Jamesp tumbled coral when Hillbilly Wire Twist wrapped are very popular with the ladies!!!
Went dancing by the campfire with a selection of fine lookin ranch ladies! Yee haw!!! LOL
Found some nice shattuckite type chryscolla, some teggs n geodes.
Not hounded much yet, sorta wore a hole in my stump with walking so taking it easy now n healing.
At Mikey now camping in his yard, hey its free and in downtown Q!!!
Have been to Prescott to the Saddle Shop, it's way cold up there!
I have had sausage gravy with homemade biscuits made by Rosie the beautiful owner of Effus Ranch. I proposed based on the gravy alone!!! She said I was just too young..... Sad moment but life improved when I found Sweet Darlene restaurant in Quartzsite and their gravy n biscuits with chicken fried steak for breakfast!!! I proposed but she said I was too old..... Sad about this too but hey there is hope!!! I hear the Horseshoe Cafe in Wickenburg has gravy n biscuits that are awesome!!! Wonder about the ladies there???
Living the life of a rubber tire tramp and cowboy breakfast connesier is hard work!

Hello everyone! I thought I would tell yall about my Mommy. She became unable to function with Parkinsons to the point that my Daddy could not care for her and went into a nursing home. She then had a operation for a infection on her arm and just stopped moving with organ failure. They put her on support for a few days and then Daddy and we plus she indicated that she wanted to go natural. She is a tough woman and is hanging on. I am here for the duration. Then we take her to where we grew up in the hills of Va.I left Chips my horse and Mic the dawg in Wickenburg with the Effus Ranch. Sorry to miss yall in Q for YONYS BBQ but I am where my heart directs me....
