November 11, 2011

On this Veteran's Day, let's all give thanks to those men and women who protected this country from oppression and tyranny. Remember all our veterans gave some and some gave all. Please say a prayer for our service men and women overseas protecting our freedom today and let us not forget freedom is never free.

We had a busy week. I picked up a load of cattle in Tenino on Tuesday, stopped at Tim Kunka's Tuesday night, sorted a few more cattle to finish the load at Tim's Wednesday morning and got back to Moxee Wednesday afternoon. I spent the day in Goldendale yesterday with Rep. Chandler and Senator Honeyford visiting with the Goldendale School District, Chamber and a few folks from the Conservation District. We also taped a radio program for KLCK.

Emily headed over to Mossyrock with two horses to leave with Tim. I know I've said it before, but if you need a horse trained you need to contact Tim Kunka at timkunkatraining.com. Emily's going to pick up the last load of cattle and a horse Tim's had since August.

Robert and I are headed out to work on fence and we'll be hauling a few cows home this weekend. Only two weeks until Special Session and there's a lot to be done.

September 1, 2011

Where did the summer go? Seriously, it seems like I just returned home from a very, very long Legislative Session (ok, it was long ... 135 days long). We officially started 3rd cutting of hay this week for two of our "custom" customers. Our hay fields look to be a couple of weeks out, but we'll see. I'm thankful for mild weather this week and hope to get a lot done before the weekend.

Since school started on Monday, I decided it was time to get back into shape and started exercising again. I kept telling myself "round" is a shape, but the guy in the mirror didn't buy it.

I was reminded yesterday of yet another fee increase passed by the Democrat Majority last session. I stopped in and bought my Hunting License yesterday, which saved me from the increased fees that begin today. Sorry all you hunters, but if you haven't purchased your hunting license for 2011 yet it's going to cost you more.

The next couple of months look to be fairly busy for me. I have several committee meetings in Olympia and several meetings with constituents and constituent groups leading up to the committee meetings. Over the past couple of days I've received a bunch of information on tribal retrocession, which will keep me busy for a few days. I'm also participating in a property rights seminar in Spokane on October 1st related to critical areas and shoreline management. If you want more information on the meeting, let me know.

We're headed to Mossyrock this weekend to take a couple of horses to Tim Kunka for training. Tim does a great job and I would recommend him to anyone. We're taking a few calves too ... Tim's been holding Ranch Sorting events Thursday nights at his place. Visit timkunkatraining.com for more information.

July 25, 2011

What a great weekend. The entire Full Loop family went over to Mossyrock to visit our friend Tim Kunka. Robert and I took three of the kids over Friday afternoon and Molly and Emily came over after work Friday evening. We rode the horses down to the Tilton River and swam them across it. After fishing for a little while, we rode back to the house and sorted cattle until around 10:30. It was really a great way to start the weekend.

On Saturday, we worked the horses and then went back down to the river for most of the day. When we got back we played with the cattle a little while, ate and crashed out. Sunday morning came too soon ... none of the kids wanted to leave. We went back to the river one more time for just a little bit and finally hit the road home around 5:30 PM. We ended up leaving one horse for Tim to work with over the next month.

I woke up this morning to a massive thunder boomer formed over West Valley. So much for cutting hay today, unless the boomer stays in West Valley and the Lower Valley this morning. A great weekend and now back to the grind.
