April 30, 2013

The 2013 Regular Legislative Session has come to an end and I’m home for a little while. The Governor will be calling the Legislature back to Olympia on May 13th for the first Special Session of 2013. I say"first” because there’s already speculation that multiple Special Sessions may be necessary. In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying my time at home getting caught up on all the work I have around the house.

So the last few days have been really, really bad. We're trying to get the second cutting of hay done and things just seem to keep breaking down. First, we couldn't get a really thick grass/alfalfa field to dry out, then we couldn't get any dew on a different alfalfa field. Finally things looked good, but the parts we ordered for the rake we're the wrong ones (not our mistake though). We were able to borrow a rake for a day and things looked up again. We got our rake fixed with the right parts, only to have it brake down again ... this time badly. Spent Sunday working on the rake, got the bearings pulled and put into a different piece only to have the part break on the last bearing unit ... ugh! Finally after starting at 1:30 AM this morning, things looked good again. Only have about 13 rows left to bale in the alfalfa field and BOOM, the freaking front axle broke. Yup, broke! So instead of getting a little sleep today, I'll be back working on equipment. {sigh}

Not like things weren't bad enough, Saturday night Ruger's brother Remington (the new pups) was diagnosed with Parvo, so now we're on Parvo watch with all the dogs. Thankfully Remington is already back at home with the Beebe's, but I'm still worried about my little guy ... only time will tell.

The Moxee Hop Festival went really well. There were lot's of people and we had a good time (up until taking the dog to the emergency vet clinic at 7:00 PM Saturday night). I spent an hour in the dunk tank as a fundraiser for Wellness House and it sounds like they made a few hundred dollars over the course of the day.

Alright, so the second cutting of hay is not going well thus far. It started out good enough, but then the replacement tines we ordered came in and were the wrong ones. Luckily we were able to borrow a rake last night, but it's not working out real well for us. We'll try and get it set correctly tonight, but we're now another day behind. Ugh!

Molly and I went to Stephanie and Ryan's wedding on Sunday at Crystal Mountain. For those who don't know, Stephanie is my Legislative Assistant. We had a great time and got to meet Ryan and Stephanie's families. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Woodard!

The Moxee Hop Festival is this weekend, which is always a good time. I'll be in the dunk tank on Saturday at 1:00 PM. Molly is selling tickets so come on out and dunk your local legislator.

We've been sending out fresh roping calves and getting a few of the bigger ones back. Everything is looking good and we have a couple of bull prospects we're considering keeping into next year.

I just got word the next meeting of the Joint Executive-Legislative Work Group on Tribal Retrocession will be on September 16th at the Yakama Legends Casino in Toppenish. Mark you calendars and plan on attending if you have any interest in tribal civil and criminal retrocession.

Post from WA State Representative David Taylor at CHUM.LY

It's a beautiful morning here in the Moxee Valley. We had a very long, extended weekend, but we accomplished a lot. We had two parades, finished all of our 2nd cutting of hay, delivered cows and bulls to a rodeo, weaned calves, and fixed a lot of fence.

I hope everyone has a great day.
