With the Christmas holiday finally in the rear-view mirror, it's time to focus on the road ahead for 2012. Boy oh boy, where to begin? Robert and I are working hard to get an arena secured in order to put on a practice series for calf roping, team roping, break away, and barrel racing. We think we have one secured, but need to get it finalized as soon as possible. This could be a really great opportunity to showcase our cattle with the local ropers.
We had our first 2011-12 calf last week. A really nice little bull calf that's doing really well. We should start seeing new calves daily sometime next week. I'm really looking forward to it. We've got our 2 and half year old stud colt (soon to be a gelding) over with Tim Kunka right now. Tim's been doing a great job with Buck. If you have any horse training needs, check out timkunkatraining.com.
Only about 9 days left until I head back over to Olympia for the 2012 Regular Session. After 3 years over there, I've learned that keeping a positive attitude can be very difficult. Fortunately, I've got some really great friends who (attempt to) keep me grounded and focused. If you don't know Charles Ross, you should! He's got the quickest (and sometimes harshest) one-liners around, like an old school gun fighter with words.
Matt Shea is another guy worth meeting. When it comes to Constitutional law and principles there's no one better, but he's also a guy you can trust to always have your back. Then there's Jason Overstreet (aka The Rooster) ... wow, where to begin? Jason is someone you simply must meet. Very principled, very conservative and not afraid to give his opinion to anyone. Jason is someone who always reminds me why we do what we do.
Now I've know Joel Kretz for a few years and can tell you stories ... wow. Joel is probably the only person in Olympia who knows exactly how to "communicate" with me and it usually involves him telling me to calm down about whatever it is that has me all wrapped around the axle. He's a great friend.
Finally, Richard DeBolt, our leader and Grand Poobah, is probably the toughest person to describe to anyone who doesn't know him. Rich has a great sense of humor and is one of the smartest people I know. When I met Rich for the first time he reminded me of Adam Sandler ... enough said.
I rely on the guys a lot in Olympia and trust them implicitly. I know I don't thank them enough for all they do and I hope they know I would go to war with them any day.

2011 2nd Special Session Day 5 and 6
I was able to get thing done fairly early on Saturday, so I ran down to Mossyrock to Tim Kunka's horse training facility to do a little ranch sorting, check our cattle and see how our two young horses are doing. I was not disappointed ... the cattle look really good, the horses seem to be coming along and the ranch sorting was a lot of fun. A couple of really nice ladies let me ride their horses for the sorting. The first one was a little soft mouthed, which made things interesting and when I set my spurs to the little mare started to hump up and buck a bit. I just kept her sorting until she worked through her little spasm. The second horse never bucked, but it was obvious she didn't appreciate my style either. One of the ladies said, "you ride more aggressive then I do. I've never seen her buck like that before." Man I needed that after a week in Olympia.
I got a call Saturday night from Jack Fields (Washington Cattlemen's Association Executive VP) to tell me the Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted an amended Wolf Management and Conservation Plan. Needless to say I was disappointed to hear that, especially after several Legislators sent the Commission a letter asking them to delay consideration until after the USFWS completes their status review. We also asked the Commission to tell the Legislature what they were going to cut in order to implement the plan.
I went to Fred Meyers this morning and the checker showed me a picture of a wolf someone she knows killed in Idaho this year. I guess the cowboy hat was her cue to show me. :-) I ended up talking to her and 3 other people about wolves in Washington. It's amazing more people don't know how many wolves are all ready here! Time to educate the masses.
I'm doing some laundry this morning and researching options to address the Wolf Plan. Interestingly, the Department of Fish and Wildlife has removed a required link to Wolf Reports from their website. Time to rattle some cages. I've also been looking into the depth of Agenda 21 infiltration in State Government. It's not pretty. For an example check out www.ecy.wa.gov/sustainability/index.html.

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.

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.

Another day of crazy weather here in the Moxee Valley ... rain, followed by wind, yuck! Last Saturday I participated in the Sort for a Cure event in Sunnyside. It was my first try at Ranch Sorting, but I had a great time and didn't take last place (actually 11th out of 18 teams). I was going to ride Chili, but she somehow got a cut on her head and it was swelled up. I ended up riding Icicle and she wasn't all that impressed with the other horses or people. She settled in and did just fine the second go though.
We put down 20 acres of hay on Friday and it was about ready to bale, until today's rain that is. The wind is helping out and we were able to get started raking it tonight. It's a little discolored, but I think it'll be alright.
So yesterday was the first meeting of the Joint Executive-Legislative Workgroup on Tribal Retrocession and I found out that I'm either the co-chair or vice-chair (I was called both). That's fairly interesting since I wasn't asked my thoughts on the agenda or schedule for the rest of the year. Oh well. The meeting was actually pretty informative and I've got all sorts of new ideas for legislation.
We're going to go to Mossy Rock this weekend to see our good friend Tim Kunka, ride horses and chase calves. I'm really looking forward to it. Tim trains horses and does a really good job with them. We took him 19 calves a couple of weeks ago, so now he's also holding some sorting events at his place too. If you need a horse trained, Tim is the guy to do it.
