KEEPIN TO THE OLD WAYS

[KOOTENAY COWBOY]

Winter is comin on and it time to build a new rig fer the next season.
I see from other posts cas Cowboys use something called a Cart.
I've always worked out the back of a wagon and not sure what a cart is.
I have never seem one but am willin to learn. Iam handy an can put one to gether.
Would you/all clean off a patch of dirt and draw me a map of this critter.
I can add a cart to my bunkhouse project an my sawmill still works.
Well I got me a new snow machine and Iam off to build a stone boat to feed this winter.
Iam gettin to old to hitch a team each morning an when the snow gets deep my yellow horse will do just fine.
Keep your powder dry.

Many thanks Deputy.
I changed my handle. That way folks will have a better idea where I brand my calfs.
Does anyone ever wander into the chat room.
Seem like the place to talk regular like.

HOWDY
Being a dial up kowboy limits my activities.
Searching is hard to do and the chat room is out.
Anyway I'll keep wanderin an maybe I'll come up with some ideas.

KOOTENAY KOWBOY   your right about the dialup,  I've got it here,  but don't say you can't just yet.  I posted probably several hundred pictures,  spent several hours in the chat rooms,   your dial up will be slower but you can have a great time here in Cas City. just get on there and start visitin,  somebody will be along fore long.

I've spent a lot of time visitin with some great friends.

Another thing:

If you need ta download pictures and other large files, there's nothing that says you gotta be there, staring at the 'puter, the whole time!  While I was still on dialup, I would do my downloading overnight, so's it would be there when I rolled out of the sack the next morning.

It's mighty nice of you fella's to ride over here in this cold.
I take a bit of comfort, knowin Iam not the only one suffern from the dial-up syndrome.
However Iam here to tell ya. Until you/all have suffered the Kootenay Dial-up you ain't never suffered a dial-up.
I've only owned a puter these last 3 years so I didn't suffer much before but Iam "online" now.
Been kicked off a couple web site fer my atty tude but the truth is the truth.
Anyway that's another story.
The layout of my spread is such that My stock drinks from the river and I only have to keep the bunkhouse water line
flowin. I like to spend a couple cups of coffee and read the lates news on a site like CAS City.
Iam sorta different as I not only ride horses I also race motorcycles.
I was to Alaska in June and put 14,000 miles on my Iron Horse.
I rode in a Buffalo Herd and was glad to get out of it.
If you like I'll spin the yarn.
I was up to Yellowknife an headed to the Alaska Highway by way of the Liard trail.
They have Buffalo in that country like ya/all have jack rabbits. Now I gotta shorten this story about 6 pages.
Any way, ridin between Fort Simpson an Fort Liard, in the dark,wet,mud and cold.
Iam slidin around a corner an I see a bunch of red circles.
Now Iam sufferin from a mild case of hypothermia an my brain isn't workin quite right.
The red circles is a herd layin/sleepin on the Trail.
Iam used to slidin an couldn't slow down. If en I stopped I would have fell over an that was not the place to be walleren around tryin to get goin again.
These were Wood Bison I was ridin with an they will put 700 lbs over the plains buff we always see.
OK so i figure out what Iam into and by that time Iam in the middle of the herd. I have reall powerful lights on my Iron Horse an they can spot a bunny at 1000 yds.
By the time my brain has come on line I go calves runnin in the lights with the cows an bulls tryin to catch up.
I keep pushin the calves to get them out of the way, cause I have 7 foot high bulls runnin beside me, but as soon as the calves run out of the light they jump back in, because the change in the light/dark scares em.
I can't ride past the runnin calves as they will jump right on top of me. I can see cows/bulls out of the corner of my eyes and they are reall worried about those babies.
We did this fer bout 1/2 mile an the babies finally jumped the shoulder an I kept on a goin.
I didn't look back an I didn't stop.
