Ok, today I got the tractor out of the stack yard. I finally had presence of mind to unload the 800 pound bale of hay, then the tractor came right out. Plus the outside temperature was only about negative 15 degrees with the wind chill factor, so the ground was really firm and the tires were able to get some traction. So now at least I can back the pickup in and load hay by hand without having to manuver around the tractor taking up half the stack yard.
Lance Creek was placed back on the map recently when our local rodeo hero, Jason Miller, was named Steer Wrestling World Champion at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV. I told Jason what he did was nothing, I have jumped off my horse many times like that without even a nice, soft steer to land on! Jason is a prince of a guy. I have known him since he was about ten years old. He was just learning to drive when I came to Lance Creek and you'd see their pickup coming at you with two little heads just above the dash. Either he or his brother must have been running the pedals while the other ran the steering wheel! Scary. Jason also won first place at Cheyenne Frontier Days this past July. He had long been wanting to win the gold buckle there, so Jason has had a very good year. You can read more about Cheyenne Frontier Days and view some pictures I took of the action at my how to article on ehow.com.
