Carter Cattle Company: April 2006

Carter Cattle Company: April 2006

Well, here we go again. I posted yesterday, but, with the "cheesey" dial-up at home, it didn't take. Not much to report, black dog killed another duck. I HATE that dog. Got screwed on the on-call again. Now, I'm on till Friday, (Good Friday). Then, I have to try to get the yard at Inks Lake done, plus try to do something with my yard that day, and we have a whole house full of company coming. When on call, you have to drive the G-ride home, and leave my truck at the city yard, across town from the PD. Some of us are not good enough to park our personal rides at the PD. Some of us can't even park in the "Public" parking lot, next to the PD parking lot. And some of us have to cover call at the whims of the others that decide to take vacation when they are supposed to be on call. God, I love this job. I should be retired, but you all know that story. Had a storm go around us last week, didn't even get enough rain to measure. The hummingbirds are back in full force. Deb's having to fill the two feeders daily. The photos are kinda of dark, was late Sunday evening. Planted two 6-packs of okra last week. Had a hard time finding any. Oh well, they won't make till August, anyway. They sprayed to field next door to us last Friday. We both had a headache all day Saturday, and stayed indoors until late Sunday afternoon. Guess it didn't matter much, when on call, you can't go anywhere or do anything. BUT, I get 58.6 cents an hour, before taxes. Well, lunch break is about over. Back in the hole. Later, Rick.
