Preparing to Install a Water Tank
Our ranch hand intern Jeremy Balderrama has come back to give us a hand before his college classes start up this fall. We are glad to have the help. We have lots of work on our headquarters to do while we wait for the rain this season. Looks like Jeremy will get to sharpen his concrete working skills, mechanic skills, painting skill, texturing walls skill, wildlife ramp building skill – and more. He will be ready to start riding and gathering these scattered cattle after all the construction, remodel, and repair projects we are working on. A saddle gets looking better after a week or so of cleaning barns and workshops!
The fire/drought restrictions are finally lifted. That means we can work on our Forest Service permit as well as our headquarters. The rain is sure slow getting here though. We have has less than half an inch and that was spread out over four days. The ground is still dry. Rain has been all around us though. We can see it falling just past all four sides of the Double Circle. Rain close enough to smell – but just off of the ranch. I guess our turn for water is coming – and hopefully soon.
Meantime – hang in there Jeremy – bound to rain sometime!
