TIME MARCHES ON, AND THERE ARE LESS BEANS........YEA.......!!

It's going pretty good, they are up to 5 hours a day, from noon to 5pm.  We are watching to make sure they eat their hay, if some of them don't eat their hay, they will have to stay in.  The hay is important to add fiber and bulk to their systems, to hopefully keep the beans from gathering up in a ball and impacting.  

This was last year during bean season, when Coquette did stay in for awhile.

Coquette is about the only one that looks at her hay with disdain on a regular basis, and wants to wait for the good stuff.  Just about the time we decide she needs to stay in, she will eat just enough hay to change our minds.  Maybe she has ESP tuned into our minds, who knows............LOL  

There's not many beans in their poo now, so we'll probably check out Burroland and see if the few range cows available, have made a dent in the bean crop.  We'll start them out just a few hours over there for a few days to see how it goes.  Hopefully a few days of introduction and we can get back to pre-bean normal routine.  I know the donkeys will be more than ready.  

If you look on the bottom corner of the window there is a roadrunner, sitting on the outside of the window,  looking in.  We have a couple of them that hang around the house, looking for a lizard snack and have been known to take a hummingbird.  I have no idea what he wanted, he sat there for a few minutes and then disappeared.

Haven't heard much from Lynn and Linda, although she did send some pictures of an outing they had on Mt. Huron, which is 14,003 feet high.  YIKES.......I'm glad she sent pictures, so I won't have to ever climb that high to see how gorgeous the area is.........LOL

TAKING A BREAK

 

SADDIK AND LENNON SOMEWHERE WAY ABOVE THE TIMBER LINE

DOWN OFF THE MOUNTAIN, LOTS OF WILD FLOWERS

RESTING UP FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE

I raced last Saturday night, finished 3rd to the 2 guys that have  been finishing 1st and 2nd to my 3rd or 4th.  Now I'm 15 points out of 1st place.  And the other guy is moving up more each race.  We will be running two 25 lap features the 2nd of September, and he'll probably pass me for 2nd place then, unless something happens.  Not that I'm wishing him any bad luck............LOL 

Heading out for the races Saturday, with the quad in the bed of the truck.  We were having to get to  the track, unload the car, unhitch the trailer, drive out of the pits to a place that was high, to use the ramps to get it out of the bed of the truck.  When we were ready to head for home, John had to reverse the process.  So he is using the flatbed trailer, we drove the quad up the ramps to the trailer, then ramps up into the pick-up.  John didn't like the way I did it, so I guess he'll do it from now on.....LOL  We have an enclosed box trailer, that we could use, I'm not sure why that hasn't happened.  Our grandson has it, but he isn't racing, doesn't like asphalt and waiting for the dirt track to open.  So it will be available for awhile I'm afraid.  The dirt track doesn't seem to be doing what they need to do to open for racing.  Hopefully by next year they will figure it out, but I'm not holding my breath.
