Update

I was visiting with my well-seasoned mom last night and when she asked me about my back I realized I haven't mentioned my progress lately. The steroidal injection fixed me up real good, working away and happy about it. All the pain is gone but I am still have a little numbness in my foot but it's not slowing me down. I will probable go get another shot to finish getting rid of the numbness but I'm good to go now.<br />n<br />nAround the ranch not much new and exciting going on. Just checking water and getting ready for shipping. I will be shipping calves on the 30th of Sept. so have been going over corrals and fences in preparation for doing this. I sometimes procrastinate doing things around the house but I don't like to do it on the ranch so got that stuff done early.<br />n<br />nGrass is really dry around here and I noticed that the grass in my farthest pasture was getting a little short and the water was getting shorter so I opened it up today so the cattle in that pasture can start working towards home. They will be able to move down out of the high country and get with the rest of the cows if they want but if they want to stay that's okay too. Will start back in the high country in the middle of Sept. gathering for shipping and then really start kicking cattle towards home. We are getting antsy around here for that to happen but we will have to curb our enthusiasm for a couple of weeks yet.<br />n<br />n<b>Enthusiasm produces the most cruel disorders in human society; but its fury is like that of thunder and tempest, which exhaust themselves in a little time, and leave the air more calm and serene than before.
