The wind was blowing like hell making it a very difficult branding day. Ropes don't sail to well in high wind. Taken 4/28/2006.<center><br />n<br />nWell, we got them done. Overall the branding went well. We got them all in and got them branded. The wind blew like hell which made things…….difficult but not impossible. When I said yesterday the wind doesn't blow much here, that also means that when it does blow, it creates problems for us since we aren't used to it. <br />n<br />nOne big mystery from branding yesterday is how I cut myself. I got back from branding and took off my jacket and found my shirt sleeve soaked in blood. I rolled up my sleeve and there was a cut on my wrist that had bled for a while. I never felt it, or knew it happened. I really would like to know how it happened but I have no idea.<br />n<br />n<b>It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. Epictetus </b>
