Cool Fall Morning




It is getting cooler here by the day - the high today is only 70! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR. John took this photo this morning (the overnight low was 30, so the pool was steaming).

Looking forward to Thanksgiving next week - Sean is coming!

Branding



Our boss, Philip (a native Texan) had a few co-workers over yesterday afternoon to help brand the new longhorns (and give the big ones their shots). John (a Chicago native), Christy (originally from Atlanta), Dave (Ohio) and myself (a Minnesotan) put on our boots and hats and went out to his ranch. After we used the ATVs to get the last 2 stragglers into the stalls, the vet arrived. Shots were administered and then we got down to the serious business of branding.

Philip branded himself (the burn looks like a "1") and then he branded the 2 new longhorns. Noone passed out. I believe this is considered a successful branding.
