Way to Early Normally
Well my morning began way to early today as my alarm clock went off at 4am. Normally this would be totally out of the question as I am so not a morning person but considering I had a branding to get to the idea of to early is not an option. Outta bed, get dressed (a total necessity), Bazi loaded, Baby Sayo loaded, (both equally as important as the getting dressed part) a fast stop in Bliss for diesel, chocolate milk, Mt Dew, and 5-hour energy in a bottle and Nevada bound we are….we have a branding to get to.
On the Road
On the road with my horse and dog, a wonderful day or work ahead of us, the wide open road in front of us, some good music playing on the radio….it was the perfect morning till I hit snow just as I got to the Duck Valley Indian Reservation…WTH is going on. Somehow somebody missed the memo that it is June, aka SUMMER, and it does not snow in the summer. Oh well I thought to myself…it will clear off as I get down there and we will be good to go. NOT!! I have to say that this was the first branding I have been to that we had the weather of all four seasons in just one day. It was nice to start with, then we had a mini blizzard, then it turned nice again, then the wind came up, a bit of rain mixed with some more rain and then by gosh lets end the branding with some more snow. Go figure…must be a Nevada thing.
Saddle Up
After 150+ mile drive the pooch, Baby Sayo and I arrived at the designated branding pens….no cowboys in site. Got my trusty ride saddled as I watched a the clouds rolling in thinking to myself that is no way in heck it is going to snow on us. So rather then me rattling on you all will have to look through the photos to see how the day at the branding went. All in all…..a great day, only one almost wreck and even though it was cold it was still awesome. So take a look and I can’t wait to hear what you all think of the pics.
