Now.

What I want you to do is this.

Tell all your blog budereenos what your favourite type or/and types of music is....

And then tell them all what your favorite song that DOES NOT fit into those categories is.

Generally I listen to metal, rock, bluegrass, country and occasionally some alternative music.

However, one artist always makes me crank up the volume and the bass.

That's: Too Short's Cocktails

And If You Swim Every Day, You Never Need to Bathe

Older rich man: I stopped using soap back in '74. There's a lot to be said for some hot water and a good scrub.

I don't know why but I thought of this.

My wife had to have a root canal done yesterday. Her tooth which has been bothering her for quite some time now has finally made it's presence known in full force. I kept telling her for the past several weeks to go to the dentist and get it checked out. She just wanted to wait. Well it got worse and she had to go a oral surgeon to have the root canal done. Shortly after it was done, she called me to say she was on her way home. Which if you've been around anyone who has had one side of their mouth numbed the last sentence I wrote can come across very funny.

It came across like this:

Hi bave, vy vouth is so thore, I had thou have a roof cammal.

A what?

I had thou have a roof cammal

Sorry sweetheart, I can't understand you (of course while I'm chuckling a little bit to myself)

I had thou have a roof cammal you muver fucker

So now I'm rolling in my chair, laughing, and I try to tell her I'll see her when I get home so I can get her pain meds.

After 30 minutes, I'm home and she's in her chair laying down. I walk in and she starts going at me for being mean to her. Her jaw and tongue are still numb, so you can imagine how everything was coming out.

I couldn't help but laugh and she was so animated that it made it funnier. Finally, she gave up and started laughing as well cussing at me.

After a bit, things quieted down and I took her to IHOP so she could get pancakes since she needed something soft to eat.

Just came across this out of the blue and thought it was pretty good.

When you pull a pizza out of the oven and let it cool.

Just because the top feels cool doesn't mean that the sauce is not still as hot as lava.

So next time give it a couple more minutes and you might not burn the roof of your mouth.

Since I have been rather busy as of late and not much time to blog I thought I'd fill you in on my weekend.

On Saturday, I went over to a friends house about 90 miles away to work dogs. I had a great time and it truly felt wonderful to get to do some actual farm work again. We started off fixing some electric fence for his mules. Something spooked them the other night and they ran through it or deer knocked it down which is possible too. So after an hour of walking the line to tighten it up, we checked it and put the mules back in the pasture. We watched as they slowly crept up to the fence and one was brave enough to touch it. We heard a loud hee-haw and suddenly all the horses were back into the dry lot. That proved that it worked, so that's enough for us.

We then set out to get all of the plastic panels from the winter field and move them into the summer field where the sheep have been grazing. The first thing we had to do was separate the lambs from the ewes. We gathered the flock and moved them into the sorting pens. Once we got the lambs sorted, since they needed to be completely weaned by us and not just by their mom, we moved them onto the summer field. Lambs are great for training on with experienced dogs. They are flighty and much more nimble than their parents. You can really learn a lot about pressure points and when you've become accustomed to over flanking your dog. So, we got all of the panels set back up and went to work our dogs for a little bit.

Here is a picture of the summer field.

This is my friends son Wyatt with his dog Spot. If you look through the panels towards the trees you can barely make out the figure of a man. That's where the sheep were. It's a pretty big course and his trial in the spring draws a large crowd from all over the U.S. and Canada. I sent my dog out there 8 times and then I took over duty to set the sheep out, so away I went on the quad bike.

We did that till lunch time, then after that we started putting up panels to give the sheep a shelter area. Which if you look at the picture again, those tee post closest to me are where we put the panels up at as right behind me was the lambing shed.

While I helped put up panels and helped with some of the chores around there, Wyatt was busy mowing down some of the excess weeds that had accumulated.

After that we worked dogs again.

It was truly a great day and I loved it.

Going to a friends farm on Saturday to work some sheep and help him out. It's been a while since I've been able to get out and truly work dogs in a more natural setting. They've got ~ 150 ewes and while he ran them through the chutes a couple of weeks ago before the Sheepdog Finals he needs them sorted before lambing.

Needless to say I'm very excited and then I told my wife my plans. She just looked at me and said "why are you asking me for permission?"

I said "I'm just letting you know of what I'd like to do in case you had something else planned."

She just gave me a puzzled look and said "go ahead."

Then she started giving me all kinds of hell for asking. I just laughed.

Later we went to her parents house to have dinner where she started to give me hell about it again, making jokes and then her parents stepped in and started giving her hell.

What goes around comes around, I guess. They supported me in my actions and told her she could stand to learn a few things about common courtesy when dealing with your significant other. "You are married now" her mother said.

I just smiled and asked her to pass the butter.
