gone for a while

I'm sorry I've been gone so long! I've switched jobs kind of. While I'm still running Double P Tack, the local branch of the University of New Mexico has hired me as a User System Analyst III. So I basically get to show people how to run projectors, build technology teaching systems and do some training when all else fails. Not a bad job and only 11 miles from home. Though my hours are a little wacky. So I hope you all are kicking tail and taking names, I should be paroled to a regular schedule soon.

A young friend of us here at Double P Tack passed away on the 27th. Bryan Howlett a potentially great bullfighter died at his home in Ignacio, CO. We met Bryan a few years ago at the Casper Baca Rough Stock Series. The first day out he took a hooking which broke his arm pretty good. As soon as he was released (actually helped before) he was back to fighting bulls. I think he had a bright future as a professional bull fighter. This kid was extremely polite and the kind of kid any family would be proud of. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, he will be missed!

Superbowl, NO, PBR on TV, NO! Real action up close and personal!

No I wont be sitting in a nice warm house this weekend watching the tube/flat pannel. I'll catch the Super Bowl and the PBR on NBC after I get back from real live action!

LDS Church leader passes.

What a weekend!

So here I sit broke. Wishing I could get to a few of the shows around. What shows you ask?

Well about 50 miles are 1&1/2 hours depending on traffic is the first ever New Mexico Stampede PRCA Rodeo in Rio Rancho, NM. Yeah ok so I'm not big on Rio Rancho so I'd take my next option which is the PBR/ABBI competition in Amarillo, TX which is only 300 miles away. Well 290 to the motel I normally stay at! And if I was real rich, well then, I'd be off to the CBR finals in Las Vegas at the South Point Hotel. Well I'm not rich so I guess I'll stay home and get things cleaned up before my season hits and I'm too swamped to do anything on the weekends.

Oh well on the 2nd the Casper Baca Roughstock series starts. Oh heck talk about another busy weekend. But that's for a whole other post!
