April in cow country....was out today after all....20F and a nice breeze. Badger obviously was ready for his close up...he is actually trying to grab the cell phone and I am trying to not drop it while laughing. That's an old pair of chaps on the stock of a rifle, I made a flap to keep the rain and snow off.

You always post great pics RR. Do you drag your wife out there in the tundra to take them? Or is she as tough as you? I know you can't have a selfie stick that long. :lol:

My wife sometimes goes along, today there was a handy fence post to rest the camera on...It's good to record stuff, Badger and me are not getting any younger, and remember what Chet said to Monte Walsh...nobody gets to be a cowboy forever. It's true.

ps....I gotta say, that new belt from Hunter Company is really comfortable. Great service there too, the sales gal Cassidy was super helpful. I missed the mail pickup the day I spoke to her about my order so she packaged it up herself and took it to the post office on her way home. Yup, I'd spend my money there again.

We are both waiting for that. Gotta be careful with wet cold backs, good way to get bucked off. Tomorrow is 20F with no snow, better riding day.

I was thrown once. On my first ride. Broke my shoulder. Was 13 . Did not ride again until I was in my forties and then it was on a Icelantic pony. Closer to the ground.

RR, you are a living representation of the Henry Rifle family. Thank you for showing us how it was done. And, can still be. We all love seeing your pics. I know I, and others, see ourselves as the tough hombre you are.

God Bless, keep on riding brother.
