Good times on the farm

This Saturday I had another sailing race, and this one was great. The race was about 80 miles from Richmond to Stockton and was a hard fought race. Of the 125 boats, I think we did fair. We were one of the three SC 27 boats and behind one boat for the whole race. Within eyesight of the finish line we were still behind and the wind was nearly dead. We gybed twice and they mimicked us. Luckily a boat shadowed their wind right before the finish line and we pulled ahead just as we crossed the line. We won by only two feet or so and had a great time. It took us 8hours and 45 Min to finish and we ended up 81st.

Here are a few of the pics from last week at Myron house in Oakdale. For those of you non committed readers, there are more pics in the previous post. I, most of all, realize that reading is not fun, but I am finding myself reading more and more peoples blogs. This is good and more of you should keep reading my posts and comment if you find anything funny, agree with all the BS I dish out, or disagree...wait...I don't care if you disagree with me so just leave me alone if you disagree.

Cow after the throat has be slit. About ten gallons of blood came out.

Cow on the ground

Skinning the cows face. It was quite a scene.


Getting ready for, well look at the next pic.

Need I say more.
Cool saw that can cut through just about anything. From start (death of the cow) to end these guys only took just over thirty minutes.
The cow was 7 months pregnant, but unable to stand so killing it was the most humane thing to do. Unfortunately here is the dead cow baby. Have a great week and enjoy the wonderful pics and reading opportunities that this blog provides.
