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.

I am never eating beef again.

At the same time, I can't stop laughing at the manner in which this blog was presented. It's so John. Good times, good times.

NateF said...

I'm sure PETA is a big proponent of this blog at the moment...but hey, beef, it's whats for dinner!

Lyndsay said...

that's disgusting..but i'm glad you enjoyed it!

Laura E said...

I nearly lost my lunch. Why in the world do you need to skin a cow's face? Why? Was Brenda witnessing this debacle as well?

Laura
How on earth are you going to eat cow head without skinning it first. duhh.

Anonymous said...

Yes, I witness this through my fingers spread over my eyes at a distance. The skinning and the cutting open of the (full)stomach was the worst. The hide is valuable, liver and tongue (3 feet long) are delicacies and the workers like to boil the head and eat the meat off of it. Yummy!

bje said...

Were there fresh steaks on the dinner table this evening?

30 minutes, start-to-finish, that's incredible.

Laura E said...

I can hardly stand to eat the meat off a chicken leg or off a cow's rib. I can't imagine sucking the meat off the skull. Gah.

When do you arrive to the great South Dakota, John?

definitely a good conversation starter if i have to say so myself

Traditional banking has always been a brick and mortar building where you go to deposit or withdraw money.

This banking Internet option has been very popular not only for customers who want to have some control over their account without having to go to the bank but for banks as well whose man hours have been freed up from performing simple tasks like balance inquiries, account transfers, and the like because the customer does it himself with banking Internet.

Banking Internet options have become popular because they save customers time and money, which is a very trendy combination. Banking Internet which only exist online means you will have to transfer your money to the new account or else mail a payment via check.

Historically banks were institutions that held your money under lock and key.

Traditional banks have monitored the popularity and growth of the internet, and realising customers wanted greater control of their affairs, have created their own internet banking web sites.

The purest form on online banking is the virtual bank, where the only place they exist is in cyberspace.

Real Madrid’s hopes and dreams were smashed by Lyon on Wednesday, where the Spanish giants had a tied game but were beaten in the aggregate score, 2-1. No more final in the Bernabeu Stadium. No more Champions League. Real Madrid players were devastated by the result. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]camiseta real madrid[/url] In the match against Zaragoza, Real Madrid dominated the game from the first minute, coming close to scoring at minute 2 when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a clear option after goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez cleared the shot from the Portuguese. Minutes later, the Whites kept control of the ball while Real Zaragoza was trying to close the spaces and the opportunities for the Meringues in their area.

At the end of the game, Kaka expressed his satisfaction at his team’s performance, happy to have helped his team by adding a point. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]benzema[/url] The team gave a great performance on Tuesday, playing an offensive game and demonstrating why Barcelona and its players are considered the best in Europe. Barca opened the score only 20 minutes after the game began with the newly acquired Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibra had another opportunity to score after a pass from Messi but the ball crashed against the post.
