I never rode a rodeo bull butttttttt. Two of my cousins and I decided to try bull riding about forty-five years ago. We had watched a western movie and they had romanced the "H" out of the riders. So we decided to try it and see if the girls around us would get all lovey about us like in the movies. LMAO That was the dumbest part of our plan.
So we herded Grand Dad's big black Angus bull into the cow yard.( he weighted in at about 2800 lbs. I weighted about 140 lbs dripping wet) We had set up a couple of gates like the rodeo chute. I got elected to try it first. ( Yes I was the youngest/dumbest) We made a rope cinch strap. When I jumped on his back the bull just looked at me. He was kind of tame. We did not know what they tied to you-know what to make them jump. Anyway, my older cousin decided to "help" me have a better ride. He hit the bull with a hot shot. That really got things going. That bull ran through all of the gates we had up and out through the board cow pen fence. I stayed on through the gates but the boards kind of knocked me out cold. Plus the bull was really not happy at this time. He still had our homemade cinch strap still on.
When Grand Dad saw that plus then checked the farm out real good and found the broken gates/pen. He was as unhappy as the bull. LOL Lets just say that is the last time I ever tried riding a bull. OH yes it did take me several days to sit down right after that. Why??/ Well lets just say Grand Dad worked out his unhappiness on our back sides. Took us a week to coach the bull close enough to get the rope off of him. He never would go back into the cow pen either.
I often wonder how my cousins and I lived to adulthood.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
