Mine is a bit different. I've never tried to ride a bull or even to have claimed to.
On my first hitch at Ft Riley Ks I got to know a farmer close to Wakefield KS. I did some mechanic work for him and was able to hunt on his land. Bout that time I made friends with a guy who claimed that he was a roper and had ridden rodeos. The farmer called me and ask if I could get a freind or two to come up and help drive a steer with pink eye into a pen so he could treat it. So I called the roper thinking he was telling tails. Saterday morning we drove out the the guys farm and Mr Rodeo has a rope with him. The farmer gets an idea, he's got a Ford 8N and thinks we should put the roper on the hood and I should drive the tractor. We by now I'm pretty sure my buddy is going to make a fool of himself.

First time he dresses up to go to the club was country night. He's got a Stetson, weatern shirt and jeans, boots and SPURS. Keeps telling everyone who would listen that he rode bulls in rodeos. One country night I met 2 freinds, brothers, from Combat Support Company at the club....these boys had scrap books with news clippings of themselves as amature rodeo clowns......in walks the guys with the spurs.....sees me, gets a drink and joins us and starts talking about riding bulls. One of the brothers starts asking questions like he's real interested.....then asks "what kind of bulls you ride....Mr Spurs says, polled herfords....so the guys asks....what do you hols onto....Mr Spurs says....the horns......

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
