Experiencing Cow Chip Toss First Hand

Identifying a freshly dumped pattie

Chatham Cow Chipping Competition was long over when I visited my brother at his town of Chatham.  As I promised, here are some times that I enjoyed and shared with my brother Don. Do not expect any great thoughts.

You cannot make any of this up. Good times were had by all.

I was active in finding and scooping up the patty.

Notice that the patty is the size of a toilet seat.

Disappointment at the failed toss. It went about
7 to 9 feet. Oh, well. Next year.

The patty now lies in my yard. It will disintegrate
in time.  

 My brother Don contacted his friend Gene, who cleared the field of cows for our adventure. The field was loaded with products. We had much product from which to choose.

Don spent a lot of time on farms over his 72

years. He is so much fun to share our

stories and memories.

He also possesses so much knowledge about

livestock and farm life. 

Got nothin'...

Nothing is flowing from my brain to fingers to keyboard.  It has been a long few weeks, and I am tired.  My beloved returns to work tomorrow at school, and the house will be quiet.  I can write then.

Below are family photos taken at San Diego's Wild Safari Park near us.  We had a grand time, walked all over, laughed, ate ice cream, posed for photos, and loved each other.

These are recently born pacas.

These are people whom I love.

Be back in a day or so.  Maybe my brain will remember stuff by then.
