It’s been quite the year. 

We have migrated our business into our new digs on the corner of main and Hwy 56.

But we weren’t quite done with the remodel, so, in the process of everyday work and inventory draw, some of us were still trying to get things finished up.

There have been a few misunderstandings along the way, but nothing too major that it couldn’t be talked out and resolved.

There have been triumphs; we’ve developed our own spreadsheets to accurately bid jobs in a fraction of the time that we used to.

We have formulated teams that are strong and well orchestrated.

We’ve hired new employees, and, in what seems a stroke of good luck, we were blessed with exceptional guys to onboard with us.

One of our part time guys left to farm for the summer, which is understandable, but the hole he left is still felt.

And so now, I find myself in one of my favorite coffee shops in Dodge City, with my little computer in front of me, doing something that almost feels foreign to me.  And it must be somewhat foreign, because my spell check keeps popping up with spelling corrections that it didn’t used to pop up with.

I am writing again. 

And I hope it stays with me like it has for the last 3 to 4 years. 

But neither do I want to force it.

I wonder what you like to read?

I know what I like to.  I like to read about the normal everyday things other people do; seems like a person can learn so much from little things, and the normalcy of someone else’s life always does something to ground a person. 

At least if that person is normal, which I’m not sure if I am or not.

I’m pretty much out of cattle stories; just yesterday ole Katie, the beloved feed truck left for good.

And I have only 10 to 15 posts and fence rails to take down out in the old corral and then there will be no trace left of those years and the several thousand head of calves that moved through the place.

Other than abundant green kosha weeds, that is.

I have a few electrical stories.

And there are a few things I’d like to write about business values.

But, other than that, I guess you may just read about our normal daily routines.

I’m looking forward to this.
