My pastor called last week saying that his John Deere would not start so went over to his place and was told that his 15 year old daughter was mowing and had ran out of gas.He had put gas in and tried to start it ,no luck so tried starter fluid ,no luck.I checked the carb,had gas there checked for spark that was ok so I loaded it up and brought it home.I think I have found the problem.
What do you think?

Be careful Phil,the desert is addicting.

I don't know, I love high humidity that drains the life out of you in the middle of September. |

This will be the last for silver post.
On the snowbird trip last winter we stopped off in Meadview AZ at the start of the trip and I left a box of antlers for my nephew who is starting to make knifes,wanting to help him out.
We stopped back on the way home and he gave me this knife set,said it was for birthdays missed and teaching him a trade and encouraging his art work.
I was impressed and appreciative of his work.

Last winter the wife and I did the snowbird thing for the first time and ended up in Casa Grande between Phoenix and Tucson at a street fair.Seems funny but the best meal there was a piece of meat from Montana,we talked to the owner and found she had people just 30mi from where we live.Found a Navaho vender that had a buckle I could not wive without. He was from Cameron,near the Grand Canyon.
Hard to take silver photos,lots of reflections.

How wild was I?Well I lost my dad at 4 yrs old,left home at 13,ran with some real rough stock,breeds,Mexicans,Indians and some whites.We cut quite a path,then I met 95lbs of fluff that turned my world around.I found her barefoot and skinny on the rez.Now you can think she is blood but no,not even a breed.The daughter in law get's ticked when I call the wife squaw but oh well.
There could be stories of those times but some are still alive and some could have guns. |

And next my favorite ring,it was given to me by a Navaho silversmith.Two years later I could not ware it because of my work so put it in a box.
I put it in a box and forgot about it until a year after I retired then the memories came back.
Lets go back to the start.I am 16/17yrs old I have a friend Kee Yazzie a Navaho bronc rider and wild as I.He asked me to come and meet his folks in AZ so heading west from Farmington NM to Shiprock NM the town and rock and that is one big rock.In the evening sun it looks like a three masted ship sailing away.
The Navaho call it Tse'Bit'Ai rock with wings.
Shiprock is the core of a volcano,erosion has taken away all but the core.The wings are the dikes where the lava flowed to the core.
Shiprock is 1800ft high standing at 5,500ft ele.
We go on northwest to AZ and Teec Nos Pos,always liked the name of this place.There was little there but a trading post and some hogans.Kee's folks lived in a hogan,had a few sheep and his dad did silver work.They were real nice people.Kee's dad gave me the ring and we had lunch with them before we left.Do I remember what we ate?Yes and I tell my kids that I have eaten in the best resturants in the west and have broke bread with the poorest people on earth this was them.We had some over the hill mutton soup with a few chili's in it some grey biscuit's and boiled coffee,but they gave out of there little and was a great meal.
So the ring is 53 yrs old and I ware it every day.The ring was in a box for 50+ years but now it will shine as long as I do.

This is a ring that I got on the Hualapai Res down near Lake Mead on the Colorado about 4yrs ago for my birthday.The wife let me pick what I wanted.I think it goes well with the watch wings I bought last year by cell phone,I was in WYO near Flaming Gorge driving,when I got a call from my SIL in southwest CO at a town called Cortez.She was in a pawn shop and said had the perfect ones for me.Had to take her word for it as I was running out of cell service.She sent them a week later.I think she did alright.
