Waching daily Dec 5 2018

Hi I'm Mike.

Priorities are something that we deal with everyday here on the ranch.

Each morning we have to decide what needs done now and what can wait.

Its those decisions, including a huge one that we made this winter, that dictate the

direction, of Our Wyoming Life.

Welcome back to our Wyoming life.

Thank you for continuing along with us as we explore the ranch life and escape the ordinary.

If you are new here, thank you for taking a few minutes from your day to join all of

us and becoming a part of the ranch.

Tuesday means its time for the project list.

This board behind me is a constant reminder of what needs done around the place, some

projects are time sensitive and some aren't.

Each project on the board needs done but some need done sooner that others.

Today we are going to be tackling a couple important ones that come down to food and

nutrition for the animals and we are going to take a look at a job that I am dropping

completely, retiring from if you will.

I'll tell you all about it as we go, but the first thing we are going to knock of the

list today is dealing with the pigs.

They need more food, they have about 50 lbs left and when we have only 50 lbs of pig food,

we are out of pig food.

So a quick trip to town in is in order to pick up more, first we need fuel.

When we came to the ranch, we weren't sure if it was forever or only temporary and when

coming here I decided to hedge our bets and start another business that focused on creative

services for businesses.

I started out doing voice work, working on radio commercials for businesses across the

US.

From a car dealer in Wichita to cruise ship on board announcements.

This was essential at the time, to help us financially, ranching didn't pay much, especially

for a glorified ranch hand, and doing those voice overs quickly grew into building and

maintaining websites for local businesses as well.

I guess at that time, I was still holding on to a former life in the corporate world,

much different than life as seen around here now, although I did deal with a few pigs in

the corporate world.

Cleaning up messes, disposing of the evidence and fixing problems.

I am not sure that anything I did in my former life prepared me for dealing with the 4 legged

variety, the amount they eat, the destruction they can cause.

Pigs are like having a room full of 4 year olds, which you leave alone for hours on end

and just hope that nothing gets broken.

You can hope, but everytime I check them, I find something they are doing that they

shouldn't be.

Today it is their feeders.

Their feeders are normally screwed to the wall, but they have figured out how to tear

them off.

This morning we are going to reattach them again.

This time with lag bolts that hopefully will keep them from coming off again.

Although I don't hold out too much hope.

But this is a priority, without feeders the pigs cant eat, its that simple.

So it needs to be done.

Anyway, back to my retirement….

Doing the voice over work and website design and maintenance, was one way to hold onto

my previous way of thinking, but I can say that over the years it has really started

to get old.

Deadlines, set in place by someone else, have really become something that I cant stand.

You need to have this done today was the one I probably heard the most, but hey I have

other things to get done today.

I have animals that need fed, waters that need filled, fences that need fixed, whatever

it may be.

This is something that my clients didn't get, or maybe it was just that my priorities

were changing.

I was shifting out of that corporate way of thinking and more into a ranch style of thinking,

where you start to care about those things that are in your control and things that you

see a direct result from.

See, pigs are fed, and they are happy and most importantly, quiet.

But none the less, things went on like that for years.

Building websites, doing voice work and keeping clients happy.

Along the way, I thought more about keeping myself and my family happy.

And I continued to think about it more and more, that along with how important the ranch

is, for our future, and the cows.

The cows are fed, but they need cake.

Cake is a nutritional supplement the cows get, packed full of vitamins and minerals,

this stuff is like a treat for them.

They love it, they will follow you around like a puppy dog for it.

They will also almost trample you to get it.

That's why we built this trailer cake feeder last year.

A way to feed the cows cake from the cake feeder, which we used to have in the back

of the gator, but now on the trailer, it is not taking up the whole bed of the gator and

even though a bit more of a pain to hook up and use, it does save time and effort.

Today we are using it for the first time this winter, luckily everything still works, the

battery is charged and we are ready to go.

Each cow gets about 2 lbs of cake, although I cant really control how much each eats,

we are going to put out 300lbs of cake for them to gobble up as fast as they can.

Then its out to the cows, where an auger inside the feeder will push the cake out and down

a chute to the ground where they came come and get the nutrition they need and a change

from just hay.

I needed to make a change too.

So it was this winter that Erin and I decided to drop a portion of our business.

Take a look at our priorities and see where our time was best spent.

With that thought in mind we decided to drop the website and maintenance from our lives.

It doesn't seem like much, but it frees up Erin and I to concentrate on what we have

decided is a better direction to take our experience and lives.

The ranch has become the number one priority for both of us but through YouTube and social

media we have found a voice.

A chance to bring people closer to agriculture, people from all over the world and that is

where we are going to concentrate our secondary efforts.

It does hit the pocketbook a bit, and losing those clients that I have worked with for

years is a bit hard and I'm sure there might even be some hard feelings.

Priorities though, sometimes mean doing what is best for you and what is best for those

around you.

We hope that by moving farther in this direction we can continue to help others and in more

ways than ever before.

So that's my story for today, I'm retiring the website business.

Except for ourwyominglife.com of course, that one is still going strong.

Thanks for giving me a chance to share my story today, its one that has been hanging

on my mind for a few months, it wasn't an easy decision to make.

I had a lot of people that counted on me to help their businesses and help them grow,

but now they are in someone elses hands, and mine are put to work on another project.

I announced this decision to some of our subscribers in the herd report yesterday, the best response

I got was from Mark, who said Congratulations on your retirement, now get back to work.

Aint that the truth.

That's two things off the project list, fix the pigs feeders, hopefully for good,

and get the cake trailer up and running.

And one more thing that I can take off my personal project list forever.

I guess I have learned that you have to prioritize you own life too.

Figure out what it is that makes you happy, that supports your family and go for it.

It might be building websites, but one thing I know, is that as life goes on, things change

and what may have been the most important thing to you a few years ago, is now slowing

you down from where you really want to be and what you want to do.

More on the way from the ranch, we finally got a date for pregchecking and its coming

up really soon and we are going to find out who is pregnant and who isn't out here and

Erin has a new video coming out on Thursday, where she is going to be getting into the

holiday spirit.

If you are looking for Christmas gifts for that our Wyoming life fan in your life, go

and check out our website, ourwyominglife.com for brand new gear, drinkware, hats and more.

Until I see you again, have a great week and thanks for joining us in our Wyoming life.

Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, Las Vegas, NV - Duration: 6:46.

I have proof that I went hiking

We're at Sloan Canyon conservation area just south of Las Vegas and Henderson

Nevada more of us take off on the anthem East trail and the first half mile is a

ADA accessible

so as we said for south of Vegas and you can see the strip up there and all the

houses between here and there

and in the distance the sounds of welcome to the jungle

there's also a

ballpark down this is the end of our payment. which way

do we go Matt?

we're gonna go that way follow those people

this is something we do not have when we were hiking in Missouri do not enter

desert wash area when water is flowing or during threat of storms you can

definitely tell this is a wash area and this and I are coming down that hill

even yeah you could just tell that that was what it was and was definitely

looking different than any of the trails we followed the trail through this wash

for a little bit longer but then realized that we were in the wrong place

and what we were really looking for was petroglyphs so we're now at the

petroglyphs Canyon and we're gonna do this hike over here to the petroglyph

gallery here you have to do some rock scrambling and it's pretty tall rock

scrambling so we're going to take the Rangers advice and go around the other

way to compare from the map we are here and

before we were clear up here the anthem hills trailhead. and we hiked

yeah

we're following the 100 trail 100 through a wash

so we're now headed into

the wilderness and the Ranger was telling us that dogs aren't allowed on

this part of the trail because they're a big horned sheep

they're studying them and the dogs tend to...well mess it up

100 to the left 200 to the right the rock scrambling is on 100 so we're gonna

take 200 back on 100 now we've been looking for a petroglyph gallery and

there isn't any big sign so we've just been looking for petroglyphs we think we

found some these petroglyphs are the centerpiece of Sloan Canyon National

Conservation Area according to the website archaeologists believe that the

more than 300 rock art panels with 1,700 individual designs were created during

the North American Mezo Indian period which lasts from around 8,000 to 1000 BC

we noticed that it was getting closer to sunset and we had decided to start to

head back as one of the park employees headed towards us on the trail we were

happy that he did he pointed out some of the features in the canyon that we had

missed so those are called Petra forms Petra forms ok and they represent the

desert tortoise here in the Sloan Canyon they were made by then native

tribes that have lived or past year throughout a couple hundred thousands of

years really cool not only did he point out the Petra forms and this calendar he

convinced us that we can finish the loop and that the rock scrambling wasn't

that bad. It's just really beautiful out here. So you see where those people are

right up there that's some uh rock scrambling to get up while to get down

there they had to get up we came down to complete the loop um

Matt had a fun incident I have proof that I went hiking he'll be all right we

got some alcohol coming his way both drinkable and rubbing

we're we're

wrapping up our day here at Sloane Canyon conservation area this morning

right after we got off the plane we took off and came out here and went to the

anthem east trail which actually is right next to a sort of Little League

ballpark yeah we thought we're in the wrong place at first but but the

ballpark kind of borders against the conservation area right so that was an

interesting little trail but we actually ended up kind of turning around and

coming back because it felt kind of like urban hiking so then we got maybe three

miles or so there then we came down to the petroglyph canyon and we saw some

really awesome petroglyphs which by this point the video you've probably already

seen those but it's really good hike one word to the wise when you're rock

scrambling make sure you have good grip until then take care thanks for watching

guys

you

Are You a Mentally Strong Person? - Duration: 5:10.

Are You a Mentally Strong Person?

People with strong mentality have traits that make them different.

Not all people are strong enough to handle mental breakdown, but these strong people

can handle them because they are prepared for that.

If you want to know the traits of people with strong mentality, we have 13 behaviors that

indicate just that.

What you can do with this information is, if you know someone like them, you can hang

out with him or her and learn how they do it.

So in this video, I'm going to share with you some behaviors that reveal someone is

mentally strong.

But before that, please subscribe, click the bell and watch this video until the end to

know the complete information.

Here's the 13 Behaviors That Reveal Someone Is Mentally Strong.

#1 - Balancing emotion with logic.

The first thing that you should note is the ability to balance their logic with emotion.

They know that emotion can affect the way they think.

They are also aware that they should trust their guts in certain situation, enabling

them to choose wise decision in difficult times.

#2 - Choosing productive behavior.

It is extremely easy to be involved in random activity that has no benefit at all.

Someone with strong mentality will not sway easily to join unnecessary activity.

They are picky, and they usually miss some friends because of this.

However, it turns out to be a great habit because they can be mentally strong as they

are more independent.

#3 - You are confident.

Mentally strong people are pretty confident as they know what they are doing.

They also know what the consequence, and they are willing to accept that.

#4 - They are adaptive.

Mentally strong people also can adapt well in different situation.

They have a really good heart which allow them to be able to handle things even in difficult

situation with no family or friend.

Eventually they can make new friends to live.

#5 - They face their fears.

Strong people also have the capability and the willingness to fight against their fear.

We all have one fear towards something, and it is not something that should be avoided.

Mentally strong people know this, and that's why they can face their fears

#6 - They learn from mistakes.

Though it seems simplistic and most people can do that, it is not that easy.

Some people fall in the same hole twice, three times, or even multiple times.

It really needs a special effort to be able to learn from mistakes.

#7 - Self acceptance and self improvement.

The next thing that you probably don't see is the ability to accept oneself while improving

it.

Some people cannot understand where they fall short and know how to improve their problems.

#8 - They celebrate other's success.

Another aspect of mentally strong people is to stand for other people's success.

Common people will be jealous and they cannot do anything but to keep finding a way to tackle

down.

#9 - They believe in their values.

Strong people have beliefs, and they are tied to their opinion.

So you can't just make them forget to their ideas and ideology, especially in a meeting,

because they are truly a firmer believer.

#10 - They prefer honing their skills.

Instead of showing off their skills, they prefer to sharpen their skills.

They know they need more ability to perform better.

They will do that for the sake of themselves.

They also don't want to make other regret, and that's why they are motivated to improve

their skills.

#11 - They live a real life.

Another possibility that makes a great difference is that they don't have a fake life.

They don't live for others, and that's why they do things for themselves.

#12 - Hardship is opportunity.

They see things differently from other people, and one of them is hardship.

While people think that hardship is the sign of bad luck, because you are required to do

more effort, people with strong heart think it as an opportunity to upgrade.

After all, only by overcoming countless hardship, people will grow bigger and bigger.

#13 - They think self-worth differently.

Another thing that they see differently is all about self-worth.

They feel good about themselves and it is not all about the achievement that they can

get.

No matter how bad or good it is, they don't think it matters too much compared to themselves.

Well, those are the 13 behaviors that reveal someone is mentally strong.

So, really cool information isn't it?
