A distressing Call Mar 12, 2010 8:44 pm Mood: beautiful, 16 Views Well one of Chances friends called this afternoon he was working for REDS TOWING in Missoula Montana got hired on Monday and started Tuesday morning, went a few tows and then a recovery with Nick one of his trainers up to St.E is what they call it well after being there for two hours they finally got the trucks side lifts out of the mud I guess the driver doesnt check the fluid box, so he got a ride to town to get 5 gals of hyro fluid then he said you need to take that fitting off to get rid of the air in your lines and then everything worked can you imagine that, well when they took off the tire chains he was pulling his set up along the crane truck and he took a header into the ditch off the side of the road and he put his arm out to catch himself and jamed his shoulder he worked with it all week not complaining to anyone about it and then this morning they went to pull the tires off one of the other trucks and the inner tire was stuck on the wheel posts so Jason gave it a try then Ben and then him he got it loose and went to pull on the side of the tire and when he did Something poped in his shoulder he said Im done and stood off to the side with his arm hanging to the side.............. Then the boss gave it a try and he finally got it off, then he told the boss he pulled something in his shoulder doing that tire he got a butt chewing for it and the gal in the office said go home and come back on monday, she didnt give a rats ass about him at all, so he went to the hospital cause his shoulder has killing him the Doc told him no broken bones which is a good thing, But you might have torn your Rotator Cuff in your shoulder so your off work until seen by a ortho Doc, but the Doc took him off work for the next 7 work days and was ordered not to use that arm for nothing, I guess he cant , move it hardly at all, so he took the order back to REDS TOWING and the gal in the office said, YOU ARE FIRED and we are going to fight this, she said Ben and Jason ran in here and told me that you never laid your hands on that tire, she looked away from him when she said that to him, breakung eye contact, He said, Fine the next person you hear from will be my Lawyer, and out he walked she was saying to him you cant get a Lawyer on this matter, he got in his truck and drove off, then he called Ben and said, I just lost my job, Ben said, I think so, then he told Ben what she had said, to him and Ben said, I didnt tell her that and niether did Jason, he said, I know that she lied to me in the office, when she broke eye contact, when someone is lieing to you they cant look you in the eye, they will always look away and look down to their left and thats what she had done.................. Ben said when you Lawyer asks me what happened, Im telling him the truth, Im not purjrying myself for this company, thats a 25,000 dollar fine and 5 years in prison and thats if the judge is in a good mood it can be even worse than that and today was Jasons last day so he could care less about REDS TOWING hes going to tell the Lawyer the same thing I will, so she will be kissing the Lawyers ass and his when the courts systems are done with her One you can never fire anyone that has been taken off work by a Doctor and Two She flat out lied to him, and Three refuse to fill out the accident fourm for the Insurance, But she works for her Father RED so hes going to get a big Suprise from the Lawyer when they have to go to court, cause he knows nothing about this as of yet........................ Chan said keep in contact with him and let us know whats going on and you take care of that shoulder, I will thanks brother for listening, take care we all love ya, he hung up and told Kathy what had happened to him, I over heard everything Chan was upset for him I guess he tore the one in his right shoulder back in 97 when he broke his couller bone and tore that rotator cuff, Chan said, I just wanted to cry for him, Ive never seen a man in so much pain like that before its worse than getting shot, cause the pain just doesnt go away it feels like acid burning inside and wont go away, it just gets worse with each heart beat, being shot it just goes numb after awhile, after he had surgry on the right side he couldnt even throw a ball 5 feet his shoulder just wouldnt work right, and even now he might get the ball 50 feet on a good day but just once, and he was an outfielder and could throw a ball over 300ft and it hurt when the other guy caught it hes a side thrower but not now, 50 foot is it.............. When I heard this, I was upset, you cant fire a man for doing his job and when a Doctor takes you off work, I dont feel for this woman at all, she is going to get what is comeing to her, if she is that STUPID, and its her Father that is going to get nailed on this matter its going to be his money going out the door when the courts settle with him on his shoulder, then the shit will hit the fan the IRS will be called in for a 13 year back invetigation to find out if this has happened before to another employee and they will lock the doors until the investagation is over and that could be years they dont mess around so REDS TOWING will be out of business so everyone will loose their jobs all because of her being STUPID..................... That would be like if we let Terry go when he broke his arm, when he was working on the cabin, thats just not done, he is still here Randys got him doing things he can do with one arm and its very light duty, Terry may only be a hand on the Ranch but we take care of our own and he is still a apart of this ranch and always will be as long as he wants to stay, we asked him what else he would like to do in his life, he said, well I would like to go to college and learn about animal husbandry on the horses, that peaked Randys intrest, so he was finding about it and which colleges in the area put it out, so Randy sat him down and said, portland state puts on the course and its a two year course, Terry said, I guess I should fill out for student loans, Randy said NO I dont think so, what we will do is give you a grant for your schooling, that will cover your room and board and all your classes and a few extras here and there, BUT what I will require from you is to come home on the weekends and show us your progress and on the holidays come home, Terry just sat there and looked at both of us, I said Terry you are part of this ranch this is your home......................... you will be our first that we are sending to college, so when you are done you can help with the breeding of the horses on both ranches, so you will be working wioth the Cowboys in Idaho and Chan and Jim here, they all will teach you more than college will ever teach you, but you will also have the smarts to help on some of their problems, So Im to come home each weekend and on Holidays, I said yes, if you have lots of home work and cant on a weekend just call home and let us know what you are doing, Randy said No Parting with the other students, your there to get an Education, I want a copy of your Degree hanging right over here on this wall, you are going to be the first that we will do this for, and then you will work for us at a much better wage cause you wont just be a hand anymore, He stood up and said, I will do both of you proud, I said, I know you will, cause Chan sees alot of potienail in you and hes not often wrong, so your also doing this for him, he has taken you under his wing and he doesnt do that often but he chose you, your kind of the son he didnt get to raise, that really made him smile, I think the world of him, hes kind of like a dad to me................ Then he said I didnt have one when I was growing up, he died before I was born, Mom did what she could before she passed away a few years ago, I said your all alone, theres no one, he dipped his head down and said no one just me, well now you have a family that cares for you and yes Chan has taken you as his, thats why he looks out for you, Than Terry said, hes always on me for doing to much and not takeing it easy, I just want to make him proud of what I can do, I said, he is proud of you, thats why hes on you all the time hes just making sure that you are taken care of, When your broke your arm and you cryed on his shoulder all the way to the med center he took care of you and even in the Hospital he was right there for you, he didnt leave your side, and then he brought you home and your still here, cause he doesnt throw anyone away like trash thats not his way, and now you are his, hes the one that talked to us first about your schooling he said he would pay for it, we said, let the ranch do that you can take care of the little stuff, like clothes and what ever so he agreed to that, Terry said it was his Idea to send me to school , well you talked to Jim about it and he told Chan and Chan talked to us......................... So everyone knows about it, not everyone, Jim is your foreman and hes watching out for you too, he sees alot in you too, So how about it, are you going to make Chan and us proud of you, He stuck out his other hand and said, yes sir and Maam I will do my best, then there was a honking outside so we all went to the door and on the back of the flat bed was a brand new F250 Lariat 4X4 Dark Red Matalic Biege on the bottom, Sammy was backing it off the trailer for Chan, then she pulled it up in front of us, then she got out, and tossed the keys to chan, he walked up and said so son are you going to make me proud and go to college, and get that degree so you can help me with the horses, he had a Smile on his face and said Yes Sir I am, well than good, so this will help you get home on the weekends and he handed him the Keys to that brand new truck, the tears just shot right out of Terrys eyes and then he turned around and gave Chan a big Hug, Thanks Dad, Im sorry for saying that, Its alright Son you can call me dad its alright..................... I just hung onto Randy, we was watching something macial right in front of us, Terry hasnt ever had a dad and now he has one, Chan has just adopted him as his own, then they walked off together over by the shoreline Chan was satnding behind him and he pulled out hiw wallet and gave him two credit cards and we heard dont get carried away and bring the reciepts home and give them to Kathy and yes you can call her Mom if you wish she knows all bout this, she picked out your truck, and we will go to town and get the extras for it and get them put on, then Bree came around the corner Nice truck whos is it, she asked us, we pointed to Terry she said, it must be nice for him to finally have a dad now, Chan will take good care of him just like he is his, then she walked over to them, she said hey terr, he looked over his shoulder, Hi bree, did you tell him yet, Chan said what about you two seeing each other, both of them looked at him, how did you know, Chan said, little girl nothing goes on here with out me knowing about it, I know all and see all, you just be good to him, yes I will she said........................ So you going to college, he said yes, and dad just got me this truck so I can come home every weekend, she said well you had better, cause I will be waiting until you do, so they walked over to the truck and he opened the door and she got in and then him, hes learning already well hes watched us enough, Sammy came over and stood in front of Chan so he put his arms over her shoulders and pulled her against his chest, she wrapped her arms around his arms and just stood there with him, I looked over at them, I said to Randy I think hes adopted another Randy said Sammy thinks the world of him, he was gone for so long and now she is alot of older and she works with him on the horses he is still teaching her, something her dad dint have time to do, thats why she is liveing over here instead of Idaho, cause he opened his other wing and has taken her also, and Kathy knows all about it, shes the daughter he never had either, beised s she is teaching Kathy all about the horses, Than Chan said meet us down below, so Bree started the truck and they went out the gate to the south end..................... Chan and Sammy got in his truck and followed them down to the south end to pick up Kathy or to see if she wants to go with them all, and she did, so they all drove to Lincolncity to get the extras for the new Ford, I called them and asked them to pick up some legs for dinner and fresh corn so Kathy said they would, me and Randy went in for a little time together if you know what I mean since everyone is gone we can make all the noise we want and there is going to be pleanty Randy is a screamer........... 1 comment

were out tooling around Mar 7, 2010 1:46 pm Mood: adventurous, 80 Views Well this morning the guys are takeing the day off so we are out here on the SunDancers when we got down here Wills boat was gone, sold it to a man in California and took a big loss on it, no one down here wanted it cause he was asking way to much for it, so he ran into a man over in one of the bars that was up here and he sold it for 200,000 less than he payed for it, I guess the man said hey its a used boat, when you bought it and drove it all the way down here from portland it became a used boat, so I dont care what you payed for it this is what Im offering, he had no choice cause no one else was even looking at it, thats what the owner of the docks said, than the guy drove it out of here last week............ he was rreally happy he told the owner its not everyday that you can buy a Sundancer for less than 100,000 and they both laughed cause he took advantage of him, we laughed when we heard about it, then we fueled up the boats and out in the ocean we went, Chan has got the hang of his boat now and he did something to it, cause we can hardly keep up with him cruseing out here its nice when you come out about 5 miles out the water is pretty calm the guys are cruseing right now about 75 knotts Im suprised at how smooth this boat is on the water,its only 61 foot long and the diesels are pretty quite for 1054 horses, CW and Chance said that they would like a ride up to portland so they can buy the Sundancer also so they will have boats out here also besides Idaho, so thats where we are headed right now, should be comeing to the columbia anytime we see the coast guard out here doing practice runs through the big waves, their waveing at us as we are going by them, we know the captains of each of the boats........................... OK heres the inlet and the guys are charging in with their boats its not to bad as you would think with the waves that meet the river plus we are much bigger than the coast guard boats almost twice their size, Randy is following Chan hang on hes yelling cause the waves are getting a little bigger he hear from Chan on his boat, Kathy is grabbing onto the rails so shes not tossed around, there were through it, Chance is sitting in the back with Susan shes saying hes NUTS look at him, CW and Jenny and rideing with him and Kathy and away he goes he picked up alot of speed real quick so Randy is doing the same then they both switched on the radar scanners cause I see them spinning around, I just looked over and we are cruseing at 92 knotts up the river going by other speed boats like their sitting still, one is raceing with Chan and hes leaveing him way behind, and now Randy is passing him, the look on his face I wish I had a camera hes got this big engine sitting up on the back of his boat and he just got passed by to SunDancers with Diesels, Chance said this is going to be great, even speeders cant keep up with this boat..................... Now where slowing down cause of the curves up ahead, they have slowed down to almost 45 knotts and here we go around the first one, this boat is like a giant Caddy the way it handles, I think Chance and Susan are realy going to like this boat when they get theirs, probally sell their Chaporal and have another Sundancer put out in Idaho, cause we are, The Chaporal doesnt even come close to this Sundancer, dont get me wrong, its good for what its got, but this boat hands down puts it to shame, its 25 foot longer and handles so much better plus we can sleep 8 on this boat compared to 5 on the other and its got three times the power than the chaporal, but anyways we just went around the second corner and now its back to the straights again, the guys are keeping it down to 60 knotts, we are almost side by side now and we are getting alot of looks from other boaters out here on the water, its not very often you see one of these here on the water but Two of them.................... Well we got another 25 miles to go before we get there, Randy is talking to the owner where we are going and he just got two more in yesturday so the guys can pick from those two , Randy just put a deposit on them so they wont be gone before we get there, cause other people are looking at them, so they were just told they both are sold, so they have to leave them and get back on the docks, not many people can just shell out 400,000 for a boat, Randy says its chump change, it is for him, Chance and CW are talking back to each other on which colors they want, I guess one is emerald Green and the other is a Bright Silver, I guess they just decided, CW and Jenny will take the Emerald and Chance and Susan will take the Silver Satin, that was fast, so Randy just called the owner back and gave them the names on the two boats so he can start the paper work before we get there, it just saves time and they will deliver the boat trailers to the ranch for them next week, 20 more to go, everyone is getting ecited......................... Jenny asked so what all comes with the boats I said everything she said everything I mean everything, its already on board of the boats, they will top off your fuel and water before we leave, thats 380 gals of Diesel and 150 gals of water and its put through a filteration system so its not bad tasteing water and the fuel is a tad better than what you get at the pumps cause its got the additive in it already, so the Diesels just purr, I said we drove clear out to Newport and then back up here and we still have over 3/4 of a tank and thats what 350 miles round trip thats not bad and it gets better as they get broke in, thats the way the diesels are so buy this time next year, they should be doing probally 25 miles to the gallon atleast cause right now their about 19 miles a gal, Chans is probally doing better than ours cause hes already done something to his he knows diesels and what to put on them, 10 more miles to go, now we are seeing alot more boats and the guys have slowed it down a tad now were at 50 Knotts, and Randy is following Chan.................. I took Susan downstairs and Kathy took Jenny and we both showed them what you all get with their new boats we was talking back and forth on the cell phones their on speakers so we can hear each other, and its not loud down here with the guys cruseing down the river, theres just a little bit of Humm to the diesels, then they said hang on we are slowing down its not like they put a brake on the boats but you could feel the differance as they slowed then we went back up on top, oh lots of boaters out here on the water thats why they slowed way down, were almost there about 3 more miles we can barley see the mans flag on the pole hes right across from the airport, now we have slowed way down to 20 knotts where did all these little boats come from we are sure getting the looks, wait until we leave there will be 4 of us in 61ft SunDancers in 4 different colors, that will grab alot of heads now the guys have turned into the slip and there they are two brand new SunDancers just waiting the fuel boat just got done fueling them up so he will wait for us to turn around and dock next to them we just tossed the bouies over the sides so we will stop here in a minute.......................... Around we go, Hang on, there we are here that didnt take to long so I better get off here got some work to do helping the others and getting refuled so Ill get back on later Im already getting looks yes us gals are in our bikinis, yes its rather warm out here today might get a little sun its cool in the shade so im out of here bye Guys................ 1 comment

It was about two hours and we didnt hear anything down there so we went looking and sure enough they was all four of them passed out in the leather chairs they was beat, I called over to Susan and Jennys and they came and got their husbands and took them home, we had these two to deal with, Randy is like trying to move a mountain after he sits down after dinner and so is Chan so Kathy sais just give chan about 45 minutes and he will be back up hes got to recharge, then he will want desert and sure enough he opens his eyes and stands up and says I smell peach pie, so in the kitchen he goes and we watched him he found it in the oven and pulled it out, and then went to cutting it in half and then got out the icecream he put the pie in a big bowl and 10 scopes of iceceram on the sides of the bowl and then comes over with two spoons for him and her and he feeds Kathy icecream and peach pie...................... Randy looks over at him and says PIE, hey bud you snoze you lose this is ours talk about a pittiful look on a mans face I came out and sat on his lap with the other half and icecream in our bowl and I went to feeding him icecream and peach pie, that brought a smile to his face, he was just like a little kid, both of them were, see I got pie too, which one, he looked up at me and said theres more than one, I said of course I made some for tomorrow also, your favorite dutch apple, their in the cooler cooling off and no you can not have any your haveing peach pie tonite Chans favorite and yes he is sharing his pie with you, Randy looked at him and said you was teasing again wasnt you, he looked up with icecream on his lips and said mwa as in MEEEE, would I ever tease you, they looked at each other and went to laughing, its like haveing to grown kids in the cabin, and Chan does it he just brings out the laughter from everyone on just about anything, Randy said honey you should have been there at the south end, I said what happened.............. CW it was so funny he was jabering away and wasnt watching what he was doing and smacked his thumb with Chans frameing hammer he made this face and then didnt say anything just put his thumb in his mouth, like thats going to make it better, Chan was takeing a sip of his coffee and he shot it out of his nose cause he saw CW do it and it was funny the noises he was making had everyone laughing at him, remember the Movie the Money pit with Tom Hanks in it and when he hit his thumb with the hammer, CW made the same noises it was so funny, you had to be there, Chan was giggleing and laughing and both of us just looked at each other and shook our heads, I picked up the phone and called over to CWs cabin how is his thumb, Jenny said he doesnt have his thumb nail anymore, he said he lost it, I said lost his thumb nail, Chans eyes got really big and he went to digging in his back pocket and pulled out something kind of dirty here it is, Kathy just about turned light green right there, as he had CWs finger nail in the palm of his hand........................... I went over and picked it up out of his hand, he had the look on his face like he did something really important, then Randy said well tahn what do I have in my back pocket, Chan said the chew I tossed out of the cabin I had it in my mouth, Randys eyes were really big, so it aint nothing important naw Clancie can dig it out of your pocket later and toss it away, I said you want me to do what, and they both started laughing, Kathy said they are teaseing you, and they went to laughing and then the giggles started Chan has taught my husband how to tease me and get away with it, then Kathy went to the kitchen with an empty bowl I followed her with our, I said can you believe them two, teaseing me like they did, I said your Chan is a bad influance on my husband, and then she laughed................. She said you knew what you was getting into when you hired him, you wanted someone that could run your ranch and do it well and bring laughter and giggles back into all of your lives plus a whole lot of Love, well he has been doing that,I said yes Randy hasnt been this happy in a long time and Chan has done that to him I guess I can put up with the teaseing, just as long as it doesnt get out of hand, then she said what are you going to do ground him and keep them away from each other like little boys, I said now thats a thought, then Kathy told me I said something like that to him just once, he looked at me and said so you think your my mother now do you, and over his knee I went, after I was begging him to stop he stood me back up and said I guess when you start acting like a lady Ill treat you like one................ My butt was on fire for almost two hours, then I saw what he used on me, it was the Bible my Bible, I couldnt believe he used a Bible on me, I said you used a Bible to spank me, he said yes I did, why a Bible, could have been my belt it was the first thing I grabbed, here lets start over and off came his belt, I backed up against the wall so he couldnt grab onto me and start all over again, I didnt say anything about him useing the Bible to anyone cause I didnt want that belt of his, I asked her he would have used the belt on your butt, for just acting like his mother, she said yes, I guess thats how she got her point across to him so he was going to show me how its done if I was going to act like his mother, never done it since or will ever think about it, I think the hand of God was in his as I got spanked by that Bible, cause it sure did sting.................... then she asked me Randy ever spank you, yes but only in love, She said well this wasnt in love but he sure would Love to do it again so I behave and keep my bad thoughts to myself, I said but he loves you, SHe said yes he does, but not when I act like his mother, here give it a try and see what happens, I backed up against the wall and said no way the last time he spanked me was on my birthday back in Rapidcity he got me 26 times with an open hand I could hardly walk for almost three days, he busted me than cause Is aid you wasnt big enough, I didnt make the door, and he had me, up and on his shoulders I flew, then he sat down twirled me around and on across his lap I was I had tight Wranglers on and that made it even better for him, I spit out my chaw on the first whack and I had 25 more comeing, I said Im almost 50 now I think I would pass out, so no Im not saying anything that will get my butt busted by that man, plus my husband would probally help him, and thats a thought I dont even want to think about............................. So if a little teasing from those two is what we have to put up with than I can live with it I guess, but his thumb nail, YUCK................... 1 comment

Can I ask why Mar 4, 2010 11:12 pm Mood: cheerful, 114 Views Yesturday and even today we all were over working on his cabin and ours he knows hes not to be lifting anything cause of his shoulder, but do you think that stops him, of coarse not he uses his other arm more, well him and the guys were up on the swimming pool roof and with out thinking he uses his bad shoulder and we all saw the face he made, Randy said are you alright he just stood there, and smiled at him, does it hurt, he just smiled bigger then he went over and climbed down the ladder to the ground and Kathy went running over to him he, puts up one finger and she stops he walks down around the pile of dirt so no one can see him and we all hear, this MORNFUL OH MY GOD, HOLY BA JESUS I THINK I NEED TO CHANGE MY PANTS, than he came back around and was kind of holding his arm he wasnt when he went around the pile, Kathy came to him are you better now, he just knodded his head, then asked for some asprin I got one heck of a headacke so she gave him four of them and some rootbeer to drink, he spun around and he was trying to swallow but the rootbeer foamed up the asprin so fast he couldnt swallow fast enough, now he looks like hes got rabbies and still has his headacke and a foul taste in his mouth................ He just looked at her and didnt say anything but YUCK, and went to trying to spit everything out, Im sorry babe, its alright anyone got any tylonal so Jenny gave him four of those and yes they are coated so in the mouth they went and down with pepsi this time, then we all got a huge BURPPPPPPPPPPP awe thats better, then he went over and sat down Kathy went over and rub on his neck for awhile until the headacke went away, he took her hands and she came around in front of him, he set her on his legs and then whispered something to her, she just hugged onto him and went to kissing his face, must of been something she really liked, then she got up and walked over to the truck and went to makeing him peanut butter and Honey sandwhiches, one of my favorites she made five of them four for him and one for her, then they sat down and went to eatting them, Randy said hey what about us, Kathy said are your legs broke, he said no, do you want them to be, he heard that and climbed down the ladder and went over and made himself a few, I really like her, he didnt ask me to make them he just went over and did it himself than sat down and then gave me one and we ate them............... I asked him are you affraid of her, he said no not really, but I dont want my legs broke either, I said babe she does have a point, his shoulder is a little soar right now, espcailly after grabbing that board that almost hit you, he said what, yes you wasnt paying attention and he grabbed the board so it wouldnt hit you in the back and he didnt think about it just did it, and with the wrong arm, thats why he smiled at everyone and then walked over by the dirt pile for a few moments, Why did he do that, I said cause you would have gotten hurt so he didnt want that so he did what he does, but with the wrong arm, and now he is paying for it, but your not hurt, then he said but he is, I said dont worry about it, he would do it again in a heart beat plus to anyone of you out here, he watches over all of us, even though hes not spose to use that arm, things happen so fast, he didnt have time to think about it, its just natural for him, to help the ones he loves....................... Randy sat there for a moment and just looked at me, then he said he really does doesnt he, I said yes babe he does, when he was hurt didnt he call you brother, Randy smiled and said yes he did, hes never called anyone brother but you, so he must really like you, and didnt you take care of him when he got hurt just like he was your little brother, yes I did and I would do it again, I said well see what he did for you, he just returned it but used the wrong arm, then there was a deep sigh from him, he stood up and went over there to them and squated down and asked how is your shoulder brother, its a little soar but it will mend, then he said I want to thankyou for watching out for me when I didnt see that board comeing at me, hey thats what brothers do we watch each others back, oneday you will return the favor, when im not seeing something comeing at me, then Randy reached forward and gave him a hug and said thanks, I will always be there to watch your back............................ I had to wipe my face from the tear, now this is the man and husband that I fell in Love with, since Chan has been with us he has helped open Randys heart so he can love the rest of the guys out here besides just me, I know he loves his brothers and sisters but thats a different kind of love, now he is really showing that he can love everyone more that just family, I am so proud of him for that, and hes not affraid to give another man a hug now, like he was before, before he would stand there and just shake your hand, but since Chan has come into our lives its hardly ever a hand shake its always a hug now, SO by giveing another man a life takeing care of a Ranch he has also given my husband confidance he didnt have before................ Im so proud of both of them, and so is Kathy, she told me the other day that Chan is so happy to be here, he is dreaming again something he hasnt done for a longtime because he was so worried about taking care of her and finding a job to put a roof over her head, but now he doesnt have to worry about that, their cabin is almost done he has a life time career here at the Ranch besides hes now part owner to this ranch so this is his job, and he has the resposibility to keep everything running just the way he wants it done, and thats the way its done, Ive even heard the other guys say I wish we could run the Idaho Ranch as well as he does this one, his hands respect him and what he does with them, he askes them if theres anything that you see that I dont just do what you have to do to fix it or tell me and together we will fix it, now what other ranch owner tells his hands that, he gives them resposibility cause its their ranch too, in away............ 2 Comments

The Questoins Mar 2, 2010 11:30 pm Mood: beautiful, 111 Views Jenny looked at me she said, so we have three men on this ranch right now that all have the same names, I said well kind of, see your husband is Chance W. Williams and then Susans Husband is Chance R. Williams and Kathys man is Chance C. Williams isnt it con fussing, I said hows that we have a chance a CW and now Chan we could call him by his middle name she said whats that, Cimmaron, her mouth almost dropped open why do you think Chance loved that name cause its one of his best friends, and one of the men he really looks up too, Jenny just sat down and looked at me, so our child is named after him, I said you didnt know that, she said no he just said, I know a name that I really like, and thats Cimmaron, and it could go for a girl or a boy so your daughter is named after someone your husband respects and loves, you should be proud, I hope your daughter loves everyone as much as he does, and with him being here now she will have lots of contact with him and she will also have someone she can look up to as well as everyone does here already................ Jenny said you are right, I have never knew a man like him before my husband is alot like him and so is CW they all grew up in the same small town, they all played on the same football team and neither of them are related at all but its funny they all look alot alike in many ways, but Chan has more love that he puts out than the other two and it took the Army and another country to do that to him, when we was back in school he was always off by himself, sure he had some friends but no one close to him, after practise he was gone, he didnt stick around, I tried many times to get close to him, but he kept everyone at arms length and thats all because of his father, how do you talk to someone that has never been shown love and got much of it, his mother tried but he wasnt a mommys boy he grew up to fast to soon, when his father left he was the man of the house, so he was working on the side to help his mother out with some of the bills, than she meet someone else and they got married than again he was an outsider again..................... thats when his granfather took over and made him the man he is today, so what else do you want to know, Jenny said nothing I understand him better now Emy said so do I, but why did he want to die so bad in the army, he didnt have anyone to love him, can you imagine going through life with out love, its something he wanted and couldnt get, even me Im guilty, I through him away I didnt think he was going to ammount to much, then he was gone, thats when he joined the Army and he was gone for 12 years then they released him out of the millitary and something happened to him over there, now everyone wants to around him, he spent alot of time out on some Ranchs all over the country everywhere except Wyoming all because of what Will did to him, but we wont talk about him anywhere on this ranch in fact I dont ever want to hear that name again, we all agreed, than I asked is everyone clear on the Chances on the ranch, yes we now, then Patty said I love to hear the guys sing the other night, but Chans voice why isnt he a singer he has something in his voice, I said cause thats not him he sings cause he likes too, and yes he does have a voice on him I want to practice with him so we can sing a few together........................ Emy said that would be great, than I went over and was looking down at him, he looked up and I said you know what, he said whats that, I sure do LOVE YOU than I bent down and gave him a kiss, kathy didnt care she knows its a different Love than what she gives him, than Sammy said me too, I love you too uncle chan and she gave him a kiss too, Sammy said there is something so different about you than I remember, she said its in your eyes, their so blue she said its like you have seen things that man shouldnt and did, he said honey when you are fighting for your life and you wake up and see the others running for their lives and you can do something to help them you just do, so thats what I was doing, than I heard something comeing at me, than I went flying through the air, and my body was on fire with pain but it didnt hurt, I just kept doing what I was doing I just kept laying down cover for my men, when they got out of there, I picked myself off the ground and went after them, still doing what I was doing, with each step I didnt feel my legs I saw my blood running out of my wounds but I didnt feel it, than it was like a hand was layed upon me................... and it said in my mind Im here for you my Son, just keep going Im here with you, your job is done, so I kept going as far as I could, I came around this hill and I saw a man with a bright white garment on and it was like he was floating above the ground about two feet, he said come with me so I followed him, he showed me where to go and I did, then he layed his hands upon me, and all my pain was gone he said, I will be with you from now on you have searched for me and now you have found, than I saw this bright light and he wasnt there and I just closed my eyes, I woke up in a germany hospital and for the first time in my life I was at peace, I looked down and still had my legs, but there was no pain at all, then the Doc came over and said sargent someone was looking out for you cause the ammount of blood you lost from your wounds would have killed anyone else............... I just smiled at him, I knew who it was and my heart finally opened up, cause I asked and he was there, and now I walk in his light, he has shown me I could open my heart again and give everyone my love, and he has filled me with his thats why I can give so much of mine, Sammy just looked at him and she said GodBless he said yes he does, then she gave him a really big hug and then wiped her eyes and ran off, I heard Kathy ask him why havent you told me thats what happened to you, he said you never asked, he said I woke up that day honey, my heart was filled with more love than I have ever had in my intire life, I knew from then on I had to share with what was given to me, first my life than his love, I was on a path of destruction I thought since I didnt have anyone to love me why go on, thats why I did what I did in the Army, When no one else wanted to go I did, to me it didnt matter what happened to me, no one would have been there for me, if I had died, thats when he was there, and he opened up my heart and gave me his love, thats when I knew I had to survive, now I had things to do in my life and thats to share his and my love..................... Kathy leaned over and gave him a kiss she said I love you too baby and me too honey I love you more and more each day I have on this earth, and I was given a second chance in life to give out love, I heard him say this and I knew he was touched by the man upstairs and was showen the path of life and now he is here to share what he has with us and all those around us so when he sings I know now where he gets his voice from, and he shares everything he has to all of us, Than I saw Randy and the guys standing there and they heard everything he had said, then I saw them turn and wipe their eyes, they never knew why he was the way he was until now, and now he has been touched and has opened his life of love for all of us, I went to my husband and we held each other and watched the sun setting in the distance, and then randy said look at him, Chan had a glow surrounding him and Kathy, as the sun set, he said, I think the ranch and all of us are blessed since he has come to us, he has brought so much to us already and only more will come as the days go by and then all I could do was smile cause I felt so a peace................ 1 comment

Makeing us gals gasp Mar 2, 2010 10:06 pm Mood: frustrated, 96 Views When the laughing finally stopped, Chan came back in and sat back at the piano and Kathy said sing one from your heart, so he went to playing the keys and I knew this tune kathy adjusted his mic and out came his voice and Jenny and Patty and Emys eyes came wide open, then Sammy and bree came in the cabin he was singing Walking in Memphis he was belching out the words I dont know about everyone was else But I had goose bumps all over my body I could feel everyone tapping on the floor with their feet, I went over and sat at the other mic I went to singing back up for him, but he was punching those keys and that sound in his voice than here comes my part God we sound good together, then it was just him and his voice would draw out the last of the words Everyone could tell he loved singing that song and then it was over, then Kathy whispered something in his ear he said alright, he turned around and went to the synthiseiser and turned it on, I didnt even know how to turn that on and he went to playing some notes and then out came the words, oh my he was singing I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS, the sounds comeing out of him it was like he was singing to the whole ranch cause he was the outside speakers were on....................... But those words comeing out of him, you could tell he wanted to know what love is and he wanted her to show him, I looked over at the other gals and they all had tears in their eyes just listening to him singing that song then he asked would you like to hear a song that he just loves, he said him and his father went through pretty much the same situation Kathy said sure baby, so he turned on the synth and went to playing, I knew this song he was looking at the ceiling as he played the start of the song Its Called, IN THE LIVEING YEARS then he got to the part that talked about his father and we all saw the tears come to his eyes and everyones heart sank right there as we saw the tears roll down his face as he sang this song, then it slowly got done and he just sat there and then he got up and left the room Kathy went running after him, Jenny said, he didnt have to sing that song if it upset him.......................... I said its not that, its just him and his father never really got along his father never once in his life ever told his son that he ever loved him, everyone in the room just sighed, so when he sings that song it just grabs him differently than it does us, then Sammy left the room and out the back door she went, where did she go, probally to help kathy, we all made our way outside and saw him and kathy and Sammy sitting over on the beach chairs faceing the ocean, Then the guys came over is he alright, it was the last song, CW said I dont know why he does that to himself Jenny said you know about that, we kind of grew up in the same town we all knew what he never got at home from his father, his father never came to one football game ever he never watched or did things with his son as far as his father was concerned he was just in the way, then his parents finall got a divorce he would never go and see his father why should he his father didnt want him around so his grandfather rasied him to be the man he is today, I heard his grandfather tell him oneday, it doesnt matter what your father is, he will never see you again in his life time................. So granddad ran him off the ranch he said we dont need you here ever if you ever come back I will turn this boy on you with the shotgun and what he does to you is anyones guess just remember birds have to eat too, so he drove off and they never saw each other again, the only thing he ever gave him was his last name and that was it, and then he changed it when he got older, to his Granddads last name cause he was the one that raised him, so he went to Williams, and its been that way for over 33 years, it made his granddad even more pround of him that was the man that was there for every game and routten him on, he was very pround of his grandson even up to the day he past away, that was a very sad day for him, cause now he was left alone, thats when he joined the army some say he was trying to do things no one else wanted to do, thats how he got all those scares from being shot and blowen up, he just didnt want to live all by himself anymore, than something happened to him, some say its like he was touched by something or someone, and now he lives and lives everyday like its a new life everyday.................... 1 comment

Kathy and myself heard this song comeing out of my studio and we knew whos voice it was, she had never heard him sing this song before and neither had I Randy was sitting in the room wipeing his eyes as Chan sang it while playing my piano thats another thing neither of us knew he played that one also, he was singing into a mic and it was comeing out of all the speakers in the cabin and even playing outside, that where we heard the song , we looked at each other like whats that, then we went inside and there he was, I have heard that song before but I couldnt place it or who sings it, but his voice it sounded so sincer not like the other night when he sang this was much different............ for him to touch randy with a song they way he did or is doing , is something very rare, I have only done it twice when I sing a few songs, but this song his voice sounded so sweet it had an honesty in the words that he sang, then he was done and went to playing on the piano it was just a simple tune wait a minute its that song that girl played on the man from snowy river when she was trying to get the kids attention, I just love that song he was in there just stroking those keys and makeing goose bumps all over me, I saw Kathy rubbing her arms to so shes got them also, where did he learn to play he has done so much with his life since I threw him away so many years ago, not that I wopuld trade what I have now with my husband, but I never thought back then that he would ever turn out to be much of anything, man was I wrong, he joined the Army and look what he has done, a 1St Sargent in the Rangers 9 purple hearts 6 Silver Stars 6 Bronze Stars, he wont talk about where or how he got them CW said sis somethings just dont need to be talked about and if he doesnt want to talk about it dont push it he may just have it locked deep down inside of him and thats where it should stay........... Then he went to playing another very sad song, its Called, ALL BY MYSELF , I had to turn my back to him cause the tears were flowing down my face just like Kathys he was putting everything he had into that song, even Randy was wipeing his eyes at the end of the piano, Then we went into the room and we listened to him play and sing, kathy sat on the bench with him and had her head on his shoulder and she was getting him wet with her tears......... Then he turned around and grabbed my guitar and went to playing another song, he had Randy join him for back up on his mic, this one is much better I just love this song and those two did it really well, its called DUST IN THE WIND it brought back so many memories of the past then he picked up the Violin and played a part then back to the guitar where did he learn how to play everything in this room then he turned up the sound and he sang into the mic and it was going everywhere and out came that gruff voice, PLEASE COME TO BOSTON he sounded even better in here into the mic his voice had such a tone to it as he sung this song he sounded just like Dave Loggins I swear its like he was singing through Chan, I could listen to this song allday long Ill have to get a copy from somewhere, maybe Chan will do one for me cause he sure has the sound and voice for it, We all sat back and just watched him and he would smile at us as he sang the song his words just stroked on our heart strings, Im so glad hes here with us, and yes we all love him so much as much as he loves us, then the song was over he gave kathy a kiss and just sat there and smiled at us................... She went and got him a rootbeer he gulped it down and he forgot the mic was on and out came a growl that made my dogs bark at him and he went to laughing it was funny but thats chan and we forgot that the speakers were on outside so everyone with in ear shot heard what he did in the room so I can imagine the eyes rolled outside but knowing Chance and CW they were probally laughing yep thats Chan, the wives wouldnt think that was funny, but its a man thing cause randy giggled when he did it, me and kathy just rolled our eyes when he did it, then he said can you figure out what this noise is and he stood up and stuck the mic next to his ass and I swear it sounded like there was a wild cat in his pants trying to get out, and it lasted almost a minute, Kathy said Honey , Randy was on the floor laughing and busten a gut it must be a man thing, then he put the mic down and went into the other room and the dogs were following him out the door while he was laughing, me and Kathy looked at each other and just shook our heads, we went into the kitchen to make coffee............... Then Jenny and Emy and Patty came over did you hear that sound, we just stood there, Jenny said it sounded like to cats fighting each other or theyt wanted out of here, then they heard Randy laughing in the other room and then Chan came back in and saw the gals sitting there he busted out laughing again and went back outside and closed the door, what was all that about, Kathy said the cat you heard just went back outside, they looked at us like what, then Randy came out and then went out the back still laughing, what is so funny, I said what you heard the first time was Chan he burped into the mic that was the growl then he stood up and put the mic down by his ass and let out a fart, that sounded like a wild cat wanting out, they all just sat there, and they though about what I just said, thats disgusting out of his ass that sound came out of his ass, then I couldnt help it and I laughed and then Kathy when you think about it it is funny................... 2 Comments

Randy just followed him around the job site and sure enough he went to pick something up with out thinking he dropped it and let out a moan as he stood there that was stupid then he was rubbing his shoulder, Randy said where do you want it, right over there so randy moved for him and said hows the shoulder he said dont tell Kathy, you got it boss, then the hands showed up, they parked off to the side and was waiting for dirrections, then Henrys crew showed up and so did the crane opperators Then Henry drove in, Im I the last to show up, Chanc said morning Henry, and then he stood back and watched as the guys went up and started the roof beams and upper decking, Randy followed Chan around, then two Semis showed up with the cages of rocks so that gave chan and randy something to do with the other cran opperator he would pick up a cage and set it over where Chan and randy wanted it those two were unhooking the straps on the cages one hand was on the trailer hooking up for them, everything was going well until one of the cages slipped and rained rocks above Randy and Chances heads they was running into each other trying not to get hit by falling rocks, the hands said it was almost comical watching those two but niether one got hit, they was lucky.............. the smallest rock wieghed in at 40 pounds after that the cran opperator lowered the cages to ground level just incase it happened again, then moved them where they wanted them much safer now, they got one unloaded and off he went and then it was the seconds turn most were put out in the water to slow down the rip tide that was eatting up the sand shoreline and it worked it calmed that section of water and the rip was almost gone then here came four more trucks with more cages so Randy and Chan worked on that area for most of the morning haveing the cages stacked in pairs next to each other, then the last one was put in place, then another truck showed up its a sand thrower it would scoop up sand and shoot it out on the rocks in the cages he spent a few hours doing that, than here comes a barge with a crane on it and toweing another barge behind it, he was going to drop cages from where the last one was set, and continue until he was empty, he had 125 cages to set in place, so it was going to take a few hours Chan and Randy got out there with them and directed where they wanted the cages. and sure enough it was working, when you want something done right just get them to together and it just happens................... then it was lunch time so the guys went to jumping from cage to cage to the shoreline and just as they was getting almost to shore the girls pulled up in the truck and honked they both looked up and the girls saw them slip on the rocks and over they went right into the water, thank goodness they landed on the south side it was much calmer on that side, but they came running out of that water its what march and that water is cold, not that it warms up where we are at anyways but its cold enough in march, they was breathing hard when they went running for the 5th wheel they was taking off their clothes as the was running to it, so we got in there to help them take off the rest of their clothes than into the shower they both went getting the hot water on demand system going, they was in there for awhile, when we went to check on them, they each had a shower head aimed at them and they was still shakeing, we took their clothes up to the cabin and tossed them into the washer and dryer and then went and took them more clothes for randy Chans were in the trailer already so he gave randy some warm socks and underwear and a tee-shirt and they both were wrapped in blankets still trying to get warm, Randy said steam room will do it so we gave them rides back to the north end so into the steam rooms they went................. we took their clothes from them as they went into the steam room, Kathy said theres nothing like watching two men run around naked, if I had my way hed be that way all the time, I just looked at her, Kathy your bad, she smiled and then giggled I know but wouldnt you keep him naked all the time, I said yes I agree, we do have some pretty good looking men dont we, then I commented on Chan I said that last time I saw him he wasnt that buff, what happened, she said well oneday I meet his older brothers and they made the comment, what in the world happened to you, then they showed a picture of him when he was body building with them at his peak he was 347 pounds he had a 84 inch chest his thighs were right at 38 inches each calves 29 inches his arms were 31 inches I just stood there and was looking at the picture, Jim said Kathy your drooling and I was, then I asked Chan what happened why did you quite, he said I got to big and couldnt do anything my musles got in the way, so I quite, it didnt take long for my body to go back to being normal again, but then I would work out more moderatlly, and what I have now works much better, I dont miss being that big, I have a 74 inch chest now and my thighs are still pure musle and their at 32s each and my forearms are still big and so are my arms just not as big as they was............. Kathy said, I think you are fine just the way you are, and then he said I never shot up to get that big, thats all natural, just lots of protien drinks and Vits, just like I take now, just less on the protien, I like being at 250 I feel better and my heart doesnt hurt anymore, Kathy said thats a good thing, his mother was on him for that for along time, she would get so upset with him you need to lose wieght, well we showed up at one of her wieghtwatchers club and he took off his shirt Kathy said almost had to go and get buckets for the woman they was drooling over him, he said alright mother do you see any fat on this body, even his mother was staring at him, she said according to my charts you should wiegh 215 pounds, he said, it must be nice to live in never never land, when I get bored with life Ill have to come and visit you. she stood there and I dont think she reliezed what he had just told her, all the other woman caught it cause they gasped when he said it, I couldnt help it I laughed, then I said I cant believe what you told your mother, well its true, she needs a case of reality, my bones wiegh more than 215 pounds........................... then he said whatch this, this will get her attention he went and put on his bikini swim trunks and came out of the dressing room, I saw her look right at him and she dropped her coffee cup and it was full, I thought her jaw was going to hit the floor, then he said, if you can find any fat on this body, Ill go down more in my wieght so he got on the scale 250 even then he did his routine and pumped up his musles, and he did it right in front of all those woman, its like she was glued to the floor she couldnt move, then after he was done he walked over to her see any fat anywhere on me, I said Mom he can crack walnuts with his butt alone, ive seen him do it, than I said there is no fat anywhere on him he has the perfect body, his Doc said its even perfect, on his last stress test he passed with flying colors , the doc said he couldnt do that good and he runs 10 miles everyday............ His mother said you win but I want some pictures so I can send them to wieght watchers and show them their scale chart is wrong, cause you do not have any fat anywheres on you and yes you would be dead if you was to get down to 215 like the chart says, plus he said it doesnt go to 6ft6 it stops at 6ft2 so it cant be right anyways, you cant put me in that class, cause 4 inches does make a differance, plus this scale doesnt have anything on the frame of a man, I have a very large frame, she said I feel so bad, I do what the chart says and I do it wrong, than Chan said you do what you can with what you have to work with, this wouldnt even suite the millitary they would laugh, you need to find out who this chart was made for cause it doesnt represent what a man should be, then he asked how many have tryed to go by this scale and failed, she said everyman that has tried this program, he said doesnt that tell you something, I was going by the scale, then he said Never Never Land..................... 1 comment
