After reviewing John’s performance today I am extremely disappointed.  I am not sure if he is half way drunk or not, but he must be because there is no way anybody could possibly be that uncoordinated.  Also, I have never seen anybody as lazy as him in my entire life.  Instead of helping the little kids flip a calf and preventing a wreck he is plum content to lean against the fence and eat a cookie.  And then I made the mistake of letting him rope.  Common sense told me that when he fell off his horse three times during the gather I shouldn’t let him, but I was a nice guy and decided to give him a chance.  First off he only caught like ten calves in a hour and he roped every one of them off of the back of the coral.  I mean come on man that’s what I did when I was like seven.

In conclusion, I am very disappointed and cannot believe that I have made the mistake of inviting him.  I guess I will just have to learn my lesson and remember to not make the same mistake again next year.

“Hey I was just calling to see if it rained over there.”

‘No it didn’t rain a drop.  It is kind of cloudy but I think we are going to go ahead and giver a try.”
