Yup, I remember. Up at 5am, and lucky to get free by 9pm, only to be corraled into a nightly chess game with my uncle. There were days I wanted to just ditch the whole day with my cousins Tom and Huck style! I think the biggest thing which of course doesn't make for good Bonanza is the constant visual and dodging game of cow patties on the Ranch. That stuff is everywhere and you can't get away from it. I wonder how many times the tractor wheels have flung those patties off the wheels and into my face when I was riding in the hay wagon. Ick! No patties on the Bonanza crew, so yes it's a very santized version of Ranch life. Horse troughs were probably a good substitute for falling into cow patties! Water doesn't smell or look so bad on film!

The Father Knows Best of Western life is a real cracker! Good one!

Oh My Gosh , I Forgot About Dry Patty's , My Brother Would Sling Those At Me , They Make Great Frisbee's.
Another Thing We Used Them For Was Shooting With Our Shot Gun's. Kinda Like Skeet Shooting Clay Pigeon's.

Afew Times Hed Plop A Wet One On My Head. Yuck*

Stock Water Tank's Were Great On Hot Summer Day's.

I Miss The Life , But Not The Back Breaking Work It Caused.

The Western's Should Show More About Cattle Kicking You.
Rank Horse's Sinking Their Teeth In You.
Back In The Late 60's My Mom Was In The Horse Corral and We Had A Rank Mean Stud and He Came Up And Bit My Mom In The Breast And Would Not Let Go , My Dad Had To Use A Crow Bar On His Mouth Because His Jaw Was Locked Close.

The Life Of Rancher Sound's Enviting , But After 1 Day Out In The Blistering Heat You'll Soon Change You Mind About It.
