entry 1#

as of the moment I've managed to buy some cattle off of a farmer out south, I'm takin them to the market so I get a price on their head and report back to the farmer in hopes to trade some goods with him. He's be too old to go all the way west to the market nowadays so I'm hoping to get there and back fast because of how hot the sun is beaming down near noon and i don't want to get stuck riding back in that. sometimes i wonder why I do this to my self but I'm traveling most times with a pretty good bunch and the pay is pretty good, plus you meet a bunch of people on the way, always kept on your toes. why just the other day I had to help heard runaway cattle group, apparently, they got lose because the farmer forgot to lock them back up around dusk. me and the fellas found them out about 5 miles north of the cattle ranch such in a bank of mud of an old gold deposit that people used to use back way when, we had to drag the out by their legs and their horns, I remember me and the guys laughing about it the next day after the job was done because we all passed out and slept the whole day, one of us even lost a shoe in the mud, I swear! but like i said, it pays well, its better than bein out on my behind with only my clothes. i originally started this because of fame but now i find t better because i often am only dealing with cattle not snot nosed people, but hey then again i said often, there is a moment from time to time where i come acrost someone begging for a dead arm but its whatever, theres nothin i could do if i wanted to. anyway heres my entry for today tonight from what ive read from the schedule the boys set up we gotta go head for sunset because of an event happening in one of theirs home town tomorrow and apparently it only happens once a year' or something like that, but whatever i gotta get some sleep if i gotta listen to him yap about it all day tomorrow.
