Ranch hazards

Now that it is over, I can share the latest hazard. Don and I were on the southwest corner of the Rafter H, at a windmill. I was looking at Don and walking around the tank, talking. I took my eyes off Don and turned my head, just in time for my teeth to whack into a fill pipe to the water tank. It only hit the bridgework that has been solid in place since 1984, but I heard it snap off. I tried to be careful and hope it would magically reset itself, but it didn't last past Fort Sumner. I went in today and had it recemented for $120. I hope it will last another 26 years, but the dentist said ,"not if you walk into another pipe, that will be $3600, because we'll have to widen the thing....." which is true, I will just watch it when I'm jousting windmills!
