So Many Things On Go

Posted by trent on Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

The title really says it all for me of late.    I am extremely busy at work and that is something that will continue for quite some time.    The problem is that I really have so many “extra” things outside of the realm of work that I pursue that I barely have time for anything.    Work, [...]

Start of Grass Season 2008

Posted by trent on Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Today the grass season started for us on our main ranch with the arrival of some of our cattle. I guess I should almost called it the start of the Pied Piper as that is what these first two (2) photos look like! May the year be full of rain [...]

2007 Year In Review

Posted by trent on Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

2007 was a pretty crazy year!   On the business front it was a year of extreme progress on new ventures and one of the craziest years that I have ever witnessed in terms of the benefits of risk management and hedging in terms of the commodity markets.    The markets offered some the wildest volatility that [...]

Taking A Little Time Off

Posted by trent on Friday, December 28th, 2007

I have been pretty scarce when it comes to updates and most of the things that I do online for the past while here.    It has been really busy with the holidays and with other business things going on, so I haven’t had time!    I am still around, but I might be a little slow [...]

TNT Community Forum

Posted by trent on Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I am happy to say that I finally have my TNT Community Forum back up and running. Six (6) months ago, I had a server crash and really thought that this forum was just one of those things that would never be back due to the loss of data. I [...]

I Should Have Paid Attention…

Posted by trent on Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Here is the situation.   I was 6 years old and my parents forced to me learn an instrument.   The simple choice was obvious because my sister played the piano.   I guess I was learning piano.    These lessons lasted 8 months before my teacher learned that I couldn’t read music and was playing completely by ear.     [...]

YouTube Mac Issues

Posted by trent on Sunday, November 25th, 2007

It has been a really interesting weekend in terms of my video management.    I have been on a mission to get all the videos that are on the Sony DCR-TRV6 onto YouTube.    I know that particular camcorder is from the year 2000 and older than dirt, but it is all I have right now!    On [...]

Just wanted to share my post via Maguire’s blog!
I was so excited when we got Emerson, our first golden retriever puppy, but now we have a friend for him in Mackenzie! She is only 9 weeks old right now, but cute as a button! Here she is below!

Emerson is such a great dog and now [...]

Back From Vacation

Posted by trent on Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

I just love it when I get back from a vacation and find the pile of things that I have to do has increased and the amount of time to get caught up is less. Top that with the fact that many people don’t like coming home from vacations and that [...]

If you need to reach me in the next little while, I will be the guy holding the drink beside the poolside bar and not the guy in the office……….emails and blog will be slow, but most likely looked at every once in awhile
Forum participation will also not be much more than helping out [...]

My Name Is “Month End”

Posted by trent on Friday, August 31st, 2007

Not quite sure what I am getting at with that title?   We always do monthly financial statements.     That means we are constantly going over our information several times to make sure everything is ready to send to our accountants.    Once the information is sent up to them, we work together to piece the “story” together [...]

Just One Of Those Days

Posted by trent on Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

“Woke Up This Morning”I paid my last respects this mornin’ on an early grave
Already said goodbye, nothin left to say
A tiny church a tiny town and not a tear was spent
Not how I wanted it, I’m hating all of this
Well I’m hating, all of this
I’m hating, all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I [...]

Power Plant Lake!

Posted by trent on Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Most people go to the lake and it is one that has been around forever! Not my lake! It is man made and used in the process of generating power from the local coal plant. That is why it is a great lake because the water temperature [...]
