Great read. I am not familiar with Cowboy etiquette but I am glad you let me know. I have always been in awe of Cowboys-it is a hard but just life. If I was younger, I wish I had been given the experience to work on a ranch. Character building and worthy work. :)
Thank you, T. Scott. A whole lot more of us would benefit if we'd worked on a ranch a few summers. As creative as you are, I think you would have made a fine cowboy. They often had to make do with what they had, learning to repair things on the trail and find creative solutions to problems. Even though you didn't have the experience as a younger man, as an older man you can demonstrate the qualities that make cowboys cowboys: hard work, pride in your work, honesty, tolerance of discomforts (non-complaining), and courage.
