Just Another Day in Paradise
One of the perks of the priesthood is pastoral visits. Those are all the more exciting when they lead you into the mountains. This time it was northeast of Hulett in Black Hills. So like any Wyoming Catholic Cowboy priest would do, I flew in.
Dad and I went halves on a drone. It's the coolest piece of technology I've ever seen.
Sue and John Raney are getting this place set up piece by piece. Currently they are living in the shouse on the right and the foundation for the new home is on the left.
The pics from this drone are outstanding
After the big ranch tour we settled down for some LB steak and Bush's beans
Being cajans, they treated this ol cowboy with some southern hospitality
Beef, crab legs, beans still in the can, and shop towels for napkins, now this is my kind of feast.
Thanks Sue and John for sharing with me some of the gifts God has given you.

Showdown at the - d Corral
Flocchini had been talking smack about my grass fattened beef, so it was time to throw down: Texas Wagyu vs. Wyoming grass fattened.
So we gathered the boys for judging: Kelly Hand and Seth Hostetler
John and I provided the meat while Kelly and Seth brought the bs.
John's outfit sells Wagyu beef as well as their Bison
We, on the other hand, stick to the bovine
Wagyu on top and WGF below
Our beef is a solid 1 1/4" thick while John's is 1"
Wagyu's fat has the consistency of butter and melts quick on the grill
I think John gave special attention to the cross hatching on his beef
To play it safe, we blind folded the boys
The criteria was simple: Taste, Tender, & Texture
Well I don't mind admitting defeat. John has a good steak. Well done ol' son. At least I got one plug for tenderness. Thanks Seth.
Let the fun begin. So we threw the rest of the meat on grill. John likes to cook on high.
Wagyu, Bison, WGF
A good time had by all. Thanks boys for a fun evening on the feast of the Epiphany. Praised be Jesus Christ.

Summer 2020 Limited Edition
2020 was a bronc. Now that the dust has settled, I think we can all say that we learned how to buck. First thing, never worry about the fall. Keep your mind in the middle, lift, and spur like Dale. Most importantly, if you get bucked off, get back on again. On to the next one... 2021 here we come!

Bless Us Oh Lord
Mass on Jan. 1 makes perfect sense; Lord thank you for the past year and please bless the upcoming one.
