Champs at Omaha!

Sept. 25th
At Omaha, Nebraska. Minors 4 5. They rode mine and Randon’s horses. Jake Barnes 4 8. Jo Jo Lamond 4 9. Jake and Marty 5 2. Most everybody caught smooth except Garrett. Walt Woodard lost his rope. Is three loops. Mike Jones one foot. Broc Crests one foot. Gas is $3.23 in Omaha. That is kinda aggravating. $3.60 in Pima. That’s it for my thoughts. Sucks not winning. They better keep us out of the top 8.

Sept. 26th
Omaha round two. Travis split the round with Speed. Me and Colter split third. Guys that made it in order: Minors, Jo Jo, Colter, Jake Stanley, Speed, Matt and Cory, us, Jake Barnes. Top 8 at Omaha – Jake Barnes waved it off. We were 4 3 plus 5. Matt Funk 4 4 plus 10. Speed was 4 4 plus 5 so we were still in the lead with 4 guys left. Nervous! Next was Jake Stanley, he’d gotten on a different horse under the pressure of his partner. Lost his roper. Colter went 5 3. Jo Jo was 5 1. Minors – no time – steer ducked his head, header missed. They won 7,800. Top 4 - Speed lost his rope. We were 4 3. Colter missed. Jo Jo 4 3 plus 5. So we are the champs!

Sept. 28.
Flew to a roping today and headed home. Almost over. Jo Jo won the most. Then us then Minors. Colter then probably Speed.
