Far Reaches MRJR

Season 4 is here Reachers!  That is right, the gang is back from the summer hiatus and fresh back from Pendleton Roundup and exploring Ireland.  This season is once again proudly brought to you by our amazing friends at B&K Auto Salvage in La Grande and Baker City.  Check em out and tell them the Far Reaches sent ya! http://bandkautosalvage.com/

Ralls is still digging out of summer hay duties, but Joel, Richard and Micah kick off the season with some updates during the world famous Far Reaches, Reach Around session.  The boys quickly fall into their old ways and tear into several great discussions including hurricanes, energy policy and finish off with a rousing examination of the us education system, bailouts, student loans, liberal arts and even a little on the Oregon governor race.  The gang also discuss having special guests more frequently, so if you know someone who deserves (either good or bad) to come explore the Reaches, or you yourself want to tell them a thing or two about a thing or two, let us know!  And most importantly,  keep on Reachin!

The gang is back in full force!  Life has been, well, being life.  Work has been on fire for everyone and it is that time of year that you have to make hay while the sun is shining!  Two of the Reachers suffered the sudden loss of one of their college roommates, which certainly reminded them of how lucky they truly are to have true friends, and the ability to talk on The Far Reaches as well.   

Thank you again to our amazing friends at B&K Auto for all they do to help bring this podcast to your kitchen, pickup, tractor, swather, backhoe, exercise bike or any number of places that people say they listen.  We truly couldn't do it without them, so be sure and tell them thank you and listen for the exclusive promo code for Reachers! https://www.facebook.com/BkAutoSalvageInc

Amy and Shandie are making their way through the Mongolian Outback in the world famous Mongol Derby!  Track them live right here and cheer them on....Because they can hear you!  https://equestrianists.com/mongol-derby/

The gang cover another wide range of topics, including a mind blowing theory on the tv show House, Joel's MVP softball season, Micah's gratitude and Ralls and little Buster tearing up the hay field! It's another instant classic and one you are sure to mark as a favorite!

Once again, we thank the great team at B&K Auto for their sponsorship and support of the Far Reaches.  Be sure and stop by and thank them, and keep them in mind for your scrap and parts needs! They serve the Northwest well, and be sure and tell them The Reachers sent ya!  

The Reacher's are back and Richard and Micah do their best to keep the wheels rolling and the topics flying.  Richard has taken to buying jeans on Ebay and Micah has decided to wear the same color and style of shirt every day for work...Both have been traveling for work and Ralls and Joel have been busy with all things work and ranchin.   

Richard brings up the fact that server farms use a lot of water and are using a tremendous amount of natural resources, both the land and the water.  Something to consider and look into for sure....Which inspires the Entertainment Spotlight of Chinatown.  One of many great movies about water and the struggle for the power to control it.

The Reachers are back and better than ever.  They have all been busy doing what makes them happy and a Full On Reacher!  Ralls has been calving, Richard is counting the days until turnout, Joel is a dart throwing fool, and Micah has been battling plumbing and chaos in general!   

They bring up a couple past Entertainment Spotlights of Old Henry and Open Range...And since we haven't all seen and talked about them yet, we keep them on the list to review.  Richard also suggests that we all pick our favorite Led Zeppelin song and discuss the next time... 

The gang talk about the Nitrogen Cycle, buying local beef, who will run for president next time and inflation.   Strap in, sit down, listen, watch, share and enjoy!!
