Got a bug of some sort.. some say flu, but didn’t seem, the same.. just a bad ache in the stomach and a bit of constipation and then scours… took me out of most things for a couple days.. better yesterday and a bit more today… probably running at 90 % . Colder today, we lostContinue reading “Puny”

Seeing as our 36 Anniversary is coming up real soon, I suggested to Cindy that after Mass last night, we’d head over to Hill City ( about a 100 miles) and go to the bimonthly jam session there.. she thought that sounded good, so we did.. made a flying trip as we left here atContinue reading “Fun”

Laramie came today and sharpshod the team on the fronts and  took off Brody’s old shoes and reshod him, sharp.. well, with Aztez or what ever these guys use now.,.. that pretty much took up the whole day.. I did get a little work in on the wagon.. I ran into town yesterday and gotContinue reading “Ready for ice…”

Woke up about 4:30 and never got my nap in.. it’s about 8 pm as I type this and think it might just be bed time… Fed cows with the tractor this morning, wind was howling and I was headed to town to watch Gabe and Lige wrestle… They pinned and got pinned,. guess theyContinue reading “Long day”

It worked good. When I was done feeding, I backed it into the shed and cut off a bit of the points and resharpened them… dream worked will with the shanked bits and curb straps.. I went out this afternoon and took the tractor and pushed a bunch of cowpies out of the way soContinue reading “Bale wagon”

I went out to feed with the new bale wagon this morning.. already had a bale on it.. I added 6 bags of salt to the front so it kept the front end from coming up, fine… but the bale unroller didn’t squeeze quite as tight, on the bale, as I’d like, but I wentContinue reading “Whew….”

The new bale wagon…. had to lengthen the ecentric arm that closes and opens the arms so there was more power from the cylinder and then I put a bigger cylinder on.. it ruins a bit slower, but I have more power.. Now, to get some weight to put on the front to help holdContinue reading “Got it!”

Well, another year has passed for me since I was born.. time to think back and maybe learn something…. Dang.. I hate when I go to sleep like that!

Paul Larson and I met in Belle on Friday afternoon and went to Buffalo to perform for the Harding Country Stockgrower meeting.. good crowd, Rod Hoffman had some great food and Bill Johnson did a bang up job actioning off some kids for a fund raiser. After wards we followed part of the crowd toContinue reading “Fun, but tiring…”

If it was made reeaaallll strong! Gust to 45 or 50 mph, they claim.. temp is dropping, but not a lot of snow, thank goodness. Fed the cows real good… I got tired of having two bunches and trying to get every thing and the horses watered so turned them all together for a fewContinue reading “Kite weather”
