Found it at Jeffro’s blog, The Poor Farm, on my blog roll there on the left hand side.

As always, click on it to make it larger. He’s also got a cool video about a snow machine. I want one!

Cindy got home about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. She said that with what they are predicting for weather, she wanted me to take her back to town and leave her as soon as she could pack a bag. So we loaded up and headed in. Chance was here so he rode along. She packed for an extended stay and hopefully I can get her Sunday afternoon.

Dean stopped in yesterday morning about noon to drop off a letter of ours that had gotten in their mail. He was headed to Punkin Center, so I rode along and we ate at Bull Creek. I got a stack of hay out back of the houses busted out and made it so it will be easier to get bales if it storms and blows much. Looks like we got another one coming in, starting with freezing rain. I am supposed to do a gig in Hot Springs on Saturday night, but we will just have to see. I hate to cancel, but I also hate to get stormed out and leave Chance to try and get back and forth between his house and up here to feed.

This storm is going to come with south east winds and then switch around. That’s always fun.

This is the kind of winters I remember growing up and when my kids were small. Then we had about a 9 year respite. We can handle it, but it isn’t as much fun.

Laramie came today and brought a friend. They got the team shod. I fed with the tractor this morning as it was getting so icy I was afraid the team might slip and hurt themselves. I tried to dig more bales out of the frozen snow that entraps so many, but the loader would barely work. So this afternoon when Chance was here to help me, we put a different pto pump on and now it works fine. So I went out and dug another row of bales out. I shouldn’t have to move any now unless they really snow and drift back in. Of course, they are predicting snow for this weekend, so we’ll see. I am supposed to go to Hot Springs for a gig but I bet they cancel it for now. Not going to get much of a crowd if it’s a blizzard. That is fine with me. I don’t want to be blizzard’d out and leave all the feeding to Chance.

After dinner, Dean came down and loaded his horse in the trailer and rode with me . We stopped and picked up Delbert at his corner and went over to Casey’s and roped with him and Calin. We are kind of rusty, tho Dean was sure sticking the del viento. We quit after about 10 head. We were starting to get sore shoulders. Sure had a good time. I don’t know why we don’t try harder to get together and do this stuff. Always a good time and good visiting. We just get so caught up in our lives and let theses kinds of things slide. Maybe we will do some more if the weather don’t get too bad. Sounds like they are trying to send us some colder weather and some snow.

Muslims? Help?

I have always assumed any of you would know to highlight, copy and paste this link into your browser bar to get to the site. I’d make it an easier link, but I can’t seem to make it work.

But never seen any evidence until this evening when my buddy Slim sent this. Why can’t we do things like this now?

If you don’t already read his blog, go look at this. Wish I could say it the way he does.

Caution, it deals with religion, so if you are easily offended, you better stay away.

Coward.

That is the kind of weather we love in January.

Got the stuff fed yesterday and drove over to Punkin Center to get some lick barrels for the horses and some more salt for mixing with the bean.

When Cindy came home she had the boys. Chance and Hope had went to town with friends. They stopped in and picked them up, last  night, late.

There is a reason the young are supposed to mhave childfren! Them two little boys didn’t do anything bad, but they sure are goer’s!

Looks like it’s going to cool off a little at the start of next week. But still up in the 30’s. I can handle that.  It’s starting to get icy. Be glad to get the shoes on the team. Hope I don’t have to shoe a saddle horse.

Don’t seem like I got a lot accomplished. Did help Chance get some firewood after I got done feeding. Watched the boys and loaded the wood as he cut it. Caught Beaver out in the pasture and rode him home bareback with a halter. Saddled up and went out and doctored a sick steer on him. Came in and ate a later lunch. Cindy called. Took a short snooze. Schwan man came. Couple guys stopped in for a bit. Got a call about a saddle. By then it was almost too dark to unharness the team. Came in and made steak and baked taters for supper for me and Cindy. Now I am starting to think a little bit about bed.

Pretty much the usual day. Here’s some pictures for you to look at.
