Heat Wave!

Hi guys,
  Two days ago, everyone, except Cora who worked in town, weaned the calves off of the cows and moved them over into a pen away from their mothers.  And the result is excessive mooing from all of the cows day in and day out...

  The weather has been absolutely amazing for January here the past couple of days.  Yesterday it got up to fifty some-odd degrees here!  And, we still have not had any lasting snow here either, which is a bit of a shame, seeing how I might be buying a snowmobile! :D

  That's right, I might, just might, be buying a cheap snowmobile!  But I won't excite you any more than I already have, just in case it doesn't work out, and partly because I like making you wonder what it might be..... :-) :P

  Anyway, this morning, Andrew went to Bismarck in his '08 Dodge Charger that he got working; Dad worked around here for a while, then went to Napoleon; Cora did stuff in the house, and Mom and I worked on my school. :S

  Time to go, Jacob B. ;-)

Happy new Year!

Hi guys,
  Happy new year!  Let's hope that this year is even better than the last one.  Yesterday, we didn't do much work.  The rest of the family finished watching a movie that they had started the night before, and after lunch, us guys went out to the shop and worked on a few things, and then played pool. :D

  Last Thursday, Dad, Andrew , and I went to a farm near Spiritwood, which is on the east side of Jamestown, to look at another grain cleaner setup.  After talking and looking for about an hour, we decided to buy it for  $12,500. 

  We are going to get it home sometime this week, and then we are going to have to redesign it to get the cleaner that we took out of the Kintyre elevator onto this trailer...  That will keep us busy in case we run out of things to do. :P


  Well, that is pretty much all I have to write about for now, so I will leave you with a final picture or two. ;-)  Here you go.    My grass crew. ;-)
