Random Ramblings

Hi guys,
  Today, Mom and Andrew went to Bismarck to do some errands up there; Dad is hauling grain I think; and Cora and I are staying home to work around here and do my school work... I have to do one hours worth of math today... :(

 Anyway, Andrew is going to bring my dirt bike parts home today, so I should be able to get that on it's way back together again.  Also, we got our neighbor's car out of the shop yesterday, so we can get that one grain cleaner in and start putting it back together...

  I think we are going to start taking the other grain cleaner apart tomorrow.  Let's hope that we don't get to dusty. :P  We also got Andrew's latest car project running yesterday, and we drove it around a little bit, and it seems to run just fine!

  Yesterday was a very weird day in terms of the weather.  We had snow melting off again in the morning, and I think we got a little snow in the evening...  Anyway, I should go get started on that huge math project, so I gotta go.

 Bye, Jacob B. ;)

an update

Hi guys,
  We've been keeping busy with everything under the sun, so that's why I haven't been writing lately...  Two days ago, very early in the morning, (about 5:00) Dad and Mom got up and went on the roads to go to the Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture annual conference.

 Yesterday, Andrew got up early in the morning, did his chores, and went on the roads to Minot, to go to an Appleseed shoot up there, as he is an Instructor In Training, or IIT for short. ;)  Dad; Mom; and Andrew all got home last night, and Cora and I stayed home to do the chores.

  Over the past week, we have been working on taking apart two grain cleaners and moving them home from an elevator over by Spiritwood, which is about 100 miles from here.  One is just like three other ones that we have, and the other is a shaker mill like the one we took out of the Kintyre elevator.

  We currently have the first one home, (in a bunch of little pieces, so that we could get it out the door,) and we are just getting started on the other one, which shouldn't take as long as the first one...  Anyway, that's what we've been up to. ;)

  Gotta go, Jacob.  (almost typed my LS-UK user name, NDFarmer) :D
