cold weather again!

Hey guys,
  Today, Mom and Andrew went to Bismarck to do the stuff that needed doing in town, Cora is babysitting at the neighbor's place, Dad is working on his truck again, and I'm sitting here with school work to do...

  Yesterday afternoon, Dad; Cora; Andrew; and I loaded up 4 cows to go to the butcher shop, and then went and played ping-pong for a bit, until Dad had to go deliver the cows.  Andrew also sold a quad and a computer to a guy who saw his ads on BisMan Online.

  One of the things on our list for today is to put a new floor in our cattle working chute, so that the cows don't churn up the ground right under the chute and make a big mess like has been the case in previous years... :\

  Well, I don't have much more to write about, so I am going to go outside and help dad in the shop.  I will talk to you all later, and give you an update on my car project... ;)  Talk to you later, Jacob B.

Birthday Time! :)

Hey guys,
  Long time no write again as usual, but I've been keeping busy with tearing my Land Rover engine down, having a birthday, stuff like that... :P  Yes, that's right, I just turned 17 yesterday!  I still don't know where time goes...

 As for my Land Rover, I've got it apart as far as I should, and I'm just waiting for parts to come so that I can start putting it all back together again...  It appears that it was the head gasket, so it should be a really cheap fix... :)

  So, yesterday, on my birthday, Cora brought the 2 little girls that she babysits over, and we had a good time watching them and watching a kids movie, and then she took them back over to their home after lunch.  After (a very good) lunch, Andrew and I went out to the shop and played ping-pong for about an hour and a half... :P

  So, for my birthday so far, I've been given, another good 3 hour long board game, called Aeroplanes; 3 movies; The Cricket in Times Square, Tom Sawyer, and Adventures of Huckleberry Fin; a book of cars from the 60's; and a guitar capo!  Thank you to my wonderful family! :)

  I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B. ;)
