Washing the baler...

Hi guys,
  As the title suggests, yesterday I pressure washed the baler.  The reason for doing this is to get rid of all of the old hay leaves and dirt and dist that had gathered during the haying season.  I will try to dig up a few pictures that Mom took of me yesterday.  Sorry, they don't want to load. :-(

  Anyway, once Andrew and I had finished washing the very dirty baler, which took us about 3 hours, we "winterized" the pressure washer.  To winterize it, we ran all of the water out, and ran some straight anti-freeze in until it was through all of the systems.

  I have also been working on tearing apart the rafters that got blown over by the wind.  We have to take them all apart so that we can figure out what is all wrong with them so that we can start rebilding them again...

  News for my game fans: Giants software is releasing a special "Platinum" edition of Farming Simulator 2011 with all three of the DLC packs, as well as a new game; Ski Region Simulator 2012.  Those two will be released on the 21st of October.  Also, Agrar Simulator 2012 should be coming out on the 25th of November...

  Gotta run, Jacob.

News and PC games...

Hi guys, what's up?
  Not much is going on right here, as Cora left for her friends house early this morning; Mom left for Bismarck early this morning; Dad is pushing some snow around; Andrew is heading out the door to work on the tractor, and I am doing school... ;-(
                                                       '
  This morning, there was a lot of frost on the fences and everything, and, although I don't like winter all that much, it was a pretty sight.   Anyway, what do people think about the oncoming muddy situation?  I know I am not looking forward to it.

 By the way, if you are interested in Agricultural Simulator, here is a link to a video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aw-pAU12A4 Be warned, it takes a fairly high-powered PC to run this game at any amount of quality.  Note about video: really dumb music,so i suggest muting.

Mud... :-(

Hi guys,
  How are you all doing today?  When I woke up, it was raining, and that means that we are going to be getting even more mud, and I think that everybody here would agree that we have too much mud already. :-(
Do any of my readers think that they have too much mud already?

  Anyway, some more news about that game.  It is actually unfinished now, but they are working on a new patch for it, and I think that should be the final patch.  The game is actually set in the Swiss Alps, so a very pretty map, but all of the tractors and combines are made by Claas, a German brand, so that's not very American.

  The game does still have some bugs in it, like not being able to buy the other farms, and grass stuff that was supposed to come with the game, but they say that will all be fixed in the new patch.  All in all, it is a good game that still has a few bugs in it yet, but definitely worth buying if you have some spare cash...  Anyway, I had better go.

A new Game

Hi guys,
  I just bought a new computer game, but I have to write before I can try it out...  It's called Agricultural Simulator 2011 Extended Edition.  As the name suggests, it is another farming simulation game.  You can visit the website here: http://www.agrar-simulator.de/

  Don't let the website fool you, the game is actually in the English language, and uses American measurements, even though it says it is German...?!  Anyway, it looks like it has some nice features that Farming Simulator doesn't have.

  For example, the tractors and implements leave wheel tracks; you're vehicles get dirty; you have to buy your land; you can upgrade your garage, stables, and grain silos; and many other goodies. ;-)  Anyway, time to go play some more. :P

  Bye, Jacob
