Hey guys,
So not a whole lot going on here right now, just working on cleaning up the back of the shop a little bit, and I'm still tied down with school all the time, so yeah, condition normal here...
Today we got one of Cora's heifers in the chute and PG'd her, as we are going to sell her and a few other calves to some friends. I think Andrew is planning on taking the animals up to their place tomorrow...
Lately Andrew and I have started playing World of Tanks, which is a very fun free MMO game where you drive old WWII tanks in 15-tank-teams trying to destroy all enemy tanks on their 15-tank-team...
It's a whole lot of fun and it's free. If anybody wants to check it out go to www.worldoftanks.com and you can download it from there. Anyway, time to go again, so until next time, Jacob B/

The Farm is Changing...
Hey guys,
Not a whole lot going on here, I got my Land Rover in the shop this morning to investigate a few things, and we also loaded out a load of wheat this morning, as we sold a couple loads a while ago... :)
Over lunch today Dad and Mom got into a bit of a discussion about what we're going to be doing on the farm this coming growing year, and what I had suspected for a while was definitely confirmed. We are leaving organics this year.
That's right, leaving organics. Personally I think Dad is doing the right thing, we definitely need to change something big in our operation, this sure isn't working... We have been watching Arden Anderson's course on biological farming, so we are going to try to go that way eventually...
So yeah, people here are going to be getting the farming itch again soon, as all the snow is leaving. Personally I wouldn't mind if the snow would stay on for another half month or so, but nature must take it's course. Anyway, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Sled Problems... -_-
Hey guys,
So yesterday Mom; Cora; Andrew and I went up to Bismarck to run errands, and I also took my snowmobile to the Polairs dealer to have them reflash the ECU to the correct injector codes because I had put different injectors in it.
Well, they reflashed the ECU, and he said it wasn't doing anything different, so I left it up at the dealership so that they can work on it and try to figure out whats going on... Let's hope it won't cost me too much... :/
So yeah, I figure that by the time they figure out what's wrong and I get it fixed all the snow will be gone and I'll have to wait till next year. --___-- Anyway, we didn't do a whole lot in town, ran around to thrift shops and dollar stores and all around the town stuff...
Spring is coming pretty fast, so I won't be writing as much sometime in the near future, as farming will be keeping me busy... :) Anyways, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Windy!
Hey guys,
Not a whole lot going on here, Dad and Mom are still coughing and not feeling the best, Cora's babysitting for the neighbors, Andrew's looking at snowmobiles on bisman, and I'm doing school...
Andrew's looking at snowmobiles because he's got a guy that will probably buy his John Deere sled tomorrow... I offered to sell him mine, but he said I would want too much... :P I'm sure he wouldn't mind driving it though... ;)
Kind of nasty outside today, kind of a snower and blower day today. It isn't snowing too much, but the wind has got a bit of a nasty bite to it. At least I didn't have to go out to chores this morning... >:D
We're going to be selling the calves here this Thursday, hoping and praying the prices are good. We do have a nice looking batch of calves this year though, so we should get a good price. :) Well, I got to go, so I'll talk to you all later. Jacob B.

randomness...
Hey guys,
Not much new here today, Andrew and Mom went up to Bismarck for some committe hearings of bills going through the legislature, Cora's babysitting, Dad's feeding cows, and I'm doing my school... :/
Mom, Cora and a freind are going to go to a self defense class in Bismarck tonight, and throug Sunday I think. They claim some pretty impressive moves, so we'll have a nice rough'n'tumble match afterwards. :P (just kiddin)
Andrew got his pickup back from the body shop the other day, looks just fine again. :) I just realized that at this stage, I just start randomly rambling and saying stuff just for a filler, lol. I guess I'm not a writer...
Anyway, kind of looking forward to spring and farming again. I kind of get bored over the winter... :/ Well, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

It's snowing!
Hey guys,
Not a whole lot going on here today, just sitting inside avoiding the snowstorm outside, doing school, and goofing off at the same time. :P Mom is with a client at the moment, so she told me to work on school... *sigh*
Yesterday, I was home alone most of the day, Mom and Andrew went up to Bismarck, Andrew got his RAM back from the body shop (looks good as new now:)), Cora went babysitting, and Dad went to haul corn for a guy...
I'm still stumped with my snowmobile, but I'm going to order a couple of exhaust gaskets today, and then put it all back together and try to trace the problem back from there. If you guys have any idea why it wouldn't idle or start right let me know, lol.
When I get it back together, I'm going to pull a compression test. Andrew said that that side was a little low before, so that would make it not run on the one side at idle... Anyway, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Update
Hey guys,
Not a whole lot new here, just the normal farm life during winter... Our family has been battling a cold for a while now, and it's getting quite annoying, but most of us are still feeling good enough to work like normal, with just a annoying cough...
I've gotten my snowmobile back together now, and took it for a little ride once, but it doesn't want to start or idle right. It appears to only run on 1 cylinder at idle until you run it up to about 2000 RPM when it runs fine.
Yeah, us guys are all confused on that one. :( Andrew's been keeping busy with another pickup he got recently, Cora's been babysitting a lot, Dad's been trucking grain pretty regular now, and Mom's still got her clients...
Other then all that, we haven't done a whole lot lately, just been keeping busy in the shop, playing ping pong and working some of the time... :P Anyway, it's time for me to go, so I'll TTYL, Jacob B. :)
