Hey guys,
So today we're actually getting snow on the ground! Hopefully it wont last long as we're right in the middle of calving now. :/ Anyway, other then that, it's just normal spring here, grain cleaning, calving, and mud...
Today, Dad was out cleaning grain but is on his way home now, Mom's taking a nap, Andrew's fixing a truck for somebody, Cora's babysitting, and I'm working on my school and playing World of Tanks on and off... :P
It just stopped snowing for now but it looks like we might get a little bit more later. It should be pretty light though. Dad just got home as well. If you haven't guessed by now I'm kind of running out of things to talk about...
I'm loving my new graphics card, playing Agrar Simulator 2012 at max quality preset and getting 30 FPS... :) It does everything I want it to, so I'm happy... Anyway, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Flying! :D
Hey guys,
So it's been a little while sense I've wrote, so in that time we've had more calves born, got 5 of em on the ground I think, also had a cow with a prolapse last night so we had the vet come and sew her back up again... Yeah, that wasn't fun...
Two days ago, mom was doing a session on a guy and everybody else was outside when mom came out and said "Hey Jacob, wanna go on a airplane ride?" Well, after making sure I heard her right, Andrew and I drove to Napoleon and got rides. :)
The coolest thing we did on the flight was I got to experience zero, and actually negative gravity! It was pretty fun watching the dust levitate towards the ceiling... :P We flew around for about 20 minutes, flew over our farm and everything. :)
Also during the time sense I last wrote, Dad and I went over to a CIH dealer in Wishek for parts, the BEK guys came and hooked up our fiber so now we got lots faster Internet, I bought a new graphics card for my PC (amazing deference in strength from my old one) and that's about it. :)
I'll talk to you all later, probably not as often as we're getting into farming season again. :) Jacob B.

A calf and more news
Hey guys,
Not a whole lot new here today, outside of one of my heifers was having trouble calving this morning so we got her in the barn, attempted to move her to another barn failed, took her back to the same barn, and then pulled the calf that was DOA... -_-
Other then that bit of fun, Mom; Cora; and Andrew just got back from the Homeschool convention last night. They said they had a lot of fun at the convention this year again...
Other then that there really isn't much new around here, outside of a bit of snow that this nasty storm blew in... Have to love a nice 35 MPH wind on a cold day... >.< Yeah, that's North Dakota for you, always a storm...
So yeah, right now Dad is working on tax work, Mom is doing a session or sleeping (or both), Cora is babysitting, Andrew is playing World of Tanks, and I was too but Mom told me to get to school sooo... :P Anyway, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Update...
Hey guys,
Not a lot new around here right now, other then the snow melting... Dad and I have been working on some shelves for the back of the shop, along with cleaning the back of the shop so we can put up the shelves... >.<
Called up to the Polaris dealer this morning to check on my snowmobile, and they haven't got it in the shop yet, so nobody knows what's going on with it yet. I suppose by the time it's fixed the snow will be gone... >.<
The farmers are all trying to figure out what to plant in the new year, and this farm is no exception. We're still debating on how much corn to put in... Let's hope Dad calls it right... :)
Still playing World of Tanks very regular, and having a lot of fun on it too. Would be cool to play with some more friends if you ever want to get it... Anyway, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Tank! O.O
Hey guys,
Not a whole lot new here, our loan officer came out to the farm this morning for signatures on the year's operating loan, and Mom and I went over to Dawson to pick up the Azure order this morning as well.
Right now, Dad is out in the shop, Mom is doing a session, Cora is babysitting, Andrew is probably talking with friends, seeing as he's at their house, and I'm still doing my school work, along with reading about tanks...
While we were in Dawson this morning, we had a bit of extra time on our hands, so I got to look at the tank on display at the veterans building. Turns out it was a M60A3 Patton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M60A3_Tank
So yeah, fun little machine... :P I wish I could drive one, but whatever... Not much else to write about here, so I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B. Oh, and if you don't want to read the article, that tank was more used in the 'nam and more recent wars and was not used in WWII, as the delivered date implies...

Snow! :D
Hey guys,
Not a whole lot going on here today, Dad and Mom went up to Bismarck this morning to work on some loan paperwork and to do other odds and ends in town, Andrew went up to our friends place with the animals this morning as well.
Other then that, not much going on here, Cora's in the kitchen, and I'm working on my big ol school list... I just got called to lunch, so I'll finish this post in a little bit... I hope lunch is good, I skipped breakfast... O.O
So, I'm really not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of the day, but my school list is still pretty long, so that will keep my busy for a while. Which is good because about now I tend to get random, lol.
We got a little bit of snow last night, not as much as I would have liked, but still, every bit helps the growing season... Anyway, I'm going to go for now, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

WoT...
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/
