Hi guys,
It's been quite a while since I've written, but I have been busy around here... Over the past week, we have been doing a lot of tax work, and I've been doing school, and all sorts of other stuff, like doing chores in the nasty blizzard that came through here!
Well, I've seen a lot worse blizzards, but it was a severe turn towards the nasty side from the nice winter we've been having. ;) But the good side is that we now have plenty of snow to snowmobile... :D Also, Hrystiayan, if your wondering, I am still waiting for my dirt bike part to come... >:(
Last Wednesday, we all suited up, and brought all of the cows into the lot, and sorted all of the stray calves off. Then, we got the rest of the calves moved over to a different pen, and then we hauled them all into town to the salesbarn.
We got a very good price for the calves this year, so we are very happy about that! I saved back 2 heifers, and sold 2 steers, and I got $1,900 bucks! :D:D That money will go into more cows, by the way. ;) Anyway, I see it is time to go again, so I will talk to you all later.
Jacob B. ;)

...School... ;)
Hi guys,
Today, it is just Andrew and I at home, as Dad is up in Bismarck at the dentist; Mom went along too; and Cora is working at the nursing home. Cora has been working at a daycare for a while too, so she has been very busy!
Right now, Andrew is working on taking my old iPod Touch apart, as he wants to try to fix it... I'm working on my school work again as well... :( I'm still waiting for my dirt bike part to come, but its on back order, and I can't find it anywhere. >:(
On Tuesday, Dad went up to the town of Harvey to clean grain for the organic flour mill up there. He just got home yesterday afternoon with a $3,000 dollar check! :D He said that his tooth started bothering him up there, so that's why he's at the dentist today...
Well, I'm starting to run out of things to write about, so I'm gonna say goodbye pretty quick. ;) Thanks for the comments Mom and Hrystiyan!;) Well, I'm off again, and I'll see you all later;)

crazy days
Hi guys,
On Friday, Cora had a very unexpected event happen to her on her way to work in town. She was driving down the road, and she saw a couple of deer starting to cross the road, so she braked hard, but she still hit the one, sending him flying into the ditch!
The deer wasn't in the ditch later on, so it must still be alive, but the van is in sorry shape right now. When it hit, it pushed back the whole front end, crunching the front quarter panel and hood, the right headlight got mashed, and the radiator is bad now. Cora is going to sell the van for $750 to somebody who needs the tranny.
Also on Friday, Andrew and Dad went up to Minot to buy another car to fix up... But this time, Andrew bought a brand new car trailer to haul his cars on! The new project is a 2002 Dodge Stratus with a bad head gasket...
This morning, Dad got up early and went on the road with the grain cleaner and went up to Harvey to clean some dirty grain for the flour mill up there; Mom is exercising; Cora went baby sitting; Andrew just got a package in the mail, and I'm working on school, and talking with my buddy. :D
Time to go again, Jacob B.

busy busy... ;)
Hi guys,
Today, Dad went trucking again; Mom has been making phone calls to people, trying to dig up Ron Paul supporters; Cora has been dong stuff in the house so far; Andrew is listing another one of his cars; and I am getting going on school...
Yesterday, Andrew had listed our old 1985 Chevy Caprice Classic on BisManOnline, and that same night, we got a call from a guy by Bismarck who wanted to buy it, so Dad took it up, and Andrew went with another car for the ride home.;)
On Tuesday, I bought Andrew's iPod Touch, as since he got his tablet, he has hardly turned his iPod on, so now I have an iPod Touch again. :D I have been having some fun with some of the games on there already too... ;)
My latest extra-curricular activity is building a map for Farming Simulator 2011 that is a copy of our farm! :D So far, I haven't gotten a whole lot done, just working on a few roads and stuff... When I get closer to done I will post a picture or two;) Anyway, time to go again.

reading report.
Hi guys,
Today, Dad went off to haul some grain, after a bit of trouble getting the truck started; Cora went to go babysitting at a daycare; Andrew worked on our neighbor's car (I helped a little too...) Mom has been working around the house; and I have my school to work on...
Today, for my reading assignment, I picked a farming magazine, and I started reading an article about what they think farming will be like in 2021! So far, we have read that they think that there will be verities of crops that will be drought; frost; and flood resistant! :D
Also, there have been some very interesting demonstrations in automonos farming recently, including a driverless grain cart, driverless corn planter, a system from John Deere that matches a cart's speed to the combines, and a system from Fendt that links 2 tractors together, so that the first 1st has a driver, and he controls the 2nd one as well!
Currently, even though people still have to drive stuff, it could be changing very soon! Now days, there are GPS guidence systems that well guide your tractor within an inch of accurate! Anyway, very interesting stuff! Time to go do chores,

Our News...
Hi guys,
Today, Mom is working with a couple of clients; Cora is out doing goat chores; Dad is out doing cow chores; Andrew is messing around with some video stuff; and I'm getting started on my school for the week again.....
Last Friday, Dad; Andrew; and I got the second grain cleaner home, so no more running over 100 miles to go work in a very dusty grain elevator. YAY!! :D Now we just go about 100 yards to the shop and put them all back together again... ;)
On Thursday, O got my dirt bike fixed up most of the way, and now, I am just waiting for parts to come... When you kick the engine over now, it has a more distinct wump to it. :P I think that if my part were here, I would already have driven it. ;)
On Saturday night, Andrew and I got a very nice, and somewhat unexpected, surprise! It was the very nice gift of $250 to Andrew, and $200 to me, for our work on the grain cleaners. Thank you Dad and Mom! ;) Well, time to go again, so I will see you all later.

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.
