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.

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.

Hogan's Hero's :)
Hey guys,
Just to let you all know, this is an assignment from Mom, not something I actually thought I'd sit down and write about. Anyway, here goes, my favorite character from the TV show, Hogan's Hero's. :)
If I had to pick one character to be my favorite, I would have to say Newkirk, just because he's always funny and willing to do something dangerous for his country, although I do like all of the characters in the show.
Here's what Wikipedia says about the actor: "Richard Dawson (born Colin Lionel Emm; November 20, 1932 – June 2, 2012) was an English-born American actor and comedian, and a game show host and panelist in the United States.
Dawson was well known for playing Corporal Peter Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes, being the original host of the Family Feud game show from 1976–1985 and 1994–1995, and a regular panelist on the 1970s version of Match Game on CBS from 1973 to 1978. After a successful career in British television and cinema, Dawson moved to Los Angeles. In 1984, he became an American citizen while remaining a British subject.
In 2012, Dawson died of complications from esophageal cancer. He is buried at Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles."
^ Now there's a talented man! Just got my parts order for my sled, so I'm going to go start bolting the engine back in that in a few minutes, so I'll talk to you all later.
Jacob. :)

Not Much New...
Hey guys,
Long time no write again, I've been busy with working on my sled, and having a party all of the past week almost, lol. I'm still waiting for parts for my snowmobile yet, but when 1 part gets here we can start putting the engine back in it.... Yeah, long project... :(
Anyway, today, I'm really not sure what we're going to be doing. Andrew's going to be working on his latest project that he bought the other day, a '05 F-250; Dad's probably going to help him, Mom's got sessions, don't know about Cora, and I've got school, but that's fine cause I couldn't work on the sled anyway.......
Other then that, not a whole lot new here, we all went up to Dad's parents place for Christmas, We bought 45 new cows and I bought 3 for myself out of that bunch, I've stuck more cash into the sled, yeah, everything's about normal... :P
Also, for everybody sitting there wondering "how much does he have into that dumb sled anyway", it's roughly $2500 with a few more parts to order, but not too much yet... I'll get you some pictures when I get it done. ;)
Well, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Another combine!
Hey guys,
Sorry about my blog going dead (again), I've been kind of busy lately working on everybody's projects, along with my own whenever possible, as well as playing a good bit of ping pong... :P
The FedEx man just came, bringing the bottom end of the engine for my snowmobile that I had to order because the previous owner blew it up and didn't tell me about that... So yeah, I just stuck another $650 into the sled that I didn't think I had to... -_-
Last Friday, Dad and I went over to a consignment auction sale near Jamestown, and while we were there, we bought a combine! (again :P) This time we got the combine we wanted though, a 1990 John Deere 9600! :) (pictures to come later, as always)
So then on Wednesday, Dad and I went over there again, and drove it home. Nice combine! :D Well, I gotta get on with my other school work, I want to start rebuilding my engine this afternoon... :D TTYL, Jacob B.

A Good day...
Hey guys,
Yesterday, Cora went babysitting again, Mom and Dad stayed home and worked around the place, and Andrew and I went up to Bismarck to buy and sell some stuff again... :)
When we got up to Bismarck, we went to the Menards parking lot, and (shivered while we) sold one of Andrew's 4-wheelers to a guy for $1,800 and a nice Ruger Hawkeye rifle... :)
After we did that, I gave a guy a call, and then we went out into the Baldwin area so I could buy myself a snowmobile! So my newest project is a 2005 Polaris Fusion 900, which I bought (very inexpensively) with a chipped piston.
After that, we got back to town, and went to some other stores which I'll let Andrew talk about, and I ordered parts for my new sled at a parts store. And when I came home, I had a nice box of computer parts waiting for me, and I am writing this on my new custom built PC! :D
I will talk to you later, and get you pictures of my sled when I have it back together more, Jacob B. ;)

Heat Wave!
Hi guys,
Two days ago, everyone, except Cora who worked in town, weaned the calves off of the cows and moved them over into a pen away from their mothers. And the result is excessive mooing from all of the cows day in and day out...
The weather has been absolutely amazing for January here the past couple of days. Yesterday it got up to fifty some-odd degrees here! And, we still have not had any lasting snow here either, which is a bit of a shame, seeing how I might be buying a snowmobile! :D
That's right, I might, just might, be buying a cheap snowmobile! But I won't excite you any more than I already have, just in case it doesn't work out, and partly because I like making you wonder what it might be..... :-) :P
Anyway, this morning, Andrew went to Bismarck in his '08 Dodge Charger that he got working; Dad worked around here for a while, then went to Napoleon; Cora did stuff in the house, and Mom and I worked on my school. :S
Time to go, Jacob B. ;-)

I'm back.
Hello everybody!
Last Friday we all went up to Bismarck,to see if the truck was ready to bring home yet, because they had called and told us it was, but then it wasn't...; and we also went to help Mom move her office across the hall, but I will let Mom tell you about that.
Right now, Dad is playing cards on the computer; Mom is resting; Cora is baby siting; (I think) Andrew is listing a computer on Bis Man Online and working on some more video editing; and I don't think that I need to tell you what I am doing at the moment...
On Saturday, Andrew and I took the snowmobile out for another ride, and we had gotten some really fluffy, powdery snow, and we were sinking in pretty far... I just heard Mom come out from her nap, so I have to go.

Our crazy life!
Hello,
Yesterday, Dad still couldn't get the truck, because it wouldn't let Dad speed up the engine past 1,500 RPM; cruse control woudn't work; and the check engine light was always on... >:-( So we have to wait some more until we can get that back home...
Anyway, today it is snowing again, and we are getting quite a bit of snow, which is fine, because our latest hobby, is pulling a circular sled behind the snowmobile, which someone rides... (see Andrew's blog for pictures)
One of the many new features of Farming Simulator 2011, is multi player, where you can play with real people! I have been enjoying that feature a lot here lately, and it is a whole lot of fun!
Anyway, I have to go, so bye bye!

Yesterday's News.
Hi all,
Yesterday, Andrew, Cora, and I took out the snowmobile, and we tied a sled behind it, and I rode the sled while Andrew drove, and then he took Cora for a ride, and then I took him for a ride, but by then, we were almost out of gas, so we had to stop. :-(
Anyway, today, Dad is picking up his truck, because it wasn't ready the other day; and Mom has sessions in Bismarck today; Cora is going to go work in town this afternoon; and I don't really know what Andrew and I are going to do today.
So, I am almost done with school, (yay) and it looks like it is pretty nice outside, so we might ride the snowmobile some more today, but who knows what we are going to do today... ;-) Well, I have just gotten the call to lunch, so I had better go.

Snowmobile
Hi all,
Today, Andrew and I took out the snowmobile for the first time on snow! It was really fun, except for when we got tipped over into the snow, but we are still learning how to drive it. All in all, we got it stuck once and dumped off 3 times. ; -)
Anyway, Cora is working in town right now, Dad is working on the truck, Andrew is working on the van, Mom is sleeping, and I am slowly working on school. Andrew got his new iPod touch (4th gen) today, and he is playing with that whenever he can. ;-)
Some hunters just pulled in the yard, and Dad is out there talking to them now. Now they just left. ;-) Well, I hope that all of you readers will have a good day, I have to go pretty soon, so I will just say goodbye now.
Bye,
Jacob
