Hey guys,
Not much new going on here today, Dad's going down to Harried SD to watch the cow sale, Mom's working on a client right now, Cora's babysitting at the (other) neighbor's place, Andrew's posting BisMan ads, and I'm working on school...
Yesterday was a bit of a different story though. Dad and I moved the rest of the hay home (rest of story coming in a bit); Mom and Andrew went up to Bismarck again; and Cora stayed home... 8o :P
Anyway, Dad and I went over to get the first load of hay in the morning. He took the semi and flatbed and I took Andrews '08 RAM 2500 with his car trailer so that I could take home the odd 7 bales that wouldn't fit on the regular semi load.
Well, on my way back...
Yep, I jackknifed 'er down in the ditch. It's a long story, but more or less I was coming too fast into a turn and the trailer broke the back end of the pickup loose and took 'er right down the ditch sideways...
It's a long story. If you guys want I can explain the whole thing in a comment, so let me know guys.
TTYL, Jacob B.

Cows :(
Hello,
Today we (Dad, Andrew & I) went up to our pasture to fix the fence; put electric fence up; & to move the cows into their new cell. As Dad & I came over a hill, we saw 2 cows, a bull, & 2 calves about a mile from where they should be.
After about 15 minutes of chasing, we had the bull, 1 cow & 1 calf going the right way, but the other cow & calf were running in any direction that we didn't want them to go. That was what the cow was always doing. Well, about half way through chasing her through the neighbor's sunflower field, Andrew joined us. We got her in the right place, & then went to work on the fence.
While we were down by the water, which is just a lake in the middle of nowhere, we wanted to take some posts out of the water. Seeing as we don't have a boat, we couldn't take them out. Then Andrew found a duck boat that some hunting friends of ours have, & they said we could use it whenever we wanted to. So, Andrew & I went out on the water & brought in the posts. I have a picture of us in the boat, but it isn't on the computer, so I will put it on later.
Well, I better get going,
Jacob

Hello again.
Hi everyone,
It has been raining hard today so I am in the house & have nothing better to do, so I thought I would post. We had a campfire on the 5th & Mom likes her marshmallows fried to a crisp, but sometimes it doesn't quite work out for her. Someone got this picture* and I decided to put it on my blog, just to show how crisp she likes her food
