Hi guys,
Yesterday, Mom went up to Bismarck; Cora went to work in town; and Dad, Andrew, and I stayed home and worked on the greenhouse that we are putting up on the side of our building. We also went with Andrew to load up a ATV, but I'll let him tell you about that...
We have got all of the rafters up on the greenhouse, and it is actually starting to look like something now! We are going to be putting up the boards that hold them all together today, and probably build some end walls, too.
For all you Farming Simulator guys, (if I have any), I have discovered the original Farming Simulator! It is called "SimTractor", and it really does have some good functions, but the graphics are lacking. :-( If you want to download the demo, or read about it, visit the website here: http://www.simtractor.com/ Gotta go.
See you guys later, Jacob

Yuck, Mud!
Hi guys,
Yuck, we are right in the middle of the muddy season. :-( Now when we go out to chores, or go outside, we always put on those big, heavy overshoes, and then they get all covered with mud, and pretty soon you are carrying 5 extra pounds around!
Our latest project is making a greenhouse on the side of our building that we have been putting up. We have got the frame for around the bottom built, and now we have to stake it down. They we will start putting up the frame, and so on...
Yesterday, we built a pair of front fenders for our 4-wheeler, as the ones that came with were pretty much non-existent, and you always got mud thrown up into your face, so we took some old tin from an old dryer, and bent it into shape, and now we have some fenders! Anyway, gotta go.

Stuck. :-(
Hi guys,
Yep, I'm back again, and I don't know what to write, so expect some rambling in this post... I was just on the Agricultural Simulator forum, and they said that the next patch is in testing now, so that shouldn't be very far away, now.
Anyway, yesterday, Mom left for Bismarck to do sessions; Cora left for work; and Dad, Andrew, and I went over to Hazelton to pull out the truck that got stuck the night before. First we had to fix a tire on the loader tractor that was over there, so we did that, and then we went out to the truck.
When we got out there, I found that the truck was high-centered on a thick snow drift, and under the snow drift was sheet ice. Well, eventually, the maintainer guy came along, and we borrowed his tow rope, and we pulled just the truck out, and then we dug more snow away from the trailer, and then we hooked the truck back up again, and then we pulled the truck and trailer out. That was yesterday in a nutshell. Anyway, time to go.
Bye, Jacob

The Circus
Hi guys,
How is everybody doing today? We are all doing fine. This morning, Dad said that we had four new calves! We had to get one of the cows in the barn this morning, as it was rather nasty out this morning, and the cow didn't really want to go...
Last Saturday, we had a pleasant surprise! Andrew and I were playing on our computers, when Dad came into our room, and said that we were going up to Bismarck for lunch! We went to our favorite place, and after that, Cora took us to the Circus!!!
It was a lot of fun, but I will let Cora tell you about it in detail. Anyway, is everybody ready for the muddy season? I know that I am not looking forward to it. Anyway, It is time for me to go now, so I will say goodbye, and I will talk to you all later.
Bye, Jacob B.

News and PC games...
Hi guys, what's up?
Not much is going on right here, as Cora left for her friends house early this morning; Mom left for Bismarck early this morning; Dad is pushing some snow around; Andrew is heading out the door to work on the tractor, and I am doing school... ;-(
'
This morning, there was a lot of frost on the fences and everything, and, although I don't like winter all that much, it was a pretty sight. Anyway, what do people think about the oncoming muddy situation? I know I am not looking forward to it.
By the way, if you are interested in Agricultural Simulator, here is a link to a video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aw-pAU12A4 Be warned, it takes a fairly high-powered PC to run this game at any amount of quality. Note about video: really dumb music,so i suggest muting.

Snow again. :-(
Hi guys,
How are you all doing today? We are doing fine, although we don't really like the weather. :P It was so nasty last night that Cora stayed in town. She got home earlier, but now she is going to go down to help some friends that just had a baby...
We got rain and snow yesterday, but the snow was more like miniature hail then snow. You could just watch it come down and bounce off the ground. :-( And then when we wanted to go out to chores, the door was froze shut. :P
Cora just came in and said that she is not going to go down to her friends today, as the roads are still too nasty, so she is going to get up early in the morning and go, so don't expect much from her blog for a few days. Anyway, I had better get going.

Mud... :-(
Hi guys,
How are you all doing today? When I woke up, it was raining, and that means that we are going to be getting even more mud, and I think that everybody here would agree that we have too much mud already. :-(
Do any of my readers think that they have too much mud already?
Anyway, some more news about that game. It is actually unfinished now, but they are working on a new patch for it, and I think that should be the final patch. The game is actually set in the Swiss Alps, so a very pretty map, but all of the tractors and combines are made by Claas, a German brand, so that's not very American.
The game does still have some bugs in it, like not being able to buy the other farms, and grass stuff that was supposed to come with the game, but they say that will all be fixed in the new patch. All in all, it is a good game that still has a few bugs in it yet, but definitely worth buying if you have some spare cash... Anyway, I had better go.
