Hey guys!
I was having some "fun" this afternoon... I went around the pasture fence today, getting the electric fence working again, as spring is almost here, and the cows are getting restless... There were enough bad spots to keep me busy... ;) It wasn't fun working in the rain though...
Today was our local farm machine dealer's customer appreciation day, so Dad and I went down there, bought some stuff, and got a free meal! :D After that, I came home and started working on the fence project....
This morning, Andrew went down to Elendale to continue cleaning grain down there; Cora went baby sitting again; Mom wasn't feeling very good, so she laid in bed for a while; and Dad and I worked on finishing up Dad's grain cleaner.
Yesterday, Andrew and I started work on Cora's 2004 Dodge Stratus that she bought to have Andrew fix up... Yeah, long story, but the engine is in bad shape right now... I have the feeling that it will be sitting for a while too, now that we are in farming season again.;)
Time to go again, Jacob B;)

Grain Cleaning Season has hit!
Hi guys,
Over the past couple of days, us guys have been working helter-skelter trying to get the grain cleaners ready for the new season. Last night, Dad and Andrew stayed up till 10:00 PM getting Andrew's cleaner ready to roll!
Both Dad and Andrew are out for the first day of cleaning today. Recently, Andrew bought himself a semi-truck to pull his grain cleaner! He bought a 1983 International day cab truck for $3500, which is a very inexpensive truck! :)
Two days ago, Mom and I took my pickup up to Bismarck to run some errands, and to get my front wheels aligned, as that needed doing now that I have my new front end installed... :D We had some troubles with it on the road though. I think an oxygen sensor blew, making the computer mess up the fuel mixture...
I also discovered that it looses oil slowly, so we are gonna have to figure out what's happening there... :( Anyway, I got a picture of me with it after my drive. I have to go now, mom wants me for a session I guess... ;) Here's the picture, Jacob B. ;)

Super Tuesday...
Hi guys,
Yesterday, Dad; Mom; and Andrew went up to Bismarck to do some errands, and Dad had a dentist appointment. Dad had 8 teeth pulled on the same day! Ouch! They got home around 2:00, and then Andrew and I worked on his car.
That project is coming along well. We got it pretty much back together yesterday afternoon, and Andrew is working on it right now... We got it to the stage where you could start it up if you put water in and changed the oil yesterday, so not a whole lot to do on that one. ;)
I think my pickup might me the next project in line. :D Anyway, today, the rest of the family well be going to the caucus. I think Dad and Mom are going to one and Andrew and Cora are going to a different one? I don't know... :P
If you didn't know, our family, or some of the members thereof, have gotten active in the Ron Paul campaign. That is the main reason for going to 2 different caucuses. I am going to stay home and do the chores tonight... ;) Well, time to go again.
See ya all later, Jacob B. ;)

Vehicle buying spree!
Hi guys.
The last week was really interesting, especaily to me... :D The reason for that is..... I bought a pickup! :D Off hand, I don't have any pictures of it, but I will try to get you all some soon. ;) It is a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500, very similar to Andrew's really, just 2 years older. :)
I bought that on Thursday, knowing that I would have to work on it... On Friday, Dad; Andrew; and Cora went down to Selby SD to pick up a 2004 Dodge Stratus for Cora, as she needs a vehicle to drive to work, now that her van got sold...
Yesterday, Andrew went up to Dawson to pick up another Dodge Intrepid, this one is a 2001 model. This one might just be for parts, or it might end up being fixed. Don't know yet... I have been working on my school work some today as well... :(
Later today. I just got in from chores, and I had been helping Andrew work on his stratus most of the afternoon. We made pretty good progress today on that project. Well, dinner will be ready in a little bit now, so I am off again.
See ya later, Jacob. :D

News of the week. ;)
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.

...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
