Afternoon gang! 12 at choretime with falling temperatures the remainder of the day. Got another couple inches of snow overnite. Melted out to .09" of liquid equivalent precip. Snow removal mode this morning after chores. Tractor wouldn't start at first (bad connection) so that pi$$ed me off. Froze my asset on the skidsteer for about an hour as the NW wind steadily came up. Working that T-bar, my hands got so cold I could barely hold a wrench to work on the connection to the tractor solenoid. Sprayed the snot out of it w/WD 40 after I loosened the nut. Tightened 'er back up & she took right off. Needs to be cleaned up & that treatment repeated on a warmer day. Much warmer sitting in the tractor cab. Faster too. Got the yard whipped back into shape in no time after that. Prepared to unload straw or can punt on it until I'm damn good and ready.

22 below here to start the day. The warden has the day off so she's got cinnamon rolls in the oven so I'll go in for some breakfast soon. Otherwise I'm working on keeping things warm. Probably going to Bugtussle around noon to see mom. Keep warm everybody.

Morning boys. -20 right now. Looking forward to -8 for the high. Not going to do much here today neither. Cooper is having a hard time having fun with it so cold. By the time he comes in his feet are cold. Will make a few more trips to the garage for him today.

roony always gets the best cold weather...
Mornin' gang! -20 at choretime heading for a high around -5. Low was -20 in Owatonna & -17 in Albert's Leaf. Punted on heading into Bugtussle today. Have a print deadline to meet before noon. Internet's working here so can't think of a good reason to be in the office. Could feel a little more bite to the air last nite at 10 p.m. lamb check. Put on a little heavier layers for chores this a.m. Stayed warm but my fingertips were starting to feel it about the time we finished up. Like the sound of that hot oatmeal markn. If oats are good for the sheep they gotta be good for the shepherd.

Morning boys. -21 here this morning and like LPS said only supposed to get to -10 for a high today. I am being lazy this morning. Just laid in bed watching the birds outside on the feeder and some football highlights on youtube. Sent the wife off to work this morning. I would have gone back to work today, but any day I don't have to wear a mask. I am taking it. Well, time to make something for breakfast. Have a good one boys.

[/quote] This is the ordeal we have to go through when it gets this cold. Our dog get cold feet very fast, and starts lifting his feet off the ground, then lays down. If we don’t use boots with socks we sometimes have to bring him out a couple times.

how long are you required to wear one JB. there not requiring it at the grocery store!!!! Forever the way it seems. They play the stupid game of shot or no shot when the mask go away. Right now everyone has to wear them but it will eventually go back to if you have the shot you can stop wearing them. I have been wearing the mask, or should I call it the chin diaper since spring of 2020 at work. They keep buying into all the
. Even when Full circle Fauci says the mask aren't working now again. Guess that's what happens when millennials are running the company.
