Merry Christmas everyone. 4 above this morning. Snow just about ready to start here. Supposed to snow pretty much all day. Stop overnight and then start again tomorrow.

Just the 2 of us today. Kids are all at the other side of their family today. Peaceful day. Get to watch Puckers lose this afternoon.

Merry Christmas boys!!! -4 here this morning going for 5 above I think. Nice score there Mark!. Just the 2 of us here today too. Nice and peaceful. I may fish later. We shall see. I will at least need to go out some blocking under the house today. With all the drifting it was starting to push water up yesterday. Well you boys and your families have a Merry Christmas!

Morning boys. Just got in from graining the horses and getting a fire going in the garage.  Was down to 40 since I didn't fire it up yesterday.  Gives me something to do and a little exercise.  We baked a huge batch of cookies yesterday and they turned out great.  May be the best I ever had.  Just gonna take it easy today and cook our ham up.  Was thinking about putting it in the smoker but not sure yet.  It is a 9.5 lb one. Smoker goes up to 250.  Bobb do you put your ham face down in a pan in the smoker.  I would think that would save some juices.  Wondering how long mine would take.  I'm thinking 4 hours. ??  Well you all have a great day and stay safe if you are on the roads.  Merry Christmas to all.  Hope the Packers lose too!

morning fellers...........quiet day here too!!!!!! well except for the 3 dogs!!!!!!!

tommorrow the kids come for christmas.

tem sure was a change from yesterday morning, still tolerable though!!!!!!!

[Bobberineyes]

I normally do cut down in a roasting pan lps, this one is a whole ham. Hoping at 225 to hit 130 or 135 internal temp at 4 hrs or so. If not so be it.

[glenn57]

we are doing a ham this year, for tommorrow also, but momma's in charge of that and its going in the oven today. we will thorw it in a crock pot to reheat tommorrow. mom always did that and still turned out nice and moist!!!!!!!

Brown Sugar & Honey makes a great glaze on ham or use it as a sauce.

Merry Christmas gang! 20 at choretime heading for a high in the low 30's.  Got the last 5 loads of chit hauled yesterday so am kicking back today, sort of. Adjusted the hay feeders, picked up 4 million sticks & filled the bird feeders. Watching Dr. Pol with Ruby. She growls or barks at every dog & there are lots of them. Lots of odd jobs to finish this afternoon. T bones on the grill for dinner! Going to sear them 1st...

[LPS]

Funny Glenn, we like Dr. Pol too.

[roony]

Merry Christmas. Home is nice and toasty with our new high priced furnace. Having a Hillshire Farms bone in ham, porcupine meat balls and a smoked turkey. We will live on leftovers into the new year. S brown Christmas is ok with me.

I'd gladly take some if the wind came out of the south.

[mike89]

dont help when mayfield looks like he's playing for the  puckers!!!!!!!!

[deadeye]

Very nice rig there markn.  My guess is there's a cab in your future.. after the first time you blow snow when it's 10 degrees and a strong wind blowing. 

[Dotch]

I'd agree deadeye. Could depend on summer use plans I imagine. Removable soft side cab might be an option. Never had a cab until 3 years ago. Heat housers were the best I could do. No regrets. Have to peel clothes off now as opposed to freezing & looking like a powdered donut. No style points for that. 

[mike89]

mornin all, 9 here this morning..  not sure what I have on the agenda today, but I'll know when it gets here..  maybe even get it done..  sure not looking forward to the wind and snow tonight...  oh well..   have a good day all!!   

[roony]

Good Morning! My mom's 93rd birthday today so we will go see her at the Care Center. I just wish she got more enjoyment out of life but I fully understand why she doesn't. Otherwise, having lunch with my son and his family and seeing them off to KC. This evening a relaxed few beverages with the warden.

[mike89]

birthday wish's to you Mom roony!!!
