Morning boys.  I wish that was my million dollar ticket.  We have 31 here so far.   Gonna be a nice but windy day I believe.  We survived Christmas and the ham was great.  Have some great leftovers now.  May make a soup for the weekend.  JB I would like to binge watch Landman too.  I did watch the first couple of them.  The lawyer is hot!  Well you all have a good one.

Mornin all, 32 now with a Dense Fog Advisory in effect 'til 9 & we might see 39. After some fruit pizza, cheesecake, & a round or 2 of homemade ice cream our group started to breakup yday about 3. Then we were on the road by 3:30 & back to town by 4:30. Some R&R after that. Nothin big on my list for today, so I'll probably go look for an open treadmill after a bowl of cornflakes. 'Bout it here, have a good day.

[LPS]

Homemade ice cream sounds good.  I may have to do that too.

Going to try to finish the base for my meat processing cabinet today. I do have a set of 3" caster wheels for it too to make it easy to move around. It's an old sink base with a cabinet and drawer on each side along with an 68" counter-top on top. The plan is to put a 2x6s on edge on top of 2x4s with the wheels attached to the 2x4s and the cabinet sitting on top of the 2x4s. Should stiffen the whole works up and make it portable. Had a good time yesterday with a "naughty tee shirt" present exchange. I wish I could post pictures but some were "R" rated. For an example one had on it "Santa used to say 'Hey, Hey, Hey'.... until he met your mother". We are planning on doing it again next year, I'm sure it will get a bit more graphic. Later.....

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 32 at choretime, heading for a high in the upper 30's. Misty & cloudy again today but I'll take that over the crap we've had some years in December. Trying to avoid putting the chains on the tractor as long as I can. Need to get a few small squares today to tide us over until next week & see if the weather will melt the snow. If it doesn't get icy, can bring in hay & bedding if that's the case w/o resorting to using chains. Worst part is unless the blacktop is snow packed or icy, you have to take them off if traveling any distance on it. Have to take it pretty slow too unlike some of the maniac drivers in these parts. Should put another bale in the lot soon & readjust the one feeder as the ewes aren't hitting that bale like they should. Knee is stiff & sore again today. Not making me feel real ambitious about tossing bales, jumping on and off tractors, etc.

I can finally get back on here.  The local cable company had some issued the last few days.  Takes so long to get the site up that it kept kicking me out.  Then the pages were all discombobulated.  Couldn't even see what was what.  Good to be back in action.  Mark that T shirt thing sounds like a blast.  LOL  SO JB, where did you get Landman from?   May want to watch it this weekend if we don't light up our huge brush/wood pile in the pasture.  I will have to bring out a couple of round bales in about a week for Bucko too.  Will take half hour tops.  Not as high pressure as your operation Dotch.  LOL

LPS, we watched Landman on Paramount plus. The daughter got it and added us to it. So we were able to stream it on our Roku.

Morning fellers. 32 and a wee bit foggy.  Waiting till daylight then setting up on the cabin lake for the duration of my stay.

Got some nuisance mice in the big shed and outdoor biffy, messing with the paper products.  they seem to not want the poison  so the ole victor traps and peanut butter trick is set.

[Gunner55]

Mornin boys, 41 for our start & we should end up around 43. Got some light rain & another Dense Fog Advisory. The rain is s'posed to quit from ~ 8 until noon but then it looks like rain for the rest of the day here. That should take care of the little snow we have left. Another roll with it kind of day for me. Have a good day.

[mike89]

mornin all, 34 and foggy here too..  might see 38 today they say..  got a few things going on for today but nothing pressing..  would be nice to see some sun today too..  have a good day all!! 

[LPS]

Morning boys.  We are still having internet/tv problems here.  Finally got in here.  We have 34 now and should see 40 today.  Keep it coming.  The radio said rain/snow north of the border today.  The deck is getting the ice melted away better every day.  May as well let Mother Nature clean it up.  You all have a great day.  TGIF!

[markn]

My meat counter is done. Sure was nice to have a loader to get the wheels attached on the bottom. My only complaint is it might be too high. We'll see. Should clean out the corner in the garage where all the boxes and other crap has been accumulating. Then a fire in the barrel along with a couple of beers. Think I may go downstairs and see if the reloader is operational too. Be nice to have 50-60 boxes of 1oz reloads for league trap next Summer. Later.......

[Jerkbiat]

Looks like a nice setup Mark!
Morning boys. TGIF! 36 here and heading for 37 it says. A little bit foggy here, but nothing terrible. Grandson and his fiance made it here about 11:30 last night  I waited up for them. Sent the wife off to work this morning then took a nap until about 8. Went out a filled the wood stove and did a couple other chores. Going to head out shortly and get the fish house ready while the kids are still sleeping. I am off of work now until Monday the 6th. Have a good one boys.

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 38 at choretime, heading for a high in the low 40's. Rain showers overnite, amounting to .11" at the ranch & .20" in Bugtussle. More passing showers for today & tonite. Should eliminate most of the snow by the time it's out of here tonite. Last nite, got another round bale put in the lot & a few more small squares to tide us over. Wouldn't have needed them yet if the neighbor's fire hadn't got away and burned a chunk of pasture there back in Oct. Still have one more holiday delivery to make yet hopefully today. Get some gas so I can get ready to haul chit. Fun never stops around here...    

[mike89]

[LPS]

I am still having problems with our cable co.  Good guys too.  Also that changes the look of the page to me and all of the text is in orange and I can't read a thing.  Just an FYI.

that's messed up big time!!  good luck!!! 

[markn]

Well there's one more corner in the garage that needs to be cleaned up for Winter and that's the one with all of the brooms, shovels and junk piled up in it. Might have to find one of them "organizers" at FF or Harbor Freight. Reloaded 50-60 shells yesterday and a small adjustment to the primer appears to be the only adjustment needed. Hopefully the trap range is open tomorrow and I can try a couple of boxes. Have a great everyone, later......

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 37 here and only supposed to make it to 32 today.  Guess that is the high. Going to wake up the grandson and head out fishing soon. Lots of snow melting has been going on the last couple of days. We had a nice fish fry last night. Going to do a ham today. Have a good one boys.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, 36 now & we're headed back to 43 again. Foggy again too, but no alert posted for today. Did have a friend come home from Rochester airport mid-afternoon yday & he said that that wasn't a real fun drive because of the fog. It did rain here just about all day, so we might've came close to the totals they were predicting, which was ~.8". Iowa State plays their bowl game today, so I'll catch that. Not much else on the agenda, have a great day.

[mike89]

mornin all, 29 here and of course foggy...  could see 35 today..  really don't have much going on today..  grill some burgers for lunch today..   have a good day all!! 

[LPS]

Morning boys.  I can see you clearly now.  Before the text was all against the boards in the background and I couldn't read it.  I hope it all stays good now.  We have 35 and I got the deck all cleared off yesterday and I can feel it today.  I see the river is getting darker.  Spring is getting closer.  LOL  We have NFL today don't we?  Well now I can relax all day. 

[LPS]

It is just starting to get foggy here.

[Gunner55]

No NFL here today as it's all NFL Network only today. 

[LPS]

The first two games are only AFC so no loss there Gunner.  LOL 

[Dotch]

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 32 at choretime, heading for a high in the mid-40's. .59" of rain the past 24 hrs. at the ranch. Fog has burned off and it's sunny, finally. Gotta fuel up the tractor & skidsteer, make a feed run then see about enjoying being outdoors on what looks more like a late October or early November day. Got my holiday deliveries made yesterday & talked to neighbor Jon about the remaining wheel weights. He said bring the tractor & weights down & he'd figure out something. It has an oil leak he was going to fix anyway. Before I get carried away on trying to clean barns, get hay, etc. it'd be nice to have the extra weight on the tractor & ground frozen again. Appears that'll happen over the next week or so. No rest for the wicked...  

[LPS]

Ok I gave in and we now have Paramount+ Showtime.  Now we can binge Landman.   As cool as JB!!!  LOLOL
