I helped some friends clean up the inside of their barn last week and it was cold. They have a Warrior Wellness program with therapy horses for vets and now after several other folks checked their place out it looks like first responders will be included if they so desire. I helped cut some hiking trails last Spring and Summer on their property. When I found out what they were doing I wanted to give back to vets in High Brass' memory. Chad, "High Brass", was a volunteer fireman so the first responders is icing on the cake.

The DewEze bed has sure made feeding round bales better. When I was a kid everyone had either a spike bed or a spike trailer they fed with. Some guys used bale rings to put over the bales and others just dumped them and left them but either way they cattle eat them up a lot better when they’re rolled out. Not near as much hay gets trampled and schit on and not eaten either it seems like. Plus you couldn’t get two bales on a flatbed with a spike. I bet I made 100 bale rings out of tubing in high school Ag shop for the FFA to sell, dang things would rust out in about 2 years, the ones everyone around here uses now if they use one at all are the PVC ones, things are near indestructible it seems.

MAN - have I seen that in the mirror - a bunch! Also learned that when a bale doesn't want to unroll - catch 2nd and hit about 40 - it'll spit hay everywhere! (But, you'd better know your pasture - washed out cow trails SUCK at 40! )

When we first started to get pigs coming in around here we had an old farmer see some in his pasture and chase them to try to run them over since he didn’t have a rifle with him. He said “them damn things must be able to run 50 mph, never could catch them”. He then said he spent about an hour picking up all his “stuff” that had flown off the flatbed while he was barreling across the rutted out pasture at breakneck speed, had a yardsale of stuff scattered out for 1/2 a mile!
I went back the next day and caught one rooting in the hay pile, 270 catches them easier than the Ford 1 ton.

Not until the frost comes out of the ground.
Spring time is a bugger....but usually a quick warm up like this one wont bring the frost out.

You should put a 42" snow blower, some tire chains and some suitcase weights on that lawn tractor. That boy will be busy all day long!

Jim, we live up on the 'hill' above town and it is always around 5 degrees warmer here than on the river bottom. Every morning I can watch the thermometer drop as I drive down the hill. This time of year the bottom is great but every spring when the frost goes out I wish we were up in the hills. Gumbo and flat ground is a pain in the ass, hard to find a dry spot anywhere!

I think I started a tread a while back on accents. Mostly, if you get far enough from where you were raised, people have an accent.
