Si Senor!

I bet Jim had fun today.

It was snowin' and blowin' here, imagine it was a great time out in the hills!

Haha! Sounds natural.



I dont sound funny to youse guys......do I?



Hired man hauled hay yesterday so it would not take so long to feed.


Be another fun day tomorrow.

Jim, these drifts are starting to get halfway hard.

I'm sure you are well aware......grin



Getting around in the pickup is getting a little harder.....

I thought you guys were from Montana, not Minnesota

Exactly!


People from Minnesota(and eastern North Dakota) have accents. And people from Wisconsin as well.


People from Montana do not. Unless maybe you're from the Rez.......

Great videos Jim and Sam! But vees gotz no accents ova here.

Yes

lmao sam , i speak texan, universally accepted.

Always, you might have an accent.



Roger, for the last 15-20 years our local rodeo has had the same announcer. He does a helluva job and has the smoothest accent of all time. Claims to be from Texas.

Wasn't going to the REZ talk but now that you mention it, sounds like slow Minnesota

Texan should be the required speak for the airport announcers

I do.

Funny. Talk about accents. I was in Mitchell, SD one time for work. The next morning I went down to the continental breakfast at the hotel and there were some couples in there with Harley gear on. It was Sturgis time so I said to one lady "heading to Sturgis huh?"

She said "wuuut"

I said "heading to Sturgis?"

She said "I'm sawyyyy darlinnn, I'm frim albama. I canet unnerstan a wird u say"

You guys talk about like we do. Maybe a little slower though.

Instead of finding and fixing my tire chains....I have no idea where they are.....I went out and bought a three point bale unroller from John Deere.


I will be able to pack a bale on the loader and one on the unroller.

I sure as hell dont trust this winter to get a whole lot better. Should be able to do what I damn please then.

Where my cows are now has been 10 degrees warmer than at home here. Bare patches of ground. Back out grazing....until today of course.

We hauled hay out there to take some of the miles out of feeding them. Kinda glad I did not bring them home now.

The snow is still a foot deep here at home and you cant get around. Getting around pretty good were they are now.



More snow and cold tomorrow, then warm up a bit I guess.

Then another system next week.

I guess the birds and the buffalo berry bushes were right this year......

We're smack dab in the middle of a blizzard. Tried going to work today and found that decision was just plain foolish. I had to turn around because I couldn't see past the front of my truck hood.

What did they predict? What did you notice behavior-wise?

We were fighting fire out South in the hills this fall and a oldtimer friend of mine stopped by to chat.

He pointed out that the buffalo berry bushes were loaded down with fruit. He said that was a sign that the birds got the hell out if Dodge while the getting was good, before a tough winter

Normally the birds stick around to eat the buffalo berry and Russian olive and then head south. This year they just high tailed it.


Thinking about it later he was right. We had a fairly bird free fall. They were gone before our first bad storm in October.

Blanket and Rooster, slow Minnesota?


Slow Minnesota?!


Da fuuck you say!




My wife is not from these parts and for the life of me I still have one helluva time understanding her turbo west coast dialect. Slow down woman and enunciate!




Jim, same deal here with the buffalo berries. We noticed last summer that they were loaded up like never before. The bushes were literally red.


Good luck with that 3 point unroller. If you have fairly loose and or dry bales it should work great.

I'm having trouble getting the last half of some alfalfa bales to unroll with the pickup. Tight core balers, just a little too much moisture and they are sticky. Great feed but somewhat difficult to get rolled out. Of course the snow doesn't help either. Some of them are going to have to get run through a processor.
