That eagle was hungry!

Jim, that eagle was probably thinking about taking off with both Daniel boy and the rabbit.......

Until he looked up and noticed Sasquatch Man lumbering over his way!

Everyday we spend a couple extra hours and work on tearing down the straw mound.

I believe it was Wednesday when I had gotten out of the old 4450 and was picking up some loose twine while my dad grabbed a bale for the road with the processor tractor.

As he was pulling the bale off the stack I happened to notice movement in some loose straw about 30' feet away. A second later a big ass bushy cat the size of a small wolverine came smokin' out of the straw and was headed right at me! I was thinking WTF and started backing up towards the pickup(where the heeler was sitting going absolutely nuts BTW...). All of a sudden the sonuvabitchin' cat stopped, looked right at me and does a 180 before bounding across the snow in the other direction.

He must have been temporarily snowblind or something...


Of course my dad saw the 'charge' and had to give me chit.

Just tell 'em you gots skeelz!

Do any of you'se guys do winter chore olympics? Specifically haybale curling?

Thanks for that! I damn near hurt myself laughing.

That’s a lot of snow

Not sure what I would do with that

Jim, I just saw that on youtube recommended...

Need to keep better track of the 'Fire.


Holy chit, I am DONE whining!



P.S


The Honda is dying.



Don, was that you?!



Rancho was texting me yesterday evening whining about the record snowfall for Bozeman.......

107" so far?



The wind kicked up and it a was a mini ground blizzard even down on the river bottom yesterday evening.

The hills are always 2-3x worse!

The roads are all closed here.


Was not able to make it to the cows today. Fed them extra yesterday.

Got a lot of work to do next couple of days to get dug out of this mess.


Some places on the highway are 7 foot deep now, across both lanes.....500 yards long.


The State snowplow man said the State is broke.....limiting hours.

What's wrong with the Honda?????

Feel for you boys. 60 degrees here today. Changed the oil in wifey's Mountaineer and it was downright hot in the sun.

East Glacier has had 237.5 "of snow as of Thursday. Friend texted me from there and said it was blowing 50mph and snowing again today.

Y'all need to start burning more tires, get this global warming thing kicked into high gear.



Ed

We saw the plows going out yesterday on a Saturday afternoon and I figured it was blowing around pretty good.

Broke our short trail down to river bottom cows with a tractor with a tractor this morning.

It's warming up enough that the packed snow trails are gonna get soft soon(aka stuck).


Which is a good problem, hope it stays that way!






Honda runs fine with no load but when you flip the switch it bogs down and wants to die.


The ol' Briggs and Stratton acted the same way and it had a burned valve.



I'd guess under 500 hours on the Honda engine.


Ran fine all winter in the cold and now first warm day and it's fuucked up.



Ethan, last year it was in the 40-50's around here most all February, ol mother nature!...

Nice shots Sam..

Da Honda lives!

The pump was actually going bad and finally konked out. Not a generator issue.
(yesterday)





At least it was a nice day for swapping out.
(easy pull, only 50-60' and a little 1/2 horse pump)

Took about an hour.

Of course the cows acted like they hadn't had a drink in 3 days.

Thanks for sharing!! That Snow, not sure what I would do with that!

Simon, I know the deer are tired of it! Hopefully it starts melting away sometime soon.

One of three resident deer herds. They pick up any scraps that the cows miss.

Man that's a good shot of your dog.
