Busiest time of year but....

We have a temporary delay.

You deserve a break Sam.

How's caving going?

It's going Richard, maybe 50 head of late cows.

Sam;
Thanks for the video and the weather update contained therein.

The last year we were on the farm '83 I guess it was, the worst snowstorm of the winter was May 8th.

It started around 7:30 or so and by 9:00, I was off the field as I couldn't see where I'd been with the 60' deep tillage cultivator as it was snowing too hard. By noon there were banks 3' high in the yard.

I remember that as I went home for lunch that day, which was a rare thing during spring.

My good wife and I had a coffee and I says to her, "If this farming thing doesn't work out, we should move to southern BC. It's likely past cherry blossom time already and you can get a sun burn out in your short sleeved shirt by now."

Anyways as you know Sam, farming didn't work out, we did move west and the rest is history as they say.

I hope your weather warms up before the Heineken runs out Sam. All the best to you all.

Dwayne

Hahaha!


Glad you are getting some moisture finally.

Dwayne, good to hear from you!


Nice rain turned into a wet snow.

34F on the prairie now.

87F last week.


First decent moisture we've had all year, party time!



Jim, you guys get anything?

Three tenths a couple days ago.

Probably 4 tenths today.

We had our first pair of twins today.

Wish I could send rain your way, enjoy the break

Hope the beer cooler is close by.

whoop whoop

Who plants a bird feeder in the middle of a fire pit......

The Duck

LOL

That is a dam fine firepit......

Yessir.

Just barely spit snow down here..didnt even get a skiff, but high winds and frigging cold....

2/3 maybe halfway buzzed.

Blizzard is over.


9 tenths in da gauge.

Beautiful rain, we needed it.



Party on!

9 tenths!


Greedy fugger!

Home & Garden

Jim, just lucky!

Good sign anyway, hopefully.



SC, my youtube link showed up funny. You could see it?

This rain was a life saver.

Delayed release rain..
Hope tomorrow is truly "easy like Sunday mornin'" for you.

One inch of much needed rain here, Praise the Lord.

Like Sam said....first real moisture of the year.


No water in any of my pits.

This mega drought was caused by global warming and we need to send Al Gore some more money to stop it. Al said Polar bears are going to go extinct in Montana if we all don't start driving electric cars and eat more tofu.

damn, we could have a good time if your old lady would tolerate me.

Look at that manicured yard!

Sammo must be half mexican.

Whenever sam 0 posts a yard video I always wonder if broad leaf weeds are even possible in Montana.....

Too dam much consistency in that grass work......

Luv it Sammo....Luv it.

Ski Chalet in Colorado, with the wife gone!
Break out the Everclear!

Gentlemen, thank you all for the replies.


The grass really is truly amazing, and I appreciate the appreciation.


Da Duck did not mean to appear aloof yesterday but he was preoccupied with a niece, nephew, SIL, wife and of course that delicious skunky brew.


This afternoon is much quieter.


Contemplating drinking beer two days in a row.

And another fire.

I am heading to town for a bottle of Beam and a box of Club crackers.

White or Black label?


I used to love the black.


We have the extra fancy multi-grain Club crackers.

They pair well with a nicely aged cheddar.

Duck

I cant afford no black label.


I was thinking a nice club cracker with arugula and watercress salad.

Oh cry, what's the black, another $4?


Live a little cuzzin'!

Jealous! Man we could use a shot of rain up here. We just barely missed that one. Have not had any moisture since last September. About ready to park this thing and have a whiskey myself.

Pardon my southern Baptist upbringing.....
....Montana has likka stores open on sunday?

Kindly responses only please...

C, you are styling!


Road that rig down and seed our little wheat patch....lol


We had 6-7" of wet snow back in October and until yesterday that was about it.


At least with this last rain there is hope for more.

I bet you a $100 bill that you guys catch a good rain in the next week or two.

Seems like we get one and then you guys get the next one.


Any wheat left in the bin?

Talk about a hot grain market.




SC, pretty sure Jim has a key to the store...lol

Haha alright I’ll road her down. Probably have to wear my neck brace. These damn tracks are rough on roads. Pretty decent in the field tho. It has seemed that in recent years. I get on here and start b**ching and pretty soon we get a little shot. We only grow durum up here. We are sitting on a pretty good amount but seems like wheat is hotter. I think the price is about the same right now, where as durum usually holds a premium. I’m down in that wolf point area some now since my fiancée from there. Will have to swing in some time and have a beer.

I'll do a rain dance for ya....


Might work better if Jim did it though...lol



I'm gonna be snoopy and ask who the lucky lady ought be?

PM if you don't mind telling.



Not to be a downer but I just heard that yesterday a 20 year old college kid home on break suffocated in a fertilizer accident out at Ag Partners.

Sad deal

I’m guessing you’ve earned an ez afternoon Sammy duck!

Ooo! Ooo! Peace out!!

Bender, my woman just made a pair of Margaritas...


Officially off the clock, quack quack....lol

Oh no that is bad news. Wonder what kind of deal that was? Think it was anhydrous? It’s Hannah Hafner. Bill and Shelly Zahradka are her parents. Hannah is a chiropractor in plenrywood now she worked in a scobey with Lund for couple years.

Congrats!

Sorry to hear.......sobering thing....condolences to the family.....

C, I know Bill and Shelly, Hannah is a lot younger than me so I don't know her but you are the lucky one, congrats!


Bill Z is our go to for any electrical questions. Great dude..

Wave at Shelly almost everyday on the highway. They live a few miles down the road from my folks....

And any time I shoot a decent furred up coyote I give Bill a ring and he picks it up.

That man is hell on fricken yotrs....lol



Ask him about the time I put a frozen yote on the top of a stack of round bales. The next morning I found a skinned version in it's place. Right off the highway, Sunday morning, I had to take it down before the church crowd drove by....

Still laugh about that one.


Again, congratulations!

The liquor store may be closed...but the Mint is always open.

Seriously....I have never seen it closed.

Cuzzin, if only you were closer.

Seen it!

Always a little scared one of these days it'll be a brown chicken, brown cow.

It's been a few years, and I could be misremembering, but I believe I have shopped for likka on a Sunday in westbygodvirginia..........at the very least, they were open till 10 pm the other 6 days of the week.

Damn! Sam O...livin' the dream!

Sam is like Tom Sawyer, he makes work look like fun.

I'd much rather have it be April 9th right now compared to a month later.


We'll be the last ones to get done farming, again.




It was so godddamn dry and dusty we put off branding a couple bunches of calves.

Turn out is 5/1 but there is more feed at home now compared to pasture.


Mad dash to get pairs out and wheat in the ground!

Sam, the only race is to be that last one sold out.

Well….GFY! Good for you!

Spousal unit just had strawberry margos.
