Snow
The kids are excited. It is sort of like Christmas.
Pretty pathetic snow if you ask me and probably Ralph Goff!
Well its a start Budde. You have a ways to go to catch up though. I think we are close to knee deep in the sheltered areas already. I suspect there will be a lot of energy spent moving snow this winter. Both renewable and non-renewable. Great for snowmobiling.
Colliegy, yes indeed it will be quite nasty soon. This is the end of the no-till planting I suppose.
Ralph, This is something I have no problem with you staying ahead of me on. We are setting somewhat of a mini-record. Last time it was this cold was in 1985 (i think they said)
I blame it all on Global Warming, I mean Global Climate change, I mean George Bush, or those darn tea party folks.
Resist the urge to get on a tractor! 27 degrees and the ground is still muddy. When it freezes I can at least take the Jeep out and cut some more oak for firewood as while I thought I had enough, it's going fast this year.
I was NOT excited when the snow started falling last night. It makes Christmas tree harvest kind of a ....... well....difficult. Trees freeze to truck beds, employees can't (or don't want to) show up for work, snow blows in your face while you are hooking bundles of trees to the helicopter, trucks don't show up, you get the picture. Today went pretty well considering it all!
Orin are you feeling grinch-like? My neighbor was hauling trees on Belfountain road and said he saw White tractors, but none with a special radiator screen. I told him to wave anyway.
I'm not feeling nearly as Grinch-like now as I was last week. Baler issues nearly sent me to the local laughing academy. I think I once read in a Ken Kesey book that there's a really good one somewhere near Eugene!
White tractors on Bellfountain Road? No rotary screen? Hmmmmm. Don't know who that might be. Bellfountain Road is only about 18 miles long and I thought I knew all the tractors on it.
Orin, I think it is called, Sometimes a Great Insane Asylum? So you have not seen a 2-155 FWA next door? I think this guy just dreams stuff out of his bottom.
Red GMC day cab flat front tandem with a silver stripe and black racks. Perhaps the truck has been seen in some silage photos. You wouldn't happen to know where there is a dead series 3 2-155 or bigger white with a good three speed just setting around for sale really cheap would you? Didn't think so...
hope you didn't meet him the day he blew out a front tire, that sounded exciting. If you see him tell him to go home and apply his round-up I need to finish planting so I can put the drill away. (Well, I suppose I am finished whether I want to be or not at this point in time!)
You just type your comment in the text box below the post. You can be anyone you want. And...Would the joker who keeps clicking "offensive" please leave an explanation ?!

Looks like mud in the larval stage.

They say anything's possible here the next few days, so I had the studded tires put on the pickup and my wife's little car today.

ReplyDeleteSo you have not seen a 2-155 FWA next door? I think this guy just dreams stuff out of his bottom.
There IS a 2-155 2WD on Greenberry Road. Maybe he saw that?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of truck should I be looking for?

ReplyDeleteI think I met him the other day on Dawson Road.
ReplyDeleteNegatory on the three speed.
