Another Cold Day

[gcreekrch]

42 below at daybreak, warmed up to a balmy -19c by 1 pm.

Doo Doo Doo Lookin' Out My Back Door
Looking west at daybreak

Doesn't look any warmer out the front door. We are feeding a bunch of cows for a desperado native while he has gone "home" for the winter. The fall calves are his.

Calves waiting for their grain.

The pair we brought home from the neighbors on Saturday. I think if I wean this calf while it is so cold the cow may freeze her bag. They have access to the barn.

One spoiled dog :roll: This is Thomas, he was unaware that I took his picture. He thinks the camera is a gun and hides when he sees it.

My teeth are chattering just looking at your cold pictures. Maybe we should all load up and go visit Kola. We could argue politics and get warmed up with Georgia sunshine and heated conversation. :wink:

I've got one dog who can't cope with windshield wipers... luckily for her, most of her life has been spent in a drought :roll: . Great pics, I'm sure your lost cow is more than happy to be back home, she probably wouldn't have done too great in this cold snap without a few flakes of hay. She sure has been taking good care of her calf.

I have one that's scared to death of pine trees goin by in the windshield. For some reason he thinks he's supposed to look UP while goin down the road. And when he does that, he then tries to climb under/behind me via my arm pit.

Weather no northern wind for us much different than when I lived in Wyoming. Got a skift of sleet and a little ice on the windsheild. It stayed at 19 all day but may get up to a blamy 35 tomorrow. Skim of ice on the waters chiped that out with my trusty plyers and lettin one water of drip tonight. I think It will be good enogh to get 2 ton to bull feed tomorrow in Willow Springs.

Yeah, ya'll would find out that you really like me and then it'd be like getting rid of a pack of ratz.....you NEVER get rid of them all.


Nope....not gonna fall for that one......not this Southern red neck liberal gal (with a loaded shotgun and .357 with hollow points.) :wink: :wink:

well, Soap...you just made freezing to death look a whole lot better

 

[I Luv Herfrds]

Oh c'mon Kola that 75 is looking pretty good right about now. We got about 5 above zero today and it is suppose to be a balmy 15 above tomorrow. Then we are suppose to drop below zero again.
You'll never even know we are there. :wink:

 

[Blkbuckaroo]

Was +10 yesterday,+3 this morning possibly gonna get into the minus degrees range :shock: So much for sunny California :? Animals think they might like to visit Kola too. 8) :wink:

 

[the_jersey_lilly_2000]

It's 42 and foggy here this mornin. Won't be back into the 70s till tomorrow.

 

[kolanuraven]

9:55 AM here.......68F.....and I've got the French doors open onto the
screen porch.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
We got about 8" of rain over the last few days...everything is SOPPY!!!

 

[gcreekrch]

A pleasant -22c this morning, refreshing snow and a delightful cooling breeze.

 

[Anonymous]

Only -7 here this morning, with a prediction of getting up to +8 or 10... But the wind is blowing 10-15 mph giving us a chill factor of -25 ---and then they are predicting for it to really start dropping again Friday- down into the -20 to -25 range again

I need to get some old mares off the prairie up north...If I can round up some help I might do that today during the heat wave...

An East Texas dog afraid of pine trees; that's like an ant scared of sand or a fish with hydrophobia, a New Yorker afraid of people, etc.

Only -20C here this morning. Gonna be a regular heatwave up to -13C by this afternoon. I've spent the last 2 days fixing a steering box and shaft on the feed truck, so now that it's out of the shop, I'll probably try and get the tractor going in the afternoon heat, and get it in the shop. Need to change the oil and such, which will be a good job for the weekend when it's supposed to go back down in the -30's. Days like that I thank my Dad for building a heated shop in '82. Sure makes things nice for service work.

Do you run synthetic oil in the wintertime? I didn't until three years ago because it is so expensive but the tractors sure start lots better since I changed my thinking.

 

[cowsense]

Synthetic oil ain't expensive.......it's an investment; quite often the difference between starting or not in extreme cold and the better lubrication in cold conditions should help the engine last longer. We've got almost every diesel engine on the place changed to synthetic for the winter................if I could turn a decent price out of cattle I'd change the hydraulic systems over too!!
