Well, it looks like my blog can no longer be viewed from work… it is now blocked and classified as “Alcohol”. lol! The content filter must’ve picked up on my “Cheap Beer Playoffs” post and has now screened me out. Nice…
Right now we are buried under about 9″ of accumulated snow. It started last Friday/Saturday with a couple of inches, then dropped another 7-8″ on us Tuesday night and into last night. Now they are saying we could get a little more Friday night and possible a good one Sunday night, depending on how the system sets up. That would be crazy, because we are already nearly 4″ over our seasonal average for snow, and this is about to go down as the coldest February since 1978. Kind of cool, though, because my kids are the same age I was back then, and I still remember that winter.
I actually have a pretty nasty cold right now, but I’m hopeful that it’s on it’s way out. I’ve taken off two days from work this week, which I rarely ever do. But why go in and “spread the love” to everyone else? I feel much better tonight than I have the past two days. Sometimes you just need a little rest. I probably didn’t help my case by playing in our basketball game Monday night, but it was the last one in our playoffs. We didn’t win, but I had my best game of the year with 8pts and a few solid boards. And of course, two fouls. =)
Overall I’ve been busy working on the truck and the farm. For those who don’t know, since my grandpa passed away I’ve taken over boarding horses on the farm. Right now I have four there, and that’s really as many as I care to have at this point. There’s not really enough good pasture to support more, and more would just be a headache. I’m not getting fancy with it, but I am trying to straighten some things out. I’ve created a boarding contract, and am trying to fix things up a bit. The fence was really in bad condition in several spots, so I’ve spent a lot of time getting it fixed and getting the electric running reliably again.
As for the truck, I recently did quite a bit of work on it. I’ll upload some pictures and post about that soon.
Hope everyone is staying warm!!
