31 at the start 33 now & frost,I asked an ole timer when I worked at the farmstore one time just what he expected to see in the next 10 yrs if he was still around his answer was no comment nothin would surprise me anymore when it comes to agriculture,his son bought a big track tractor 500 hp or more he ran it a time or two & it just boggled him how much ground he could cover in just 1 hr. he said no wonder some of these guys farm 5,000 acres or more.

Cold and windy here. Had plans to ride with a friend, but 14 mph winds with gusts to 35 mph, we're waiting for a better day
Chuck mowed the dog's kennel about 2 weeks ago, this am we had 2-3" of snow. Most of it melted already.
