It's been a while. I've been posting updates on Facebook lately. I find it a lot easier, and faster working with the tablet. For this blog I have to unload cameras to the laptop, go thru all of the pictures and resize them 'cause google wants money from me to post full size pictures, save them to a different folder and then, finally upload. Typically I spend any where from one to two hours per blog. So, I'm thinking about only posting on Facebook. Let me know in the comments how you feel about this. 

A couple of weeks ago we met 2 curb jumping AWD SUVs on the Brule road. They didn't think that they were ruining the roads for other people's use, and they didn't care if they did. We had to drive thru puddles that they broke the ice on. As you can see the suspension and idler wheels were frozen solid in muck. It took a whole afternoon to defrost with a propane heater and chip away the ice.

We have had so little sun this year, especially this fall that I can't help taking pictures of it.

First tentative steps on the ice on the 11th.

Sun up.

We put in the tree line on the 18th.

This herc circled me a bunch of times.

We went to town to see grandsons Floyd and

Nova's school Christmas concerts.

So, let me know if you would like getting teased a little bit every day on Facebook or wait and get a bigger load, once in a while.
