It sure was cold this morning. The temperature at 8:00AM was 15, but the wind chill had it at -2. The good news is, tomorrow morning will much colder. The forecast calls for a windchill of negative 30. We will see! But for today, preparations, preparations. I got the firewood in, and we have extra…
Dispatches From The Farm
Two Points for Today
Two items of note for today. The first is that we are at the end of the firewood in the first half of the bunk. After I go out tonight and get more wood to bring in, I will be bringing it from the second half of the bunk. We started burning on 22nd of…
A Working Bench
I started the process of ordering a work bench for the shop at the end of December. Then I realized I had ordered the short one on accident, so I cancelled it and looked for the longer one. The shop I had originally ordered from did not have any, so I tried out another shop….
Wednesday Morning by the Fire.
It is snowing again this morning. Nothing like yesterday though. Just a little flurry. I see California is having rain again, so give that 24 hours and it will be here. It was warm overnight, and this morning I did not started a fire early this morning and am only getting around to it right…
The Morning
This morning it sure was coming down, and was it ever wet! I got out soon and started up my tractor and put it to work clearing the dog run. It’s good to be able to walk the dogs without having to fight the snow as well as the dogs. I went out a little…
Snow Handling with a Tractor

Planning to Come Back to YouTube
Tomorrow I am expecting a new action camera to arrive. It looks like it will shoot the image quality I am looking for, as well as the durability and the MINE-ness I really want. I don’t want to be taking my wife’s camera out, and accidentally breaking it while trying to get a video. So…
About Three Inches of Snow
If I had to guess, I would say we had about three inches of snowfall. But! But that came down with the wind going 15 to 20 miles an hour for quite some time. Result? Drifts and negated work. I have been keeping a clear path through the orchard so we can walk the dogs….
Going to Get Colder!
After our previous report about the cold, today was playing out to be a mellow day when a friend of mine texted and asked if we thought we were going to be in the range of the negative temperature storm heading into the US. I had no idea what he was talking about. Then I…
Cold!
And so, there we have it. The temps are a bit on the chilly side this day! The sun is sinking over the horizon as I write this, and who knows what tonight will bring? The wind map does not give any promises of a warmer overnight. It looks like we are in the middle…
