So how's it going in Minot? Lived there for four years, loved every minute of it. Talked with a friend that lives south of town, down from the Pour Farm about 5 miles, east of 83 last night. Said he's got more snow than he's ever seen. The good news is that it's been extremely cold this year, too.
Uff-da. He said it's been hard to run the bird dog, other than around in the driveway. Glad to see you're prepared for keeping warm.
We finally got a warm spell last week and melted most of what we had, allowing us to take down some of the dead ash trees for next season's burn. Note to self: Don't cut down 6 trees if your back is only capable of bucking, trimming, moving, stalking, etc. 2 trees in one day. Ouch! As my pharmacist cousin preaches, " Better living thru Chemistry".
Hope the deer & pheasants numbers aren't hit too hard with the winter you've had.
