Evening made it all the way up to -8 today. On its way back down now and can't stay out long before hair starts to freeze
 
So I just spent the last hour building out a storm shelter for the new goats my wife got. Took a thermometer, 42 degrees ambient in the rest of the stable, 57 degrees inside the straw Fort after just me sitting in it for 30 minutes.

I hate goats, my wife had goats and they ate everything and killed all my fruit trees and played king of the mountain on the hood and roof of my car.
Did I mention they chewed up all my extension cords.
 
Heading out in this blizzard is likely a stupid idea but no choice

I been stuck on the side of the road in a few blizzards that you couldn't see a thing out the windshield.
Not telling you what to do but make sure your prepared for the worst.
 
Cold night here, windy as I have ever seen it in these hills, we are in for the next few days, my sons are enjoying some race car time, that rearend was sponsored by Dad (memike). 4 out of 6 chassis they have built are championship cars, not bad for my sons, his builds are Creeds Costumes, my younger son is Creed.
Proud to see my two sons working so good together.

Here is where they are at tonight

So go to plow a bit to knock it down. Get to the peake of the drive tractor sputters and shuts down. Look at the gas filter, it is half Ice. Never added diesel treatment. always keep a spare filter around so go and change it. Then the battery dies, get the jump pack, prime the injectorsa again starts then dies. OK one more time and now it is raining. Get it started just park it by the shop. I am done for today but have to hear the wife bitching she needs stuff that I told her 10 times to get earlier in the week!:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:

And from me making my own I couldn't keep it stabilized in #1 diesel fuel in the winter.
But never tried real hard I had enough on my plate every winter on the farm.
 
One of my boys fell off a dump truck while working on it today. Fractured a vertebrate , one in his back and one in his neck.
Think I might just crawl in a hole for the rest of the year. 2023 I hope is a better year.

Being the closest to the farm by a long shot sucks. But it is what it is

About 530 EST. It’s dropped FAST. Currently showing 12 degrees outside, stable sitting at 25, strawfort now has more around it, holding at 44 according to the digital.

I have my Ruck, my SAR vest and , Army issued Arctic gear with a case of MREs and a canteen cup.And a rifle. If the 101st can survive bastones conditions with none of that, I better be able to with it or I don’t deserve too.


I made it safely to the farm. Can’t see more than about 5 feet in front the car. Thinking about spending the night here. Hmm

We all do the best we can in a situation and I'm gonna keep good thoughts going because bad thoughts and stress is far from helping anyone.
