Well you knew it was gonna do that before you said you was going out !!!:drama::poke:
Yeah cause I was motivated to try until I walked outside. And actually, the wind is about 5 times stronger than forecasted.
 
Well my wife is pissed off and not at me for a change!!! I love it(the not being mad at me partof this story)


So my wife in July got 6 ducks. They are free roam across our backyard, which we are renting from my mother in law. Wel my mother in law is one of these animal cuddling folks and won't leave them alone. She wanted to get them a heater for their little kiddy pool, which is a bad idea as the ducks feet will freeze in these temps once they get out. My wife even told her mom that. So I put up all the little kiddy pools (3 of them) we had for them yesterday. Well sometime last night sometime in the middle , the mother in law snuck a brand new stock tank with heater up here and filled it up. Now all 6 ducks have blocks of ice for feet.......

Never have I ever seen this or thought of it before , I would put them in a big box , bring them in and let it thaw, go out side and unplug that thing and dump it.. poor ducks !

My buddy had to go chisel 6 ducks off the floor of the chicken coop. They all were walking around with blocks of ice on their rear ends. The heat lamp went out.
So today would be an interesting day at the farm. Waterers never get checked/maintained until days like today. Block heater on tractor likely still doesent work. And the good overhead door hasnt been finished since it covered the hole 10 years ago. Every summer i offer to help him get it finished,some lame excuse always comes up.

Tempted to drill holes in it
 
Dammit!
Had an overhead door failure. Block of snow fell off and door closed on it. Motor didnt stop and unwound cables. Pry up door,remove block of snow and close door. Is heavy. Couple bungee straps to take up slack and wind cables up manually. I got lucky. Had it kept winding down, the torsion spring would have popped.
 
The deer in my back yard are off limits and season closed. They will be hitting the beans hard in this weather.
