Thanks, that picture was back in the early 90's when my wife and I were foot loose and fancy free. I had to put her down last fall do to old age (37). Retired now but young at heart.

Ya I've considered putting the wife down too but she still cooks good and looks after me pretty well.

I have had some experience with mules, they are different to work with. Better build trust, but once you do it's worth it.

37 is a ripe old age. We had a little mare for 24 yrs and that was a tough day putting her down. Sure do get attached.

What kind of butter are you using?

What kind of butter are you using?

Just clean with a damp cloth and then neatsfoot oil everything. I find it's the best for keeping leather supple. My gear sees lots of weather. It will darken leather so have to be aware of that. But I like the look. You can see for yourself in my "cowboy gear" topic.

Another “bomb cyclone” to hit the Midwest this week with heavy snow
April 8, 2019

Chicago may see half a foot of new snow. Storm may delay spring planting.

A near-repeat of March’s “bomb cyclone” will bring up to 30 inches of snow this week to portions of Minnesota and South Dakota, with blizzard conditions and a threat of severe thunderstorms.

Roughly the same area that experienced flooding rains in March — and still trying to dry out enough to plant corn and soybeans — will see another round of heavy rain and heavy snow. The forecast location of the intense cyclone as of Thursday morning April 11 shows it taking a similar path to the record-setting March storm.

Forecast snowfall totals by midday Friday April 12 indicate the heaviest snowfall (up to 30 inches) over southern Minnesota, with 12-16 inches for Minneapolis.

The European ECMWF forecast model adds similarly heavy (~30 inches) snow totals in eastern South Dakota. Much of Wisconsin and northern Michigan are forecast to receive 6 to 12 inches.

The energy for such intense cyclones comes from the strong temperature contrast between two air masses. For example, by late Wednesday the temperatures in Nebraska will range from the 70s in the southeast to the 20s in the northwest, simultaneously feeding both blizzard conditions and a severe thunderstorm threat within the state.

BOLO: The Lakeville Police Dept has issued an all points bulletin for ALL groundhogs.

Since an imposter has surely predicted six more weeks of Winter all groundhogs are to be shot on sight.


Needless to say, we got dumped on and it's still coming.'

HELP!

Big, lazy snow flakes gently falling this morning. But, man, was it windy yesterday, along with just a couple inches of snow. That major storm somehow parted around us up in the NW corner of Wisconsin, but sure poured it on all around us. Reports 70 mph winds and of 20 foot high waves at Duluth, 66 mph wind at Minneapolis/St. Paul. Looking forward to Spring's return.

52 & partly sunny today - we'll take it!
