lol I did bye a bike It figures

Friggin Snow down by Fernie they are sayin 10 to 20 CM

 

I heard that Calgary may get snow.....Its a dame monsoon out there...

 

Wow, I thought we got the bad weather... Sheesh. nothing like that here (yet).

 

Its been pouring rain since Monday...Now they are saying it will clear out by Friday....

 

huh,,, 20 something here, sweating like crazy,, no wind to speak of.... was totally sunny, till the smoke came rolling in

 

Must be nice. The smoke is pretty thick up here. Everything smells like campfire.

 

shoo! Turn up the AC, it's 92 and 4% humidity... yeah, I said 4...

 

LOl 92 huh Is that New math
We are a Balmy 6 c Oh 99% humidity Just sayin
Thankfully it stopped Raining

 

I take that back, it was 102 on the way to get the kids... that's in F, not C...

 

where are you at now Tate?

 

It finally stopped raining here in Sundre and we actually have blue sky above us.

I have had a one gallon ice cream bucket sitting on the deck for the last 6 days of rain, it's completely full! Not a very scientific or accurate measure of rain fall but it tells you enough has fallen in the last week.

Now to get the field pumped out again and dry up the mud bog in the yard and we should be good to go.

Its going to be a very late seeding this year...All three provinces are all late...Better have a late frost this year or we will be paying $10 for a loaf of bread this fall...

 

Down here SE of Calgary (near Carseland) it is just plain old wet. Went and checked the sump under basement when I got home tonite. It was about 90% full. I live in a high area and this is the second time in 10 yrs we gave had water in the sump. Darn 1/4 hp pump is running 5 mins out of every 25!!!! My wife is an avid gardener and she has 5 vegetable gardens - the largest is about an acre. I haven't been able to cultivate, till and harrow the darn garden yet this year. We were dealing with a septic line prob last week. I need to get the tractor through there but I am a wee bit concerned. The tractor is a 1965ish IH 350 Utility. I love that old tractor and it works darn hard but with filled tires is weighs about 5 or 6 tons. If that sucker sinks into garden to the diffs I have a serious problem. I guess I will hope thing dry out enough by Monday. I am going to be at 4H on Parade on Sunday. I started volunteering for our local club this year after we bought half a steer at the 4H auction last year. I am spoiled now. Store and restaurant beef (roast or steak) is wasted on me now. If you want to buy the best locally grown, organic, hand-fed, antibiotic and hormone free beef, come to 4H on Parade at the Stampede grounds on Sunday. We are talking about helping out hard working farm kids who (with the help of their caring farm parents) raise a steer for an entire year to earn about $900 selling their pet to be food for someone else. Ok, honestly, they are farm kids - the pet and food thing freaks me out more than them.

 

Since we sold the cattle...I'm been wanting to buy a steer...I could butcher it, but need someone to cut and wrap...I got to get back into hunting again...My freezer has been empty for too long...

 

I use Pure Country Meats in Strathmore (close by and they hang meat for 28 days) but I have heard good things about Balzac meats too.
