    The problem with ice fish is when they thaw out there is nothing left but a puddle and a few scales. There is some real heavy weather coming tonight. I moved the tractors out of the shed and put the good pick-up in. We don't want it torn up by hail. I thought about going down to the basement...

    Hi Gang: The Jordan shovel is a small Erie shovel I'd say about a 1/4 to 1/2 yard dipper. I'm going to use it some where but it's way too small for a open pit mine operation. Check the Walthers catalogue for a picture. It's time for bed here. Good Night All

    Evening Gang: Steve: I am flinching even now. I don't think that I could have let that doctor anywhere near me for that. I hope that it worked. Come to think of it Fergie may have done that with a soldering iron. No I think that is one of the places on his body that he hasn't tried to solder...

    Hi All: Larry, I had a torn rotator cuff in muy right shoulder a couple of years ago. I spent about what you are looking at getting back to "normal". The time went by quickly it seemed.

    Hi Gang: Josh. I haven't been bored yet. There is so much that needs doing that I have a hard time figuring out what to do first. Should I clean out the coral or take a nape first. Desicions all the time. Right now I think I'll hit the sack. Good Night All

    Hi Gang: I don't have to worry about finding things to do. I go to work for the Beverung Ranch on Saturday morning and the manager is one tough lady. She won't let me burn any daylight. I'm lucky that the lights on her tractor arn't working. Of course she will probably have me fix them first...
