27 below here this morning. It can be frustrating trying to clear three inches of underwear when it is that cold.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

I didn’t have enough clothes on here. I just got done breaking 10 drinkers for the cattle. Pretty sure my plumbing is froze!

They have pamper pull ups that can help with the pit stops. Cut back on the liquid intake which I always limit when working or driving on the road. Only partake as absolutely needed. Had a buddy that would travel with me that just had to have coffee all the time. Made me stop way more then I would if traveling alone. Told him the coffee had to go on long road trips or he had to pee in a cup. After the warning light went off for the third time this morning diapers were looking like a good idea.

My pickup said 2 F. Wind was 20-30 mph no breaks. I went to the south side of a barn twice today to skin. Got a square tube thing in my receiver hitch to skin off of. Wasnt bad out of the wind. Got some stuff needs set but I figure Monday is soon enough. (Didnt want to put my boots back on for a better picture of what I skin with a lot)
