They're having issues with new photos being posted and discussing it on another thread. I'm able to post via Safari on my tablet but not through the app.

... My package with the parts from Surplus Center is out on the truck for delivery ... be interesting to see after the last little incident if our UPS driver is brave enough to run 250' over a couple inches of snow on flat ground to drop it at the shed. My bet is no ...

My faith in humanity - or at least our UPS delivery guy - has been restored ...

TBN photo loader must really be broke, I can't get them on even with a Mac.

The temperature has dropped 30˚ since this morning when I posted, the WBS loaded and on stand-by.

Good morning all.
It has been raining all night here. Cold wet nights often seem much harder on the sheep than when it is below freezing.
This morning I found an older ewe that hadn't the energy to stand up. Fortunately she was being kept company by some younger ewes who had kept any predators away.

She was at the point furthest away from our house. With our land forming a long narrow triangle, that is just over a mile from home.
At one time on a wet day like this I would have been bringing her back in a wheelbarrow.
Not today though, time for the Iseki to start earning it's keep and make use of the 4 wheel drive.

With the 3-point-hitch still to be sorted, the only option was to put the bucket on.
I left the hoses for the 4-in-1 clam off as I'm still learning the new joystick and didn't want her accidentally dropping out - or worse.

Wrapped her in a piece of carpet tied up with baler twine.

All went well and we made it home.

Glad she made it home. Hope you can help her get going again. So when Txdon comes to help mow, can I come to shoot predators?

Sadly, I remember using my FEL/tractor as a hearse to carry my beloved 110lb Golden Retriever to his final resting spot on a cold, drizzly, windy day. That was back in late 2004. He's buried under an oak tree, overlooking our 2 acre pond. He loved to fish.

When we lost our golden almost three years ago we had her creamented still miss her fishing in the pond. They cast her paw print for us. Lost both our dogs three months apart still brings a tear or two

A whopping 8 degrees and still no water. Bought a infrared heater for the garage to help heat the pump. Not sur if the outside is froze or inside. The pressure switch won't close so I think its froze too.

Perhaps all to common a use.

We brought 2 boxers with us when we moved in 2005. Jack departed unexpectedly in 2008 and our first to ride in the bucket. Two years ago, at the age of 12, his gf and mother to his litter joined him in our pet cemetery. Makes for a somber tractor ride.

That's no fun. Maybe use a heat tape if there are exposed copper or iron pipes, and blast hot air to the pump area. I wish I had better ideas.

Murph do you know someone with a torpedo heater that you could borrow that would thaw her quick.
