Tracy , I was just about to message you and this pops up. I think of you and your loss. I do not say I know how you feel , but feelings are personal. We both had a great loss. Maybe they met on the other side . Bonnie is a passenger , so Don will have to drive.  Have the best holiday you are able to have. I hope to see you for a toast , in person. da prez |

Tracy,
I'm saddened to read of your struggles. I hope you soon find your way through the maze of grief and sense of profound loss. I also hope you soon arrive at a place where you can begin to again focus upon all that lies before you instead of languishing in the memory of having lost all that has been. My best regards and sincerest wishes for you to have a happy holiday season!

I have followed this thread and I know we are not acquitted but I do understand (not from experience but by just being aware) your loss and how it might affect you.
From everything I have ready you are strong lady, with knowledge and a future. I cannot, as I said, fully understand your situation only that, from what I have read, you are someone special and worthy of note in this life.
That in and of itself says you can do whatever you desire. If I can, in any way, be of service to you, just send me a message and I will reply.
Yours Truly Carolinarider.

Thank You All ! Of course, missing My Mate/best friend is a huge loss. When there is no one else close. But If anyone ever ran a farm , and burns firewood solely to keep warm & feeding large critters Knows the work load is huge alone! It's really the break downs of the equipment that gets to me . I can only fix so much. LOL the other day was fence , one of the young bulls were in the yard.. Grabbed a stick and shook it at him, was ...... well it worked , thank Goodness.. So I had to pound a few T posts in .. I'm 5' and 7' T post LOL with the pounding tool, in an area where you couldn't stand on anything.. Oh what Joy LOL ... Yes got it done... And didn't Wack the 20lbs metal driver in my head! I do tell a few mates on another site that I'm an ADMIN/MOD. So I must be on that site every day. When I'm out in the woods to cut.. So if they don't see me post up for a few hours or days , they need to send HELP.. LOL Of course I'm very careful in the woods. But shite can happen.. Yes I am strong . But no spring chicken... LOL 70 is way closer than 50  Just ya'll keep an eye out , I will be putting a bunch of accessories up soon and 2 nice leather RDL saddles . As soon as I get the time ! |

Well I threw my leg over TheBeasts saddle. And took a ride.
I picked me up some new work gloves for x-mas..
And cute little Grogu socks for a buck..
When I got home I split some wood ,and cleaned it all up.
And checked the water, still slow..
For supper ,I made myself Christmas Eve fettuccine alfredo.

Tracy,
"Well I threw my leg over TheBeasts saddle. And took a ride."
Atta girl! Best therapy I've ever found, so it's reassuring to read you're also using it to your advantage! Also, it's good of you to share your experience with the rest of us. Lets us know of the trials and struggles of finding your way through your huge loss, and it also allows us to gain relief at your obvious progress... Sure good to hear (read?) from you!!!

I threw my leg over TheBeast saddle once again.
My first ride of the year.
only went 80 mile round trip but felt good we had topped out to 37*
I didn't have any Gerbings on or with me. But I wasn't cold.
Only when I stopped . Right Carl ! You know what I mean.
They are calling for a storm, but we shall see.
Carry On

Yeah I'll just keep this thread a live.. And post the going On's here. The winds here are wicked! As is the rains ! All night long ! I am glad it's not snow, Cause I'll tell yeah, it would be 3 feet already. Lost power @ 11:35 last night ,I called it in, still with out power. I was up at 4:30 am to get the genny up and running. Yeah it takes me about 2h to get everything done. I even made coffee early put in my thermos cup . So I could plug in the fridge and the deep freezer. Have power to the water pump and living room.. They say maybe 1pm the power will be back.. We shall see just another day on a mountain . I had the cattle in the driveway last night to eat  But I did leave the top gate opened in case they wanted OUT. After all there isn't much protection in the driveway for them . I'll have to see if I can get a bale of hay out later. Don't know if the old ford can run in the mud! LOL And not to sure I want to really find out ! Might have to call someone to put one out for me . That has a 4x4 tractor. The woodstove keeps the house toasty.. |

Good morning Lady D, you mentioning 3 feet of snow reminds me of the first time I “met” you and Don on line. You posted pics of you riding in the tractor’s bucket in a blizzard. Don was backing up, you directing him, with the snowblower on the back clearing a path so you could feed the animals.
I thought to myself, now there’s a good country farm girl!! Lol

Morning.........
That must have been when we had 132" of snow that year!
The snow banks were over my head! We lost a horse and 2 calves that winter.
I'm very happy and Blessed we didn't get this storm as snow..

The winds refuse to let up here on the mountain. They blew pretty hard again last night it blew over one of my ash cans  Yes it did have ash in it... Just another day on the farm . I did get my tractor stuck in the mud for a bit yesterday at the hay barn. Then I realized ,what was happening ,I dropped the hay spear too soon and it hit the mud bank. Going in to the hay barn.. So at least I could get unstuck pretty fast.. Had to find spots where there wasn't a ton of wind blowing. Found 2 low spots to unroll some hay in to both , then did a un roll by the hay barn where that blocked some wind as well . There is nothing worse than unrolling in the wind and watching blow away ! Thank goodness this isn't my first wind rodeo... Of course only my first having to do it solo... I use to ride around with Don finding the calm areas... That changes with each wind storm.. Anyhow got it done... carry on |

Thanks .. Don must have known this . Here's this mornings fuel ,Why use elect. stove. When I can use free heat ! This morning breakfast via the woodstove.. And yes they are my kind of sausages (plant) ... I must turn the fan off ,so the stove really gets hot. That air gap around the stove stops it from getting cooking temps with the blower on.. Yeah I went back to my metal plate for the winter.. I can warm the plate with out worries.  And flipped. Bummer ya can't see the steam from the dragons nose! She was really pumping the steam..  |

I bet ya did. We are at 8 d of winds gusting at times over 40MPH.. So yesterday I made a pot of Chili, Now I know real chili has no beans. But mine has no meat ! LOL so it's chocked full of many different kinds of beans.. Don always liked my base for chili, as I would use it to make him Chili, that of course had meat . So once I could taste the base , I would then sauté him up some fresh ground meat. You can see how nice and colourful my chili is,  |

HeroBud the feral cat came in around 1am I was stoking the stove , as it was 19* out. And a tad blustery out. So I saw him on the deck in the high bed. He came in. Stayed inside till 5am and slept on the bed that whole time .. What a good boy... |

No Dogs... After my last of what like 10+ doggies over my life time . I said no more.. The ones I miss the most Max (GS) Stoney (Dobie) Pumis (Samoyed/Retriever) Besides cats are much better for Motorcyclist... Max as a Pup  And all grown up at a 150lbs.  Pumis  Stoney  He use to go everywhere with me especially on dates. If he was leery of my date he came along. He love Don. Stoney even went camping with us and the horses.. When I get time I look for some of the other doggies.. HeroBud is about 18lbs.. He's a big feral boy..  |

Yes, I still have plenty , LOL I made a 8qt pot ..
Once I get tired of it I'll freeze some..
But with this 5" of snow and cold . And 3 more inches on the way.
I at least can pull a cup or 2 out of the big pot
and put the smaller pot on the wood stove..
By the time I come in it's pipping hot and ready to eat .
Add some Cheddar cheese and dive in..
I did put the plow on the quad. Alone for the first time. I had helped Don many times.
And had to plow our almost a mile long driveway 2 times yesterday.
I don't drop the blade all the way, first drop it fully and pop her up a notch .
And was very mindful of the 2 bad spots on the driveway . I never went fast and I have to stand and plow so I can see !
I did OK .. even with my bald tires LOL..
And why I plowed 2 different times, thinking I didn't want to plow too much at once..

Tracy, I think it's pretty amazing that you soldier on alone with all this work on your big homestead. Take your time, be careful, and please don't injure yourself. Out there alone, there would be no one to know you were hurt (maybe carry your phone). When I brought my Turkish wife to the US, she enjoyed working right along side me in any jobs no matter how hard or nasty. We lived in March AFB housing, and they required you keep your place up (or kicked you out). We were lucky enough to get one of the only five company grade (lieutenants and captains) houses on the main base (beautiful old housing). Headquarters Fifteenth Air Force was co-located there, and this housing was top heavy with field grade and general officers. March had been around since they flew open cockpit biplanes there. One day I came home, and she had mowed the lawn (for the first time). I was proud of her and told her so. She told me a funny thing had happened when she was out mowing. A couple senior colonel neighbor wives came over and told her officers wives did not mow the lawn, and she was setting a bad example (lest their husbands ask them to mow the lawn). We had a good laugh about it and I told her there was no such rule and she could mow or edge or dig all she wanted.   I just came in from blowing all the snow and ice off my walks, drive, scape and truck with my big Stihl backpack blower, and right about now Southern California is looking mighty good. Broke out the old snowmobile suit and snow pack boots (first time in years). |

got to figure out how to get you an Obama phone Tracy or maybe one of those large screen AARP phones, when you finally turn 39 my mom had one of the "Help I have fallen and cant get up " things She would fall, the gizmo would ask "Mrs Rogers did you fall?" "Yes" she would say but then add "I'm fine" but truth was she never did get up. Thank goodness a friend was checking on her later that day and she called the police when mom did not answer the door. Yes they broke the door. Yes mom is ok but now in a memory unit. Those I cant get up things come with gps and pretty cheap insurance when alone just sayin |

Honestly I don't need one.
And lets face it up on the mountain where I would need it they don't work..
They just are not a priority for me..
A SPOT would be better.. But I don't need that as well.
What can I say...

Not too bad out -1* windy , so I'm guessing it feels like -18* ..
Had to take a walk in the snow barefooted..
It should be a squeaky snow with boots on...
