Last Drive Winter Settin In

[55 Fargo]

Had a last drive, well might take some short stretch the wheels in winter, but the car drives and runs great, and is toasty warm.

2 pics of my gettin back home, forgot camera for the drive.... ps I think I only drove 200 or 300 miles this year, pathetic huh.

OT PS, anybody on this forum raise Bantams, supposed to get some of these, another obsession to get involved in.....cheers

1 other thing, right where the car is sitting in the pic, at 6:30 am on Sunday morning, a Timber Wolf(100 pounder) was there, my 2 dogs went nuts. They chased after this wolf, and my Golden Retriever got a bite in the back leg, just 1 puncture. That night 3 0r 4 were howling, but no more visits since....

Fred,

I also hope to get some driving in this winter with my old Dodge.Last winter was great,we had some nice breaks on a couple of occasions,the weather warmed up and the snow disappeared for a few days..

Had some experience with poultry,including bantams. "The Standard of Perfection",a book published by the American Poultry Assoc. is a recommended book on the subject.We still have an older hard cover edition around the house from some 40 years back.I'd look for a used copy.

Have to watch out for predators - hawks,coyotes,weasels and also the neighbour's dog..they'll pick out your prize bantam...

Fred,

Glad to see you had the Chrysler out, we are expecting snow here the next three days, sure hope that isn't the case.

With all the happened to me this summer between chemo and radiation treatments, I have still managed just over 1,700 miles on the "Wayback Machine"

Cooper and I were out and about on Monday before Sanday arrived:)

Thanx for the advice Ralph, banties can't free range here I have 2 dogs, so in a coop/run, and maybe out to free range under my supervision only.

You know once winter sets in I prefer snow to stay, found out last year what happens when it melts then freezes, lost trees and perennials, lucky septic field did not freeze....

Sometimes,not too bad around here when we get a break during winter,I look forward to the Chinooks - less snow to shovel and the paved roads can be fine (dry) for travel.Here as in Manitoba, when the Spring thaw arrives, the rural gravel roads get a bit soft for a while and the road bans take effect.

Raising poultry is a good hobby and nice for your children as well if they have an interest...one of the advantages of living in a rural area.
