New Years Eve

   When I got up this morning it was nice out a little cloudy and breezy but nice. I was gonna have my cup of coffee then take Roller out for an end of year ride. By the time I finished my coffee it was getting pretty trashy out. Here is just an idea of how trashy it was. The barn on the right is 50 yards from the house. At one point we could barely the barn. Winds were blowing 30mph or more. The pole in the picture was bouncing at the top 6" or more.
  We had a brown out then a complete power outage. The power was out for an hour or so. Looking to the north I got this shot of the blowing snow.
  We are glad we had decided to stay in tonight. Just spending time together. Don't know if we will make it to midnight but...........
  The storm blew out about 2:30ish and it turned into really nice day. I took a nap when it was trashy out.    Did some reading also, So just kinda relaxed. When it got nice out I saddled Roller and we went to get the mail. I rode out and checked on the bulls on the way to the mail box. Rode 2 miles I guess. Its 3/4's of a mile to the mail box. It was getting cold on the ride home. Th only mail was Hereford World. I don't    know how I got a subscription but I really enjoy getting it. Lots of good info. So it was worth riding for the mail. After all they wasn't any bills. :)
Until next year take care. Happy New Year!!!!!
