Plenty of projects, and very nice weather!

Well, it appears like our beautiful weather is finally giving way to old man winter...  The past couple of weeks have been exceptionally nice, with very little to no snow on the ground, and temps in the upper forties and mid fifties!   Last night a cold front moved through, and brought a little bit of snow, a strong North-West wind, and temps in the single digits -- much more seasonal weather for this part of the country!

 Yesterday we went and helped some friends of ours with working their calves.  Mr. K. had got run over by a calf several weeks ago, and hurt one of his ribs, so was not able to do some of the harder work... Thankfully we had beautiful weather, and everything went pretty well.

 My most recent car project is pretty much finished now, and I have been driving it around some...  I took all of the old decals off myself, then went to a place in Bismarck and had them put "Charger" where the word "Sheriff" used to be:

 I also got a wheel alignment, and my air conditioning recharged, so it's ready to roll! :-)

  Here is something else new in our yard:

It's another grain cleaning unit, which Dad recently purchased. We are intending on removing one of the cleaners and puting a different one on, so we have plenty of work to keep us busy...

 Here you can see it sitting next to dad's other cleaner:



Looks like we'll have another busy winter/spring!

My Friends;

 That's right, it is time to stand up and be counted among those who are willing to defend our constitution, and the liberties it assures to all Americans.  With the out of control spending in Washington, the Federal Reserve inflating our money supply at an unprecedented pace, the unnecessary and undeclared foreign wars, and the squashing of our personal freedoms, it is high time we as Americans stood up for our rights, and elect officials who will uphold the Constitution, and our rights!
 First, if you are not completely sure who to support for President, I highly recommend taking a little time to study the Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution. The John Birch Society also has a lot of good information on the constitution and limited government, I would highly recommend getting in contact with your local JBS leader for more information...  You can also check out their "Freedom Index" as a quick review of how YOUR legislators votes measure up to the constitution.
 Now that you are an educated voter, you probably know that most of our elected officials have slid somewhat from the high ground of the constitution, which they swore to uphold. It is time to stand up for a candidate with a record of un-wavering support for the constitution: Dr. Ron Paul!  Take a moment to check out his website, read his history, see where he stands on the issues important to you, then tell your friends.  The most important thing we can do to win this election is to inform the public of the need for constitutional and limited government, and convince them to get involved.  So, here is a list of things that you can do:

• Get in touch with your State's Ron Paul campaign coordinators.  They are more than willing to help you with any questions you may have, supply you with fliers to hand out to your friends, or signing you up as a volunteer. If you are not sure who your state coordinators are, you can get in touch with the national headquarters, and they will direct you to your local group.
• Tell your friends! The more people you tell, the better!
• Become a Delegate.  This is a big step for most of us, (including me!) but it is one of the most important steps we can take to help Ron Paul win!  Becoming a delegate requires time and effort: First you need to attend your GOP District conventions, where you can get elected to be a delegate. Once becoming a delegate, you will need to attend your State GOP convention, where you can cast your vote and make a difference.  Yes, it will require time and effort, but it is a small sacrifice compared to those who gave their lives to give us the freedoms that we have now.

Two milestones

Today is a special day, in that it marks two milestones: the beginning of a new year, and my 200th blog post!
 I would like to say thank you to all of my readers, for taking the time to read my ramblings, and for all of the wonderful comments you have left for me.  It is always fun to hear from you, and many of you have provoked me to much thought. 
 May the Lord bless you all in the coming year, and may He guide you in His perfect paths for you!

"Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!"     1 Chronicles 4:10 

Your brother in Christ,
    Andrew B.
