Fun in the snow.

Got up at about 5;30 this morning and went out and fed the horses.
Had my breakfast and finished putting the sleds together harnessed the mares and went to the woods cut some wood and loaded it on the sleds and hauled it out.
That made it about 12;30 so I just turned them out and came in for dinner,Mary said that the guy up the road had the alternator for the backhoe finished as I had left it with him on sat.
So I went up to get it and when he said what it was I thought he said it was 77 dollars and change well you see I trust him so I handed him a 100 dollar bill but when he gave me back 3 20's and change it was 17 dollars.
That made me happy so brought it home to put it on the machine well Mary said she thought she wanted me to drive her to town but she said she could on her own so that left me here to put the alternator on the backhoe.
It is a very tight fit with the loader on the machine but I did get it on but I managed to drop a very small screw down on the ground and couldn't find it at all.
So the rest of the afternoon was spent looking for that so very small screw.
Now to give you an idea of how small it is I would compare it to a small raisin.
Well Mary came home from shopping and I went in to warm my hands as I can't work on something like that with gloves on.
She asked me if I wanted her to go out and see if she could help find the screw so out we went and she reached down and said is this it.
Well that made me happy so finished putting that together and by then I had to get the barn cleaned up to let the horses in for the night and then come in for supper so will have to finish that in the morning.
I didn't get the wood unloaded off the sleds so that is waiting for me in the morning as well.
Hope to get the driveway cleaned out as well in the morning will let you know how that unfolds.
But I am in for the night now so there.

Remembrance day

Good morning it is about 7 in the morning here and I have already gone out and given the horses their breakfast so that they will be happy.
Our plans are to go to the NSCC* school this morning and attend a remembrance day service with my cousins Paula Suzanne and Steve.
Steve is my uncle Ernie's son from Halifax he is where Bob my brother gets his middle name hence Robert Earnest Mclean Paula and Suzanne are aunt Ada's girls.
We are going to Suzanne's for dinner at about 12 or so.
Mary made a pan of rolls to take with us to go with the meal so I am sure we will be full of good tummie stuff before we leave there.
That will take the morning and most of the afternoon so that would seem to me to be the whole day.
I will just turn the horses out for the day and they can go out and play with the Unicorns.
*Nova Scotia Community College.
I thought maybe you would like to know what that meant.
I would like to harness Mazie and Dancer before we go to this function this morning and maybe just play with Lew some as he still needs to be worked some.
So it seems that my day is planned for me today doesn't it.
I hope that I have you completely bored with the goings on here on the Ponderosa with Ben Cartrite. Not sure how to spell that last name but hopefully you get what I mean K.
I just tried to add an image to the note but on this dial up it seems that nothong is happening when I click on the icon for add an image so not sure what if any thing is happening there.
