    Merry Xmas too! Man it's cold out. 16 with a 30 or so north wind. On the plus side only had a dusting of snow. Just got back from familys traditional Xmas breakfast... Go to mother-in-laws and have eggs, hashbrowns, ham, biscuits & gravy and other goodies. I'm stuffed and ready for a nap.

    Merry Christmas everyone. Its been turning colder here and starting to snow flurry a little.

    We didn't do any hauling this week, finally got stuff washed and did a little work on a few things, ran the overhead on one truck. Don't have any hauling for the elevators lined up, if it freezes hard enough by next week, I've probably got one farmer that will try to finish his corn. January is usually slow for us, usually late Jan or Feb when things start moving good.

    Yes it is cold here and hope the snow is done for awhile. Hope we have good weather next week and the roads are clear. We are fixing to go to my mothers for Christmas dinner, I will eat my share and then take a long winters nap. lol

    Same thing here sometimes late Feb. I thought about hauling salt but not sure. I usually save up enough during the harvests to last through the winter.

    HAHA well if there is and your like me the only time you'll sweat with it is moving it out to put a "For Sale" sign on it. They get really hard to dust!:biggrin_25525::biggrin_2559:

    Cold, windy, and dusting of snow here too. Hauled rice out monday and tuesday but Riceland closed after that til next monday. Not too much dry rice coming in yet. Everybody's having moisture issues. I guess the farmers around here are different. We've got 2 pretty new trailers but 2 98 and 2 02 model trucks. The bosses do let me keep em up pretty good tho as opposed to some farmers. Merry Christmas everybody.
