We had a good night .. I practiced what I preach for once. We stayed warm, dry, safe and in house.  Today, I haven’t been so lucky. The Buckaroo and I headed out early to check,  feed and water the cows and horses. It’s been blowing snow, cold and everything is frozen. Just like at the station, snow on the farm makes ...

Well the snow found us. Here in Catawba, we had about 4-5 inches before it changed over to sleet. Chores don’t change just because of the weather, so I had all the regular feeding etc to do. The Buckaroo took the day off despite spending several days last week brushing up on loader operations … I missed the little fella ...

Ok, last night; I mentioned that I have been “elevated” to a new level of “blogdom” but, I’m not real sure if I’ve been elevated or drop kicked! You see, I have now joined the company of the likes of Dave Statter. In many of his previous posts, and as early as in his December 10th “Quick Takes”  Dave has mentioned ...

Geesh I'm beat! Long day today folks so I think all I'll be able to muster up is a "quickie".

Now, "extreme" may not be the right word but, record lows have been broken and the bottom line is .... IT'S COLD! Not the best weather conditions for our line of work .....

I mentioned in the last post that it’s snowing here in Va. and that has me in the Christmas mood! I can’t wait to go to the Mall and let Santa’s little helper sit on my lap. Ummmm… errrrrrrrr… wait…I mean I can’t wait to I sit on her lap. Ahhhhhhhh…no,  I mean I can’t wait to sit on …… ...

It’s been a long, cold and windy Friday but I’m back  in the house and under the electric blanket.  The Buckaroo and I were talking today and discussing how well the move over to the Fire/EMS Blog Network has been for Ironfiremen.com. Here lately, things have been going really well and that’s odd for me.  The hits, new friends etc are ...
