We had thunderstorms coming right at us this morning and we slipped right through an opening. The same this afternoon, twice in one day. Imagine that!

There must be a magnetic force out near Brimfield that splits the storms. We slip through the split. Happens more often than not.

New years Day this year was -16°. Macy didn't leave the yard that day. Wasn't out in it much either.

That is an old record to be breaking.

1936 was our record year. Takes a lot to break one of those.
