Well i learned the hard way about weather in N. Dakota . Back a few years ago i had to haul some circuit breaker up to a power plant up at Stanton N.D. and it was May , Back here in the Buckeye it was in the mid 80's . I had just cleaned out the truck of all the winter weather gear , My Carharts my heavy shirts my winter boots . I left one insulated shirt a hooded sweat shirt and a old Carhart vest hanging in the closet . I had the War Dept put one insulated underware top in my bag with a weeks worth of clothes for WARMER weather and set sail . Ran the A/C all the way to Black Water Falls WISC. where i stopped for the night .Got up the next morning put on a SHORT sleeve shirt had breakfast and off i go. Get to Bismarck and it is 87 degrees with what them folks call a lite breeze (yea wright the wind is howling at 45 mph ) sun beating down on the truck setting in the parking lot of the truck stop heat coming off the engine and transmission turning the cab into and oven . So i go into the truck stop and set down and have supper . Come back out side and it is still HOT , ok will go set in the lounge and have a couple beers . Winds still howling outside but the beer is cold and they have nice BIG glasses Met a bunch of nice local people and we sat and talked till 11:30 and i figured that i had better get to bed as Berry expected me at 8 the next morning . I walked out the door that just a few hours before was over 80 outside to now a COLD 27 . And all the nice COLD beer that i had drank was not helping . And of course the tuck is setting in the BACK of the lot . ANd it has gone from and OVEN to a FREEZER . AND do you know how long it takes a truck to warm up , my teeth were rattling while i was waiting to get HEAT coming out . Took over and hour to get the chill out of the bunk . Next morning it was STILL COLD . They had SNOW like 5 inches of that stuff just five miles north of the power plant . Just about froze unloading . Just before noon we all went to lunch at Glo's dinner- gas station- general store in town . The wind is still howling but when we got back to the power plant it was getting HOT again. By the time we got all the used circuit breakers loaded and i pulled out i had the A/C back on but by the time the sun went back down the heater was back on.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
