    The skeleton in the Barbie car is a good reminder to drive responsibility, especially during cold weather conditions. Also, it makes for a dark humor laugh; yeah, made my day.

    WOW, Gillette really goes all out on their lights. I was really impressed. I drove a truck over the road for over 35 years and one thing I could always count on is the wind in Wyoming. Especially in winter going across Elk Mountain on I 80.

    Thanks for taking us to view the Gillette lights, they're just beautiful. I'm curious about the beet juice being heavier than water so now I have to look it up, but that's is one reason I subscribe is to learn. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    So enjoyed the vlog this week. I miss seeing the lights. When we traveled to Wyo for Thanksgiving with my family the lights were always a favorite to drive through. My mom decided that she no longer wants to have her kids driving in Wyoming in the winter so we no longer do the winter trip. Wyoming, the good life!

  • @jimpantherdrivervickers5439
    @jimpantherdrivervickers5439 2 роки тому +2

    Water in the tires will also freeze faster than beet juice. Alot of states spray the roads with a beet juice mixture in the winter. Might wanna check the valve in the valve stem...might need tightened.

    Calcium Chloride was in our tires. Won’t freeze. You would not want water in our neck of the woods. You were within miles of our place when you drove into Belle. Thanks Mike for what you do! Did Gilbert raise Herefords? I have seen several images on your walls regarding them.

    Don't those silly cows know the barn would be warmer? Enjoyed your light show. I've not made it to ours yet. It's a drive thru or park and watch the whole farm lighting play to Christmas songs.
    We had 40 mph winds here in southwestern Indiana on Saturday after waking to tornado sirens at 12:15 a.m. We were spared unlike our neighbors in southwestern Kentucky. May you stay warm thru the cold and windy days.

    I had noticed the low tire from the last video but neglected to comment. So glad others did and I got to watch you fill it. I never knew they had beet juice in them... great video, I miss South Dakota it's so beautiful there. I lived there back in the 70s in what was just a village growing at the time called Rapid City. Great to see you & Erin packing up the meats to others...

    My family had a Citrus and cattle farm in AZ, Citrus has MONSTER thorns. We used to put flour and water in the tires both for weight and for sealing punctures. Worked well till one blew then WHOOEE did it stink. Think fermented rotten fruit. I would imagine you could have the same type of issue with the Beet juice.

    You need to buy an expandable conveyor for both of you for Christmas. Starter is only 329.00 on amazon, but you need it now! It will be best investment you can make for shipping those ice orders. It will immediately streamline what you do and save your backs. Put box on it, roll box down it to freezer load and roll to your truck. I manage shipping thousands of refrigerated pharmaceutical orders weekly. All our sites first purchase is those conveyors, you will be glad you bought it!!! Will pay for itself in your back immediately! Have a wonderful Christmas

    I tried MANY different combinations on feeding my calves to market. Beyond a doubt the best, and most cost effective, was a combination of 50/50 alfalfa and oat hay and sweet 3 way grain. If their stools got loose add a bit more oat hay. It never failed me. Usually 1400# market weight. On more than one occasion 1600#. Excellent marbling. About 3/4 received prime certification which jumped the market price enough to pay for it all.

    This was a wonderful episode (they’re all good). Mike, you must be a mind reader....I had planned to ask the question on how a road bisected the farm...and BAM! You answered it first. 👍. That was a really fun light show....I got a kick out of the animation. That will give the kids and you and Erin great memories. Every year we took our children through a local neighborhood that went all out on decorations. They are 50 & 54 now and can still recall those nights and did the same with their children. 👍🥰❤️🌲
