Contemplating a trip to Alberta (Calgary) to pick up a project.........

I'm loving it a little less today due to the blizzard we are in the middle of. Visibility is about 50 -60 yards and that is in my yard protected by some scraggley caragana trees.

How is the heard fairing with all this are they well protected from the elements?

Yup we put out wind breaks this morning for the girls. That was fun in the howling wind, 30ft long and 8ft high on steel skids, they like to slide on the snow.

I drove through Sask twice over the past month.... last trip we counted 25+ deer strikes between the AB border and Regina. Lots of carnage -- which is odd since you can see them coming for 15 miles in any direction

Those deer hide in the ditch then try to run across the road at the last minute. They are known as free lunch.

I drove through a herd of at least 40 antelope in the middle of the night one time with a Kenworth & pot loaded full of cows...I was standing on the brake pedal, pulling on the trailer brake handle and hitting all 3 jake heads at the same time....and they parted like the red sea, I didnt touch a hair....just $hithouse luck, not a bit of good management at all.

I heard this on the CB one night so take it with a grain of salt. Bullhaulers don’t go over many scales and if they do the DOT usually leaves them alone. But I guess this guy had a load of fats in the wagon and crossed a scale. Scale master pulled him around back, and once inside said he was too heavy on the trailer axles but he was ok on his gross. With as straight of a face as possible the driver said “Sir, I just load them on the trailer, I don’t tell them where to stand”
Apparently the scale master laughed so hard he let him go with no ticket
