Fred,
That is a good looking ride. My cousin in Arkansas has a couple that he uses when they have ice and snow to get to his cattle and ponds to chop holes through the ice so they can drink.
It sounds as if you are really enjoying the ranch life and I am happy to hear that as it will take a lot of stress away from you.
Take care and keep in touch more often. I have sent you a couple of emails and ever received a reply so I figured you may have changed your email address.
Ron
