Good morning!!!!

[farmer2009]

Farmer, I'm amazed how hard you work, doing all that hay, while doing everything else at the same time. You really do multitask. Must be hard to get away...but at just the right time, when most of the big stuff is done, I hope you can get away. Right now it's hard for me to get away because of my vegetable garden. But I bought a water timer and I'm going to try to rig up a drip system with it.

Drew. I don't get near as much done as you. I seem to end up running after others and in different directions. Get away time for us would normally be after this flock. But wife is going to be having a baby so that will be knocking out our vacation. Maybe later in the year. We do have a timeshare that will not be completely used this year.

51 right now...high of 79 today. Warm spell coming over the next week, then looks like another cooler spell.
Mowed the back yard after work yesterday...probably do more this afternoon.

 

[wngsprd]

63 and cloudy headed to 81.

Dental check up this morning.

 

[daugen]

69 degrees going up to 85 today with rain showers coming in late morning.

I pulled up my snow peas since they were done, and after one more picking of the bush green beans, they look like they will be done too. Think I might see if I can get another crop of beans in; they were so good I'd like to grow some more.

How can deer walk up to my rose garden, thirty feet from the veggie garden, strip/eat every leaf off, which they did two nights ago, and not touch a leaf on the veggie garden? beans and peas hanging there....deer must surely love roses as much as I do. Guess I'm going to have to put some kind of fence around the roses; almost a dozen plants stripped of every leaf. Like the locusts went through...

64 high of 84 later with rain showers possible cooler for the weekend. Working out of town today yuk

 

[Thomas]

52F clear upper 70's for high.
Have wood chuck eyeing the garden,so after work stakes fencing will be in place.

Enjoy the day all.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 62° with overcast skies this morning. Heading to 80° with rain on it's way. Still recovering and sleeping most of the day.
Good Morning All.

 

[rswyan]

68F and cloudy @ 07:00, high of 83F with heavy thunderstorms this afternoon.

Pileated cackling this morning, another smaller woodpecker hammering on the siding.

More work on garage clean up yesterday, also got blades for the Simplicity sharpened and installed, mower deck put back on, and lawn around the house cut.

Broke out the large live trap and baited and set it last night ... so need to give a swimming lesson to Rocky Raccoon and then plant him.

Then need to stick grapple on and move all the stumps I dug to the south property line before it rains.

Probably try and get the garage finished up after that.

77 this morning and headed to 91 today. Had .31 inches of rain yesterday.

Managed to get through my todo list yesterday. But didn't get fertilizer on the garden or the fields until after the rain. Should be enough moisture there to desolve the nitrogen and keep it from volatilizing.
Hays covered. First year using a tarp so we'll see how I like it. It's bound to help with losses. New vs 1 year old bale.

As for today. Well it sounds like the vet might come by to look at chickens. Nothing wrong, he usually comes out a couple of times a year just to check on things. At some point I have to return the fertilizer buggy. Then I think I'll come back and work on planting the garden and mowing the yard. Also need to get back on building today. Unlike some I'm still trying to plant my first planting.

Drew. I'd take a deer problem in the garden. They are tasty. But my problem is coons and we don't have the same sleep schedule.

LOL ... I haven't even managed to get our "garden" tilled ... let alone get anything planted ...

Live trap with peanut butter on a cracker (they can't resist it - gets 'em every time) and then euthanize.

Off to dig planting hole for Rocky, who is practicing his underwater backstroke in a confined area ...

Morning guys, rain overnight, don't know how much yet. We were real dry and needed it. 76 heading to 92, will be steamy.

SS payday so it is fill the truck and can with gas and stash some cash into the savings account for the back half of the tax bill. Then goof off today. I did get the yard around the house cut yesterdaay so everything has been mowed since Sunday.

Looks like the Trimec worked. The broad leaf weeds are looking sick. Maybe next time I will make it a bit heaver. Went light to be sure I did not burn the grass that is new.

Keep repeating till after November . . . Don't vote the wrong way!

I'll vote "right"!:thumbsup:

Do ron ron... you do not want me singing!

Cloudy after a pretty sunrise, light showers, hope I can mow grass later. High in the upper 70's today I'm told.

A couple of pet coyotes will fix that problem!

I've got a coon problem too, he comes right up between 7-8 every night, cleans out the cat food, walks across the yard 10' from me sometimes, no fear apparently. Of course I never have a gun when he's out. I prefer not shoot him and have blood out where other animals are exposed, you never know what they carry. Everytime I try the peanut butter in the trap, I get a cat or a groundhog.

Heat index up to 110 degrees possible today here.

Might have to have me a Bud Light with lime this evening.

They're deer, not pigs. They'll be back for the rest later. :laughing:

Good Morning! 54F @ 8:00 AM. Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 73F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph.

We have showers moving in tonight that are supposed to last through Thursday, along with much lower temperatures brought on by an Alaskan low. Looks like it's time to move the van back into the garage!

Now it looks like I have a pair of foxes leaving their little surprises everywhere. They were cavorting in the back yard the other morning, plain as day and no fear what so ever. Time to break out that live trap and give them a ride back up the canyon.

Happy Hump Day everyone!

 

[sodamo]

68°F and 2.44 inches rain last 24 hours. Pretty soggy day yesterday, fingers crossed for drier today.

Be safe
Have a great day.

Good Evening All. Finely got the internet hooked up so I am back. Have enough in the house to live with and will get the rest in as we can. We are blessed to have a 24 ft box car trailer in the drive way that can sit for a while so we can unload it as we can. Belongs to my step son and he is cool with it. We need a few days to just rest and recoop.

Glad Ron and Don are recovering well. and glad to hear the first cup of coffee is back in business.
Farmer Glad you haying went well.
daugen I like that cub, would like one like it myself.

Many crime figures are subjective as to how they get reported. The ones we could easily compare are deaths, as I doubt they would get filed in the wrong column or the wrong box ticked. I looked up these figures from our published national statistics and with a calculator, come up with the following numbers :- England and Wales combined homicide figures for 2015 For every million of the population, a total of 8 died from homicide. The most common method of killing is by knife, or other sharp object and accounts for 3 of these out of every million people. Less than 1 person per million was killed by shooting. Trends Homicides are not constant each year, although the fluctuations are not really that great. <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=471534"/> It will be interesting to see how these compare, if you have time to get the figures.
