Got a no burn notice for my township this morning. In less than a week it has gone from solid green to almost all brown. At least we get dew on the grass most mornings.
Will not have to cut grass this week.

Dry here now also. Sure can change fast.

70°F and .22 inches rain

Hope to get some mowing in today
Wife got her new 20v string trimmer yesterday. Have to say it far exceeded my expectations. Looks to be a keeper.

Prayers for all

Be safe
Have a great day

We don't get individual notices around here, but a burn ban is in effect for several counties over most of north central Texas, and has been for awhile. The NWS is, and has been, forecasting a 50% chance of rain each afternoon, and several places have had such in the last couple of days, but not a drop in my area.

Back to the headless rabbit, my experience is that coons, cats and owls all do this. Fishers will also do that but like all weasels, they would likely eat the organs.

I wish all it took to stop wildfires was a burn ban. We've had a ban on outdoor burning, everything except small fires in campfire rings, since late May, and fires still break out almost every day. Lots of causes, but just about the only natural one is lightning. Tropical moisture from the Arizona monsoon is due in here on Thursday, and along with it afternoon thunderstorms in the mountains. Worse, they're saying there won't be enough moisture to get things wet enough to even slow down a fire caused by a lightning strike. That's more of a problem at elevations higher then I'm at, but I still get nervous when I hear thunder in the summer and fall.

Beautiful peppers, Drew, but what's with the Thalidomide tomatoes?:laughing:

88 and watching a t-storm pass to the south, wishing we could catch the edge.

Regarding the PTO shaft, I have 4 different kinds, and a pto adapter on a pump. Most go on without struggling too hard, but the biggest and heaviest, on the 6 ft bush hog, can be tough, especially in cold weather. It has a big black slide collar that often requires 2 hands to press back. When it is really ornery, I use a method that I described on another thread and was jokingly accused of being a **** star and inventing a new move...I straddle the PTO shaft, pull back on the collar with both hands and push the shaft forward with both knees pressed against the shaft.,,has worked every time...like having a couple of extra hands.

Left early this morning for a dump run, haircut and diesel (not all at the same place, but that would be convenient).

Took my wife on a day trip to Winchester, VA yesterday...first time going to their "Old Town" with a lot of George Washington/French and Indian War history and Stonewall Jackson/Civil War history. Interesting fact - the city changed hands 72 times during the War Between the States, 13 times in one day. Another interesting thing - it is further north than Cape May, NJ.

Anybody try the "Harry's" razor blades...got a mailer for a "free" razor/shave gel set but learned that shipping will run $3.

To me that's not free, but if the razor blades are as good the big names at a nice savingds, may check it out.
