Good morning!!!!

[mostly_gas]

Good evening all. 57F for the start, mostly cloudy, windy, and 1.6 inches in the rain gauge. Low for the day was about 8:30 at 55F, sky cleared off, and wind died off in the late afternoon, and a high temp of 69F. Men's meeting this morning, followed by chain maintenance on the bike, bike ride (needed arm warmers). Nice long nap, then swept up acorns from the live oak, and walk the dog.
Roy, sorry to hear about your major finding in the audit, what happens now, the company I worked for never had a Major.
David, good luck with your cabinet rehab.
PJ, that's how my stepdaughter's dog dealt with snakes.
Drew, the rain and chic magnet
Prayers for all

75 today. Front coming through tonight. Noticeably colder tomorrow. Rain at some time. What we got today didn’t even settle the dust.

Spent the day putting the 3pt back on a bush hog. Dad managed to tear it off the landlords bush hog yesterday. He just wanted me to weld it back. But it had already been welded once, it was a very rusted break and I found more cracks. So I sent him for new angle iron. 3x3x5/16. Needed less than a foot total for both sides. A local machine shop gave him enough to do it. Scrap to them. Took about 4 hours of cutting, drilling and welding but it’s fixed.

Chicken coops are windrowed. When I checked them at dark they were already to 140. When they start cooling off I’ll turn them. About 20 hours in a windrow.

Did manage to get tickets to the General Jackson show boat in Nashville Friday. And a room booked for the night.

Wng. Glad to hear it works for you also.

Lots of rain headed inland. Stay safe.

Drew. Have you thought about setting up an extra shank on your cultivator tractor. Right down the middle. Put an extra wide sweep on it and dig your potatoes in with it. Now you just go through and plant the seed potatoes and cover them up. We never worried how the potatoes were positioned nature seems to figure out where the green side belongs. I’ve never seen a plant emerge roots up. Maybe your potato digging plow can serve dual duty. Plant and dig. By just being able to softly drop the seed tater in and cover by straddling the rows and dragging your feet. You can cut out most of the bending and all of the hoe work until it’s time to hill. Also broadcast spread your fertilizer and disc it in.

Wow, looks like a even burn on both sides. Any idea how it started? Is that a wooden barn with a cinderblock bottom?

Any animals perish?

wow, what an inferno. Looks really old. I'd be interested to know what started and spread the fire so thoroughly.

Had a good day today.

Hope all have a good one today and tomorrow.

One day at a time.

They said state fire marshall investigating.
Fire crew returning to station from a run saw the smoke and went to investigate.

Looks like block bottom, probably a
Bank barn.

Dont think any animals were in it.

This is probably the barn. They ran water from the creek.

Quite the blaze. Was that a cantilevered barn? I always admired those structures. Did they say the cause? As even as it is from here it looks like a tobacco curing gone bad. But I am also a few states away. But it’s time to fire tobacco here.
