No, they live in Georgetown. The family lived in the barn on the "farm" after the first flood years ago. They had to sell their house to keep the farm afloat. 2 years ago they moved closer to the schools to Georgetown. They have two boys and a girl. She is the human resource manager and...

Good evening 87˚ after sunset. FireWise went well, hot but no injuries and no lost or found glasses. Costco came through with the new glasses today. Watering is on the agenda every evening till we get some rain, best chance 30% next Tuesday. Hope you had a restful night Drew.

2 still are missing in Kerr County.

Good morning! 69˚F heading to 90˚ with clear skies. Went to the fall orientation at the adventure farm and start hauling people next week. I was the oldest person re-hired and one of the few without a nose ring or tattoos. The tractor route will be changed after the flood. It is going...

Good afternoon! 94˚F Heat index 100˚. Summer's back. Had a call this morning that my glasses were found then a few minutes later he realized those were his glasses and called back to give me the disappointing news. I guess he did not recognize his glasses because they were bent up like...

Had reports today that 2 of the people that also got stung got really sick, throwing up and feeling really bad. I must not be allergic to the bumble bee's toxins - just swelling and itching here. Another one of the persons that lost their glasses is using my metal detector to try to locate...

FireWise did not go well. I was cutting up a dead tree that was on the ground when a swarm of bumble bees covered me. One of the guys said it looked like a dark cloud around me. Bumble bees are not usually aggressive UNLESS you disturb their nest which apparently I did. There were 19 people...

Good morning! 57˚F which is cold for us, but will warm up to 90 by this afternoon's full sun. We only got a 1/2" rain over the weekend, still very dry. Pool temp has dropped to 78˚, so only hot tube till next summer. FireWise brush clearing this morning followed by mounting my new garage wall...

Good afternoon! 102˚ but the humidity is low, 28% so the heat index is also only 102˚. Water temp 87˚. The August Tempest Weather Station summary reported came in email today. The low for August was 68˚ the high was 103˚ and we had 2.13" of rain.

Good morning! A refreshing 62˚F morning but an uncomfortable 100˚ afternoon. Sunny skies, S wind. Pool temp has dropped to an uncomfortable 81˚ hopefully it will warm up enough this afternoon. Rain and cooler weather this weekend, last week to swim. A dash cam caught a BH hitting a bridge in...

Happy Labor Day! 91˚F HI 101˚ It was supposed to be cooler, oh well another day in the pool (water temp 86˚). Next week starts Fall FireWise brush clearing, we were off during the summer. Pic is of the Rock Rose plant that I planted last year when it was only 3". All the flowers fall off...

The fences, pens and the grass has to be in good shape. He always spent more on feed, new fences and pens than he made selling calves.

Same here. Been years since helping Dad load cattle to take them to Lexington. Finally got someone to haul them after we round them up in the pens. I remember during one of his last hospital stays I told him all the cattle have been picked up and sold at the auction in Lexington. The land...

My new Battery pole pruner. Either 6' or 9'. I only have cut a few branches to see how it cuts. Will wait for cooler weather when there are no 100˚+ days.

Yes, but the smart meters can be dumb. Just had a $300 credit to my account after they found out that the meter was reading for 5PSI instead of 2PSI. But it took 2 months and about 30 calls, an hour each call, to get it straight.
