Good morning!!!!

I have a buthead neighbor like that. After lots of drinking the guns and explosives come out. One time at 1 AM I awakened by a loud explosion. They raise and train Argentinian fighting dogs. :rolleyes:
I have good neighbors too but this guy is the bad apple in the bunch. You can't pick your neighbors.
I can appreciate that. Our new neighbors - who are from Argentina - are breeding Argentine Dogos as well. Best guess is that they are up to about a dozen of them now. They've gotten aggressive enough at the fence line that my Wife started going out to the barn and pasture with a handgun prominently displayed on her hip. They kept their dogs away for a few weeks after that, but then they were right back at it again. We ended up having a six foot vinyl fence erected along that fence line, so she could take our dogs, as well as some of her training clients, out there without the distractions. That wasn't cheap.

They also have a miniature cow and bull in their front pastures. The bull, of course, is on our side, and has been slowly destroying the wire fence that's been there for 50+ years. My Wife had a chat with the neighbor lady, and told her they need to a) repair that fence before their bull (or dogs) get out, and b) put the electric fence left by the previous owner back up, which the bull also destroyed, to keep him from doing it again. That was about a month ago, and of course, they've done nothing.

This is the same family that can't seem to keep up with their property, so I really didn't expect much different.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.3C and it's presently 18.1C, overcast with a very light breeze. A wee bit of a shower predicted for later this arvo.

I reckon a bit of a house cleaning is in order... especially around Penelope the Pussybeast's food area. She has to 'fast' as of 2100 this evening as tomorrow I'm taking her into the Vet (between 0830/0900) for her teeth to be cleaned.

Spring temperatures are, typically 'all over the shop', so I've sweltered during the day keeping the woodfire going in anticipation of colder nights.

That's about it, take care all.

106˚ today and now its hailing. would not be surprised to have cracked windows, it sounds like someone is throwing rocks against the windows. 1.04" rain and hail in 30 minutes. Wind gust at 25mph. Love it, except for the hail, I hope the neighbors all got their cars in their garage.

And just like that it's now all quiet. Checked the windows none cracked. The cocorahs rain gauge has over an inch in it also, all is good. Still a lot of lightening in the distance and another wave predicted around midnight.

I recall in my younger days taking shelter inside the rear duals on an open station tractor when discing or plowing and a storm would come up.

Don, I was just about to ask how bad the hail storm was. Glad no major damage I hope. They are saying softball and grapefruit size just south of you where the storm is now. Looks like it will hit Austin area hard.

Wow, I'm not sure how much patience I would have with that situation. The problem would be because they have a pack of dogs, and pack mentality takes over at times. Your wife trying to train a dog would be something that could trigger them. Just being a strange dog. Bull getting out is bad too. Call cops, authorities, let them know. I wish these types of dogs were outlawed, just applying some common sense. Sounds like your neighbors have a "don't care" or lazy attitude towards the liability they harbor. Are they land owners or renters? Hope you can keep it safe. A dog like that coming at you would require a perfect shot. The kind of situation you would like a shotgun with BB loads.

Church was great today. Went to Whataburger afterwards, then wifey and I went shopping. Cost of grocery cart with no expensive meat was $255. OUCH. I don't know how they can say inflation is not that bad. I guess just like they did with alligator bites.

I went today for my wife and I, the only meat was two packages of Italian sausage and I was at $233.
