36 now...brisk. A high of 65 predicted. It should be dry enough to do my occasional yard clean up with the chipper/shredder.

Funny thing...I always leave my tractor inside the garage when not being used. There will be the occasional night or nights out though, as it is now since I have a trailer on the 3PH. Anyway, I walked over to the Deere yesterday and noticed down low a male plug. Yep, block heater! After 2 years of ownership, and doing my pre-work walk around, I finally noticed that yes, I do have a block heater.
I feel pretty stupid after that!! And I'm glad I didn't order one at my local Deere dealer a month or so back as I had planned to...

Good Morning! 66 with a high of 90 today. Ron I hope your back gets better, give it time to heal, take it easy.
Today I'll smooth out and level by adding or taking away gravel, and add a layer of sand to the compass rose circle. I will then compact it. Repeat till a perfect base.

I dug up an old soda water bottle yesterday with the FEL it had "Giddings Coco Cola Bottling Co" in raised letters. I have never heard of a bottling co in Giddings Tx and can't seem to find any info. A mystery to be solved!

Made it to doctors yesterday. Medication has only let me sleep about 3 hours. But I can stand straight up. Got medication for a few days. Then going to try some therapy for the first time.

Good luck with the therapy!!
Definitely take it easy...back problems can go from bad to worse rapidly. Been there and I hope you don't get as bad off as I was.

BTW, be careful of any cortizone shots the doctor may prescribe. I'm sure you've read about the meningitis epidemic currently going on.

Good morning all! 40* here and sunny, headed to 70* later. Looks like rain for the next few days. I got the bagger on the lawn tractor so I'm ready to start my war on leaves when they hit the ground.

Ron, glad your back is feeling better. You'll probably feel another pain in the backside when you see the total for gassing up the motorhome!

I don't think the turkey would agree! D couldn't resist.)

I'll let you know if he complains

1050- clear skies, sunny and cool

Today's the day for the rest of the turkeys to meet the "cone of (permanent) silence". Only 4 - so not a huge task, that is, until the get loose.....(I hope not). Into the chill tank and then tomorrow I'll package. I decided to try food grade bags that shrink with heat. appeared easy enough on the company web site.....we'll see.

Wife is home to help so it will go quickly

I bet the Antique shop in Giddings will have some info on bottling Co.

Drinking second cup of coffee. 56 degrees with cloudy skies. Heading to 60 degrees with rain this morning and clearing this afternoon. Feeling much better today Thanks for the wishes Roy. Made sure shots were OK. Not sure about therapy. But willing to give it a try. Want to get out and do projects. But afraid to I will have a relapse.
Still waiting for the Sweep. Go Tigers!!!!:thumbsup:
Good Morning All.

It's in the 50's this morning, but raining. I'm sorry I didn't take Tuesday off to got hiking and get some photos of the fall colors. This year they are more vibrant then they have been in years. I'm guessing record rain fall in September has something to do with it. I'm hoping some/most of the leaves are still on the trees Saturday so I can get some photos then.

Hit 76 yesterday, beautiful fall day. My younger brother came out to show off his new truck, a leftover 2012 Colorado, he had a 2001 Ranger Sport Trac that was up to 242,000 miles. Supposed to rain much of today and tomorrow so am going to run errands today and hopefully gas will be down a little need 27 gallons to fill my GMC.

Good morning! Sun is just coming over the hill and the light is hitting the vibrant Fall leaves - beautiful !!! It's 52* now with a high in the mid 60's with rain this afternoon. Wish all the colorful leaves would hang around for a while. Have a good one.

Good morning! 66 now with a high of just 80, the dry cool front blew in. Some of the Post oak leaves are just starting to turn.

Ron the Antique store has been open less than 10 years, but it is a good place to start. I saw one sold on E-Bay from Cedar Park Tx, the picture on e-bay one was too small to see but the shape of mine is different, mine has straight sides and is 8oz not 6oz. I did see a small blip on one collectible bottle site that only said Giddings Coca Cola 1924-1927, so that may be the time frame to look into first.

Got chilly overnight, around 40 at daybreak. Mid 70's today they say. Have a good day all.

 

[deerseeker001]

Haven't posted here for a few days. We are back to our normal WET coast weather pattern. Had a couple of rain storms over the weekend and anther one today.
Yesterday was dry so got some nice composted dirt with the tractor over to the garlic beds to top dress them.
High of 51 today and lots of rain.

 

[JDgreen227]

Just got home...gas was down to $3.55.9 so I pumped 98 bucks worth into the truck, just got groceries all put away...3/4" of rainfall overnite and tonite but now it's clear for a while anyhow. Hope it remains that way.
