Good morning!!!!

The rain has slowed and seems to be draining as fast as it is raining. Since the rains started Saturday morning we have had 13.71" and it continues to rain.

Down Houston way my niece is catching gators and my nephew is doing water rescues on his jet ski.

Good evening all. 71F this morning, overcast with a few peeks at the sun, calm wind. High temp was 86F, overcast most of the day, high humidity (DP in 70'sF), east wind, cleared late afternoon. Today was mostly putter with bikes, new freewheel on 10-speed (old one worn out), was going to inspect the bearings on back wheel, but with disk brake on 1 side and gear cassette on other, and specials tools to remove, that was a no go. So it goes back to bike shop . Wife and I did play 9 holes of golf late in the day.

Drew not too keen on riding in water on 2 skinny tires :thumbdown:

Also you could deliver your wood here and cur your mileage about half

Fishing late yesterday afternoon didn't go to well unloaded boat in water than it dawn on me as I was placing the motor...no oars tackle box fish poles, :duh: sooo 25 miles back home little chewing on my ear from the Mrs. :confused2: oh well it happens.

Yep, only it seems to happen a lot more to me the older I get.
Thomas, maybe it's time you started a check list for your next fishing trip. In your case, top of your list has to be - WIFE

56 and clear, going to a pleasant 77, maybe rain tonight.

Hope so, I tilled and planted two plots in ladino clover yesterday. Tilled another plot I will plant today in bean/pea/etc. mix.

Don, that's a lot of rain...glad it is draining.

Bird, that sounds like quite a scary start to a long trip...hope the rest went better.

Good morning. All the "fat lambs" (not overweight, just a term for those that are ready to eat) have already gone to market and this morning I said goodbye to another 20 that are being sold to go onto another farm, leaving only a few now that need weaning.

The never ending Texas rainfall is the biggest topic on our news. Incredulous that so much water can have come from the sky over such a short period of time. Good to hear that some of you trapped by the flooding are at least getting in a bit of exercise - emptying rain gauges. I wonder if there is an "App" to show how much energy burnt in a day for people like Don's niece who keep fit by wrestling gators ?

Wngsprd, not many would ever think to give clover seed as a birthday present. Your son really knows his dad.

good morning all. Weather forecast keeps getting worse, now hurricane warning, tropical storm warning, flood warning, seems cyclone number 10 is offshore SC and is about to drop a lot of water coming North. Up to six inches of rain predicted.
So food shopping this morning, then hunker in for several days of rain it appears.

I hope all our TX friends keep checking in so we can keep track of you. I don't have a boat anymore so I can't come help...

Poured first cup of coffee. 60° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72° with rain and thunderstorms in afternoon. Grandkids are coming over again today. Going to put up a post for barnyard light. Will see if we get anything else done before rain shows up. Then its off to lunch at my Aunts place in town.
Not looking good for Houston area. Hope all stay safe.
Thomas, going fishing without poles/rods, tackle or oars. Next time your wife will have a checklist for you. Piece of advise. Don't lose the list.
Good Morning All.
