Good morning everyone, slept in this am. Almost 6 when I got up. 40 going to 81. We have a hazardous weather outlook here. Dry weather and low humidity bring a risk of new wild fires. Not much chance of wild fires in the wet part of Tx right now. You keep safe down there, prayers sent again.
Roy glad to here you out and about. I bet it feels good to do something after being laid up for a while.
Guess I'll get the massey out and shorten the grass a little. I'll likely have a yellow cloud following me around. Have a great day. Ed

56 this morning and headed to 84 today.
Didn't get to mow yesterday so that will be first item on agenda for today. Need to move some trailers. The wife wants things more organized. Roll eyes. Then check fences and see about sorting some cows. Need to start spraying also. Grass is jumping here.
Guys in Texas stay to the high ground.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 46° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 58° with some sunshine. Busy day yesterday. Did some welding for my brother repairing his field string trimmer. Cut lawn for owners of the place we are staying at. Did some maintenance on my brothers Side By Side. Drove us into the mountains for a great hamburger meal. Working on projects at 5000' wears me out.
Those in way of the heavy rains. Stay safe and dry.
Drew, organic in my book would exclude fertilizer unless it was composted.
Good Morning All.

thanks Ron, that's pretty much what I grew up reading in the various Rodale magazines my father got but
some fertilizers are pretty natural, like bone meal. Or perhaps that is just an amendment. Amendment always seemed like an
overly fancy word for saying something else...something I'd expect on my will.
Next thing you know we'll be adding addendums to our gardens.
Been watching the temps rise, time to get moving. Lot of water hose to drag.
Just wait it out Texans and be safe. Your critters too.

Drew. My understanding of organic is only natural products.
Fertilizer. - animal or human waste.
Weed control - citrus oil or vinegar and salts.
Pesticides- have to be natural. I think BT qualifies if sprayed on. It's derived from fish.
Fungicide. - again natural but don't know what.
Organic food - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

65.9F and very sunny @ 09:00 ... predicted high here has been upgraded from 75F to 83F for the day. Should be good for drying things out.
Spent about 3 or 4 hours on the tractor grappling around yesterday and it wore me out. My right ankle that works the treadle pedal was cramping when I hit the rack last night ... but Doctor Cupcake came thru and fixed me up with some supplements and magic elixirs and I slept like a baby. Couldn't even make it through the first episode (of two) of NYPD Blue ...
Very happy with how the grapple has turned out, and how it's working so far ... should have built (or bought) one years ago. Very handy.
Was running it with just the box blade (around 500 lbs) on the back yesterday, may put the ballast block (900 lbs) on today and see how it does, although the ground is still pretty wet here in spots - including the area at the back of the property, where all of the brush will ultimately end up.
The area in the background of the image below is what I was trying to reclaim/clear/clean up. My former house guest cut down around a dozen poplars/aspens last year that need cleared out.
Have a couple of small hydraulic leaks I need to sort out, and pick up a pair of 90 degree 1/8" pipe thread grease fittings and install them so I can grease the base ends of the hydraulic cylinders.
All you Texicans take care and stay safe (if not dry)

Good morning,
Dropped off the tires at the tire shop in town and hope to have a set by this afternoon. This set will be Brigestone Fusions. $140 each. Wife is home and it will be in the mid 80s today with lots of sun. Maybe the southeast end will dry up enough to get in there to mow. Not a lot else.
rswyan, that grapple makes mine look like a toy, glad it is working out for you. I did some grapple work yesterday. Hauled two down trees up to Brian's burn pile. One was about 25' long and would not fit down the drive, so I grabbed it by the end and took it that way. Made the tractor feel a bit light on the rear but it made it. I should of had the ballast box on instead of the grader scraper.
You guys in Texas be careful out there.
