Good morning!!!!

[farmer2009]

55 this morning and made it to 75 today. Currently a rain cooled 64. About .7 inches in the last 30 hours.

Managed to ween calves and separate cows yesterday between rains. So there is a serenading going on here currently. I'm sure the neighbors are happy. . Also birds are migrated.

Plans for today got drastically changed. After a preschool meeting about the boy I ended up with him at the doctor. He's got strep again.

Kyle. Here's the label for Basagran. http://www.cdms.net/LDat/ld89N004.pdf

It's labeled safe for corn, peas, and beans. The other crops aren't grown in a garden setting. So a rotation within the garden may be required. It good on yellow nutsedge under 8" tall.

You are correct. Sedgehammer is not labeled for use outside of turf.

We got a little rain this afternoon, got dark and gusty, but little rain. I use diatomaceous earth in my flowers, gardens and around where the outdoor cats eat and sleep. No beetles, fleas, ticks or other bugs. It doesn't really deter them, just kills them stone dead and is safe for all.

Good morning all. Blue sky in every direction this morning, though not much above freezing - and they say it's going to get colder.

The welding addiction Kyle warned me about took hold after tea last night. A friend had given me a full pack of Lincoln 6013 to practice with, so I skipped coffee to get out as soon as possible and burn up a few rods. They are very nice, if I'm not careful, I can see me getting hooked on top branded rods to feed this habit.

It's likely not the maker of those rods that's made them run so nice, Eric, but the fact that they arrived in a sealed package and had not absorbed a lot of moisture. If you can find a large zip loc bag to store them in, or bake them for several hours at 300F right before using, they'll keep running nice. And when they're gone try the same treatment on bargain basement rods to help you make your best showing...

57 going to 73, rain has stopped and a nice moon is shining through the fog.

Randy, I checked the Shenandoah NP website, and the fire closure area is huge. Although the fire map shows the fire mostly on the western side of the Blue Ridge, a section of the Skyline Drive is closed, the Appalachian Trail is closed for 17 miles and the trail where I went fishing is closed. I hope the rain helped. They are using 4 helicopters and 2 tanker aircraft.

I don't know anything about welding, but enjoy reading what you guys are up to...glad you're hooked, Eric.
