Kyle glad your mom came tru with flying colors

If you tried to snoop around like that here RS without asking the land owner first,,,,,,, you would be picking buckshot out of your back side. :laughing:

I was on my next door neighbor's property ... which I have permission to be on (Just as he does on mine)

His land abuts the parcel that is being logged ... but that parcel that is being logged is owned by a different owner.

BTW, the post of mine you quoted has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what you're talking about ... that's my property in those pictures ...

Hopefully, you don't have any morons living near you ... that allow 15 ton skidders to be run willy-nilly over very wet ground containing high-pressure gas transmission lines ... that are only buried a few feet below the surface ...

Kyle the area North of Giddings has had 2-3" rain and a tornado in Bryan off Hwy 6. Looking toward Giddings I see lots of lightning and more rain is expected.

Kyle just had a report from wife's friend in La Grange that she heard from her grandparents that some roads were flooded in Giddings. (9:30PM)

good evening all. 74F this morning had rain and wind in the forecast this morning, but no rain and humidity dropped late this afternoon. If the rain holds up on radar will have some rain tonight and more tomorrow. Still doing a lot of consulting time which helps pocket book, but cuts into working around here .

Kyle good news on your mom!!

Ed it is a lot of hard work moving, still don't have this place lined out the way I want it, a year later

Got tubing requirements figured out for the soil screen this morning and got a quote from the steel supplier.

Then spent most of the rest of the day working on the garden area ... got the lumber all removed from the bottom of the area which is still pretty wet and used the landscape rake to rake wet soil up and out, and dry soil down and in.

Took a little break and did some work grading and clearing out roots in one of the circles down by the house.

The forecast was updated to 0% chance of rain for today, 50% chance between 02:00 and 04:00 tomorrow and then nothing again until 18:00.

Partly sunny tomorrow with a high of 81F ... so if we dodge the bullet on the precip until tomorrow night I should be able to get the garden area cleaned up and the trail down to south end repaired (currently a mud pit at the top)

Once that's done I can start moving brush to the rear of the property.

Giddings has rec'd almost 9". There is major flooding, especially just east of Giddings on US Hwy 290. There are water rescues happening right now. Pray that people get out OK.

64 right now...heading up to 87.
Mowed the backyard and both sides...started the front. I expect to knock off work at 1100 this morning and I'll finish the mowing this afternoon.

A very promising start to the morning here. Yesterdays heavy cloud cover has gone, the sun is working away at the thin mist at the bottom of the hill and the best show of hawthorn blossom for many years is lighting up all the hedgerows.

David, hearing about the challenges you continually face in generating and storing your own electricity makes me much more appreciative of our on grid electrical supply. Must admit though that when seeing the size of your batteries, it did make me think that a few dead ones would make excellent rear ballast weights for a tractor .

Kyle's mom :thumbsup:

Clear skies, 68 and headed to 89. Yesterday hit 92.

Planned to spray some food plots yesterday, put the pump on the sprayer and the sprayer on the tractor and, waited for the wind to die, which it never did. So mowed for a few hours...enough for my front left wheel to collapse from metal fatigue at the bearing hub. This has happened before, so I had a spare wheel to swap out...but I just don't understand why this happens every few years. I keep them well lubed and just swapped out the spindles last year.

Fingers crossed it won't get too windy today. I'm a month behind schedule for tilling and planting because the ground has been so wet.

 

[Buppies]

65 this morning high of 85 later chance of storms later but they could be wrong rained until 10:00AM yesterday and no one warned of of that

Billy, neat picture. Is that a black snake? corn snake, chicken snake, rat snake, whatever local name they give it...it looks familiar.

...

We think it is a northern water snake. I've seen them swimming in the river, too.

Talked to a neighbor-farmer and he said he was tired. He does custom corn planting and he had been up for and planting corn for about 36 hours. The bad part was he had planted about 20% of what he needs to plant. A lot of people need a lot of time to get things done. Ed

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 58° with clear ckies this morning. Heading to 85° with chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Got everything out to spread mulch. Wife suggested that we move some plants. Plants are moved. Mulch is still in trailer. Back on today's list. Will cut lawn later in the day.
Those in bad weather be safe.
Good Morning All.

Good Morning All. 58 here going to 86 with 60% chance of thunderstorms. My wife and I are going out together for the third time in about 4 years. :cool2: As caregivers it is very hard to get time off together. We plan on going out for breakfast and then furniture and freezer shopping for the new house lunch and be home by 4 pm. :cool2: We close in about 2 weeks and it is time to make final decisions. Hope we can leave all of the stress of moving at home and enjoy the day.

Have a great day. Ed

68 this morning and headed to 88 today.

Need to move some equipment around for hay season. Wish weatherman would make his mind up what about what it's going to do. I need 4 days clear and sunny weather. Then some rain. Last 2 years we've been stretched out over 6 weeks each getting all our hay cut and baled. Last year everything got rained on at least once. But we finished first cutting in mid July. Some people hadn't even started because they were waiting on weather.

Then do some decrusting.

Kyle good news on your mom.
