67 degrees with a forecast high of 89 is close to the same as Virginia, but only a 10% chance of any rain in north Texas.

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 53° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 69° with cloudy skies. Got .52" of rain yesterday. No rain again until holiday weekend. Should be able to put some weed killer down if winds stay low. Bought diesel yesterday. 20 gallon = $68. Must be a holiday coming up. No real plans for today again.

LS your trees look good.

Buppies, LS, RS and others continue with your recovery.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

Good morning all, 63 this morning going to 81 with a 30-60% chance of showers. Got the pool cover off and put away, went to the grocery and cleaned out a little of the garage. The heat and humidity were not any fun. The AC is acting up and is not cooling much. Will call for the repair man this morning.

Drew, thought the pick - shuck was a local thing. Here we dig potatoes and pick beans.

Hope everyone has a great day, prayers on the way for legs, knees, and all in need. Ed

50F cloudy mid 60's for high on/off rain today.

After work depending on the weather,either cut and stack wood or trim front field...good down time as they say.
Time for E-muffin and slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

Getting older takes little longer to mend.

warmer day today, 71 already going to 86, high humidity sure does pull the sweat out of you

Finally had to put some chemicals down in the veggie garden, Capt.Deadbug's organic powder on the cabbage, which was getting chomped to bits by
some unknown bug and then put the rest down on the sweet potatoes and beans, anything that had munch marks on them.

Hard night last night, had to make a midnight hot tub run for leg cramps, but then I was fine. I just can't do three or four hours on my feet anymore.
I go until I can't go anymore, rest, feel better, but paybacks come later.

Going to take the Gravely rider out into the corn patch today and cut down all the sections that grew nothing but weeds. That's where I wound up yesterday
and realized the job was way bigger than me. Then I work on the potato plow, new bolts holding the plowshare in, with spacer washers to improve the angle, and then
I'll go dig up some empty part of the field to try it out. Just doesn't look like it will dig low enough. Trial and error. Doubt I can use the little Massey, the lower arms seem just too short.
Since the potato rows are pretty far apart, I think I'm going to quit fooling with this, take the mower off the Kubota and put the potato plow on that, which has a hydraulic top link. Then I can adjust any which way.

Am also wondering, for those of you familiar with digging up potatoes with a middle buster, if I put the tilt part of the top n tilt, meaning I have a hydraulic side link, would angling the potato plow in one direction to turn them over directionally, almost like a standard "lay-off" plow, would that make getting at the potatoes easier?
Am wondering if there are some tricks to the operation here, never done this before.

Had to leave another thread due to folks there not to learn, or make new friends, but who only want to argue, to "get their way" over someone else.
It's sadly prevalent here, and I try to go in areas the unpleasant folk don't go. Sometimes not so easy.
Transportation is totally trolled. I won't go in Unfriendly Politics, that's where I believe all these harsh attitudes are coming from.
Folks go "in there" and come out with a ping pong attitude, you hit it to me, I'll slam it back harder to you.
No thank you.

Why not be nice as a starting point?....

It was really depressing yesterday as I worked the weedeater through heavy weeds in corn rows, no corn, I think the crows got it, and then
I look over to the corn field right next to me planted by a local farmer renting the land.

Zero weeds.
Perfect rows of perfect corn.
absolutely beautiful

my jaw got lower and lower looking at that perfect corn.
All the best that Roundup and Roundup Ready can bring you.

That's when I decided I was not going to get heat stroke out there with the weedeater
and am upping my game to the mower. Much faster than running the tiller through there again, which I will do the following time once the grass is down.
And you do none of this if you slobber chemicals over your land. (this actually is a stupid comment: proper application and good science prevail)
sigh.

If you see organic non GMO corn in the store, it's worth whatever they want for it...

That’s why this is the only thread I regularly visit. FP was making me someone I didn’t like.

42 and going to a high of 75. Wind N 6 mph. Mainly cloudy.

Yesterday junior and I put in a raised bed complete with topsoil/peat mixture over the dead dog. She was juniors' dog, so he gets the privilege of planting the flowers.

On the way out from the back where the graves are I fired up the BH and got some low hanging branches out of the way.

If you keep you grass cut short, then the snakes will relocate elsewhere. I know I have snakes in my bush, but I rarely see them on the cut lawn. I see more in the dug well than anywhere else. The dug well is ONLY used for watering the grass and washing vehicles.

Off to town to the P.O. and bank. Gotta get the cash for the gravel that 'might' be coming today or tomorrow.

The countdown is on, I'm going back to work on the 3rd of June. My dispatcher doesn't know it yet. I want a day to work out the bugs in my truck.

Have a safe day all
