Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

Good Morning. It's 58°F here now, down from 65°F at 5 a.m. forecast is for high of only 67°F this afternoon. It was 76°F yesterday morning. Long sleeve shirt feels pretty good this morning. 1 3/8" of rain in both rain gauges overnight. That's less than what was forecast and ..... I'm ok with that.

Not making any big plans for today as tractors are all still parked after the 7"+ rains we had last Friday. The next rain system is expected to get here about sundown today. We'll see if Don and Kyle leave any rain, for me. No tractor maintenance this weekend ..... they've not moved at all this week. I was going to hookup the 84" rear finish mower but, everything is too squishy to consider mowing for now.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and Weekend.

Prayers to all.

Good morning to all! It was 39 at 05:30 and raining. At 08:30, the rain was mixed with snow. By 09:30, full snow, large flakes, covering the ground with about 2" in an hour and a half. WHAT??? ....

So...the tractor delivery...the driver called me last night at around 6:30....said he was still 3 1/2 hours away and would like to deliver in the morning instead of in the dark. I said sure, would be better.... So at 6:30 this morning I was outside in the cold pouring rain unloading the tractor and the implements. Got soaked to the skin and very chilled. Tractor got parked, I warmed up inside.
For the brief time that I got to operate it...all I can say is WOW! Now I have to wait for everything to dry out....

There were a couple of small items that were negotiated in the deal that weren't shipped, so called the dealer and he's going to send them out....no big deal. Now I need a nap....

Here's the only pic I took so far, once the weather breaks, I'll take some better ones.

Everyone have a great Friday! Prayers sent for all.

Congratulations Ted. Was it Mike that delivered it?

Congrats Ted, I will bet that the delivery driver was surprised to be in the snow if he's from Austin

Ted- Congratulations on the new tractor. It looks good in the snow. Thanks for sharing.

Rain, rain go away. If things dpo not dry out soon I'll be checking my body for mold as well as ticks.

I hope that everyone is having a decent day and progress made on their "Things To Do Lists."

Blue tractor looks good with the white snow on it!

Only thing is that in winter you are gonna freeze your butt off.
