Good Morning!!!! 42F @ 5:15AM. Showers early, then becoming windy with a steady rain for the afternoon. High 48F. SE winds at 5 to 10 mph, increasing to 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a half an inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Lots of folks go to the Big Texan to try eating that monster steak, but few get the meal free because you also have to eat all the sides and rolls, too. I've never eaten there, but the locals told me the rest of the food on the menu isn't all that great. Outside Amarillo is the
Cadillac Ranch, just west of the Amarillo town line, is said to be something to see, but on all those Amarillo business trips, I never had the time to go look. It would make a great photo op here on GM, Drew (hint, hint).:laughing:
Busy day yesterday, raking, spreading decomposed granite, then sprinkling Preen on about half of it. Used all I had, and with the wind blowing, no telling how even the coverage was, as the grains were the same color as the DG. Used the landscape rake on the back of the tractor to clean up the stubble on what used to be lawn out back, made very short work of that. Then put the rest of the DG down with the FEL, raked it out by hand, and called it good enough. Home Depot doesn't stock the big bags of Preen, but I have a two and a half gallon jug of RM43 I'm gonna try to spray at first light, as rain is due in by eleven o'clock and it needs two hours before it's rain safe.
Also need to move a pallet of firewood into the garage before it starts raining; there's rain in the 10-day forecast every day except Thursday and Friday. Looks like Mother Nature's gonna try to play catch up.
UPDATE:
Latest forecast is for a couple inches of snow down to 800' elevation:shocked:!
And health officials say influenza has arrived in the county; good thing I got my flu shot last Thursday!
