Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning. At last it is relatively calm after yesterdays winds that whipped us every time we went outside. No damage done and in retrospect, I realise that it had one unexpected benefit - the usual background tinnitus took a days rest.

Kyle, sounds like a bit of cheek asking for you to pay towards a fence to keep out someone else's cattle. There is one good reason for having a barbed wire topped fence though, even if your hay has been trained - it is excellent for discouraging people from taking a short cut over your property.

Mostly, interesting that you have measured the depth of cut, I will get the vernier calipers out next time I have a chain to grind. Never considered before if my saws prefer to cut imperial or metric chips :confused2:

Good morning
the temp is 27°F and the high is said to be 28. Wind W 9 mph. 60% chance of flurries.
I'll get more seat time tomorrow. 10" coming.

Today is a conserve energy day up until 2 P.M. Then we will see.


Have a safe day all

Mostly, my fingers have the same problem!

43 on the way to 57 today. Hopefully the dense fog burns off.

BEF, how are you doing with work and driving and such?
Buppies, how is the fall damage coming along?
Drew, keep us up to date please.

My surgery will be 5 weeks ago this Friday, I feel the best I have in several years. I start cardio rehab on Feb 3, hope to improve more.

Good day and God bless.

No coffee this morning. 29ｰ with clear skies this morning. Heading to 40ｰ with pm rain. Did not get anything done other than shopping yesterday. Today I have a Dr appointment for a procedure that requires fasting. Then it's back home to drink and eat.

Drew, hope you are feeling better today.

Kyle, hope your neighbor figures out that if he wants a fence to keep his cattle on his place it is his responsibility. Is this your new neighbor?

DABSGT, sad story.

Phil, read a story about giving one of the drugs used for type 2 diabetes is helping with gout.

Buppies, hope the pain is going away and no broken/cracked bones.

David, hope Sophie gets her tooth taken care of soon.

Good Morning All.

RNG, good to hear site plan got approved. Looking forward to hear how the projects is done.

47 and it has been so foggy yesterday and this morning that I actually cancelled plans to drive to the gym yesterday. Should hit 58 and fog burn off by late morning.

DABSGT, nice that you guys kept David Paul close to you heart for so many years.

David, hope Sophie is feeling okay today.

BEF, they're backing off our snow forecast, too. Still say some, but they're not showing snowfall maps any longer.

Kyle, sounds like a dilemma, but even if you pay, doesn't sound like it will pay off as an investment for future neighbor relations based on how they asked. If you participate, it might give you some control over where the fence goes, and its quality (to keep cows off your hay), but will also marry you to future maintenance.

I've got a haircut and some tax work to do today.

Good morning. It's 70° here this morning and with 67° dew point ... we're fog free for a change. Forecast says 78° this afternoon. Looks like it will be overcast here all day.

I bought a set of skid shoes for my Land Pride 96" rear blade so ... I plan to install them and try out the blade on my own ranch roads before getting out on our front road. I need to reclaim gravel from the side of the road then start regarding with our land plane grader.

Ron ... hope you visit with Doc goes well.

Drew ... hope you can get on with your trip south.

Kyle ... I don't envy your position ... even though you have no obligation, under Texas law, to pay any percentage of replacement fence ... if you don't, you have no control over what gets built. Fences DO NOT make good neighbors! Sometimes ... you just get bad neighbors.

Hope everyone has an excellent "Hump Day.

Prayers to all.

Thanks for the fence information guys. No, it is not the new neighbors. I need to text the new neighbor and see if they made the same demands on them.

I really do wish I had the money to help them.

The 2 neighbors wanting me to pay have benefited from OUR barbed wire fence for at least 20 years that I know of. That's how long we've been associated to this land. They brought up complaining to the county tax assessor, and one of them so far, called and talked about previous litigation(s) that he's initiated.

My wife says it is nothing short of blackmail. There has been no bad blood between us for nearly 20 years, but then there's not been any monies between us either. No surprise that money would drive this. In fact, when we first got this land, we let 1 of them run HIS cattle on our place for a while, for FREE. The other I have hired/paid over the years for various farm services. I offered him our hay (for free) this past year if he wanted to come cut, rake and bale it.

Can I force them to build their new fence on their side, leaving mine in place?
