Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Dam, that is a steep dam backside. Looks to be 2 to 1 slope. Bet you had a lot of erosion before the grass took hold.

Those slick spot makers sure look peaceful. Do they make a lot of noise?
hugs, Brandi

Not much erosion. It took two days to build and compact with a small dozer for 12 feet deep water, 20 years ago.. The clay up here makes the fancy stuff you buy in a bag down there seem like baby powder.
Those geese are migrating. They stop here and other ponds on the way for a couple days to rest. They are really quite tame or very tired.
I can walk down or drive the tractor and they might paddle across the water but they don't take off. They do leave a mess. Not much noise while they are on the ground. Flying in a big V formation you can hear and see them coming from quite a distance.
If the dog tries to scare them off they just rear up, flap their wings a couple times and stare at him until he lays down and just watches.
They are quite large and interesting to watch.

Don't laugh too hard. You might put yourself on the gurney next to Foreman, to be the next under the knife.

Dam! didn't think about that Ron,!!! I suppose I could do allot worse for a roomate, but we'd be **** with the purdy nurses:laughing: till the wife got there

Ron, once when living in Colorado, my young at the time daughter wanted a few goos feathers, so dad tried to sport a few from a nesting area.....bad idea and no feathers:laughing: They are like chihuahuas if you P them O

Lou ... I was all straight on this name deal and them you throw this in .. Now I'm wondering if squirrels use there tails to pick their nose

I heard Louisiana has a new hunting law .. Stating January 2014 residents can only harvest male squirrels

Lou, I used a 3/4" break-over bar and 3' pipe cheater to break my blade bolts loose. That's been several years ago and I think the price of a big honkin' impact driver would be worth the money if I ever have to do it again.

Weather Report: It got down to 19 F here last night. We were expecting low 20s. This morning the grass has such a frost that it looks like snow covered ground. Gotta be careful walking down outside steps too.
