Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Kyle_in_Tex]

My neighbor was out on her morning walk at 7:15 this morning and called me. "I hope it's not to early to call." She said, "But you have two geese eating grass on your hillside." I laughed and told her they'd been hanging around all week. She's been so busy lately that she hasn't been able to take a morning walk. Her husband had a bad reaction to medicine last week and it took CPR to keep him alive long enough to get him into the hospital. After 16 hours, he woke up and seemed just fine. They have adjusted his medications and put in a defib-pacemaker. He came home yesterday afternoon. It's no wonder she hasn't had time to get her morning walk. Anyhow, she was overjoyed to see the geese and hear them honking up a storm this morning. I wouldn't want a whole flock of them, but two is nice. My cats don't know what to make of these big new birds. All they have ever seen are turkeys.

I would give a shiny penny for some good video of geese chasing a cat off. Seen it happen before. It is so funny. Puts the cats in their place.

Yep 2 geese are OK, but any more and you'll need a Pooh drag:laughing: When we lived in Colorado, there where times when golfing you where hitting the ball resting on goose pooh!! ( Close your mouth in these situations) Like you said, a couple I would greatly enjoy and the cats best lighten their Texas attitude with theses cranky birds.

Sitting in a motel in Nacogdoches......watching it rain...Doing my part to bring it home Wednesday or Thursday, but sure makes working outside tough.

Western; You'd better bring some warmth back with you too. Just looked at a forecast and they are calling for 36 out here Thursday night. I'm not sure my buckets and Tunnel Cover are tall enough to cover my tomato plants now, as big as they've gotten. ullinghair:

Charlie,
I wish it was just a day. It took around 14 hours over two days with my tractor. I need a bigger tractor if I do it again.
hugs, Brandi

 

[bindian]

now that place is fancy, fancy...your rig is really doing a great job, and you, too, quite a story about how you put it together. :thumbsup:

Thanks John.
hugs, Brandi

 

[bindian]

At two Krogers in Conroe, the one on 336 South and one up on Davis St.

That Offset turned out pretty good, I guess you got the hydraulic lift working:thumbsup: Now you have to keep it 'busy":laughing:

Drove up this early morning from Conroe to Nacogdoches, fog so thick in spots it was 30mph for me (as little cars blew by at 75mph sometimes passing me before i knew they where there??) I hung out with the "big rigs" on this 2 hr drive,,, call me "chicken":laughing:

Oh, when Lou said it was "raining on the coast" he wasn't joking, I almost missed work, but it stayed South and West of Conroe. There is no doubt someone in the Houston area has a new tiller:laughing::laughing:

Dennis,
The hydraulic cylinder needs rebuilt as it is bypassing internally. My plan is to not keep that disc busy.........just my backhoe. Less wear and tear on me and the machine and more $$$ per hour.
I'll take discing jobs here and there to remind me of my Dad's roots.......and to learn more on pasture rejuvenation for hay. Learning the ropes from the ground up:laughing:
Guess someone else got a new tiller...........it's pouring now.
hugs, Brandi

Off and on light rain here, just when I think it may dry out. I'm suspecting Jimbo is driving around with the tiller in his truck!!:laughing:

Farmgirl, doing best I can to bring us some rain ( I hear there's a girl in Parker county that will dance "neked") but y'all will have to work on the cold "thang", plenty of work for me just drag'n rain North!!

Keep driving, Jimbo, and maybe I'll begin dancing earlier today. Looks like they have decreased our chance of rain to 40% tonight, and lowered the projected low for tomorrow night to 35. I am so done with winter!
