Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Kyle here'e a bit more info from the Fire Chief: "....Engine 51 and engine 68 initiated an
aggressive interior attack for search, rescue and fire control. While they were inside an
early and catastrophic roof collapse occurred trapping them. Preliminary reports
indicated that a built-up roof with multiple layers of roofing material and tile exterior
resulting in a great deal of additional weight. A "Mayday" was initiated and deployment
of already-in-place Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT) and Rescue Units followed. The
aggressive and appropriate rescue attempt made by all our members resulted in the
multiple injuries of those currently in the hospital."


I don't think my AC capacitor is bad.
My AC compressor is running and so is everything else. Just the air coming out is not cool. Hopefully they will be out by tomorrow.

I have picked a couple of serranos, but jalapenos need a little more time. Tabasco peppers are just beginning to bloom good. Didn't plant habaneros, this year. I did however, plant one bell pepper plant. I use those fresh in home-made spaghetti sauce and other recipes! I am ready for peppers!

Your garden looks great, Western!

It might be cooler today, but I sure broke a sweat out hoeing earlier. Not so bad in the shade, but the garden doesn't grow in the shade.

Have you ever tried a "stirrup" hoe?? great for weeding, but not for deeper digg'n

I've never tried one, but have been curious about them.

Dennis, your garden looks great, especially for somebody who has to work for a living. We retired folks have a big advantage. Your squash and zucs look very healthy.

We got a nice mess of beans this morning and my grandson picked about 10 ripe cherry tomatoes. We also got a couple more yellow squash.

I've sure got a lot of purple coneflowers on my place. I'll soon have lots of purple gayfeathers too. My grandson and I went Mule riding this morning and he got it stuck. I managed to get it out and then promptly stuck it really good myself. I brought my tractor and pulled it out with him driving. For a 13 yo kid, he did a good job of driving while I pulled him up a very narrow ridge on the hillside.
