Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Western; I wish that were the case with the windmill. I heard there used to be a functional one, in my horse pasture, but the windmill was sold before I bought here. If I could locate the site, I'd love to have this one moved to that location, and find a way to get it functional. Of course, would probably cost more than would be worth, but just think it would be neat. And then my big horse coiuld play in the water trough to his heart't content, and I wouldn't have to be out refilling the thing all the time.

Find the old hole.......move the windmill over it and have a air comprssor installed on the weather head. That way, you only have to have an airhose running down to pressurize the well. Gets rid of that connecting rod monkey motion and the pump. My uncle converted to windmills like this.
hugs, Brandi

It's raining, pretty darn heavily too. A lot of gusty wind on the front of this one. I guess I won't be picking beans this morning.:cool2:

Same here .. Came in hard with a lot of wind. Spent yesterday in the wheat field ... Wet. Had to pull out of places before the combine went down .. The rake tractor ran in 4x4 and the baler tractor left its fair share of tracks ... Won't be in the field today .. I guess go to welding. What a difference from last yr.

This is gonna be tough on Monday morning rush hour in the DFW metro-mess. The freeways will be like a Keystone Cops movie. The emergency crews better put their pants on 'cause they're gonna be working hard this mornin'.

Cant I a guy sleep, some guy up on the Wise county border is making a racket!.

Yep raining here so hard it woke me up! I think all of us in N Texas will get some of this.

Hasn't started raining here yet, but the city's emergency phone system just called to say the NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for our area. I sure don't need high winds and hail, but the hope for rain is the reason I went ahead and mowed in the heat yesterday afternoon.

 

[Western]

So far, hasn't been "to much" wind here, no hail yet, but allot of rain and lightning.

Bird, looks like you should be moments away, large "red" cell headed towards FG19, I guess she will finally get some rain too!
