Mine isn't sawed off, but I have my dad's old .22 pump, that was his birthday present when he was a young kid. I also have my Rossi replica of that same .22, that did bought me as a birthday gift, one year. Both are accurate, and lethal, but then, my sights are not off. If you are doing that will with your .22, that is some really nice shooting!

I remember the saying:

Red touch Yellow, Kill the Fellow
Red touch Black, a Freind of Jack.

Your right about that. I killed a Coral snake when I was young and my Mom repeated the red and yellow kill a fellow. I just looked online for photos of Corn snakes andI did, indeed, killed a good snake. When it was in the tall grass, I was really afraid it was a cotton mouth and feared for Booger. I never got a good look at it until I buried it. I never had an inkling a Corn snake would take to the water like a cotton mouth would.

OK folks. When I was out feeding livestock this evening, I did that nekkid rain dance again. It is now clouding up and thundering! If this works 2 nights in a row, I'm going to start hiring myself out to dance!

Dang! Brandi, I'd head for the water if I saw a mad woman with a .22 coming after me.

Brandi those diamond mouth cotton back rattle snake,, are most dangerous,, be careful, I don't like snakes of any kind.. People tell me but they kill rats.. and I kill snakes.. so we are both in the killing business.. I also kill Texas rose bush.. along with tallows trees.. now if they eat the rose bush and tallow trees.. maybe I could back off on killing them,, till the roses and tallows are gone.: laughing:.

Yehaaaaw! We got 3/4 of an inch yesterday afternoon. Lots of wind, and the power was out for about 2 hours, but we really needed the rain. For once my timing was perfect. I had just fertilized a bunch Bermuda that I had seeded in the front yard right before the storm came in. Now I can skip all the watering that I've had to do.

Yes Lou; You are now officially the "Dancing Mo-chine!

Native; Good the hear you got some rain, and in a decent quantity!

It thundered and lightened all night, and has been an on again - off again light rain. Not even as hard as a heavy mist, but I have another tenth in the rain gauge to go with the 0.6 that I got Monday! At least the dust is settled, and the pastures are looking greener! 30% chance this will continue through today, and a predicted high of 89*! I'm not complaining, I'm dancing! :cool2:

So you have 0.7" of rain and I didn't get any this time. Don't you feel bad for giving me a hard time last week when I got some rain?. . . naw, didn't think so.

I'm afraid all the rain I've gotten came out of the bizzness end of a sprinkler. The sky is overcast and dark this morning, but I'm not gonna be silly enough to think it'll do anything but be cloudy for awhile. My best chance was yesterday afternoon, and it didn't happen.

Besides Kyle and I , is there anyone in Texas who did not get rain In August so far? We are holding out for the gully washer.

Been reading the Tropics for Development,, This what they say.. copied from AccuWeather.com

A large area of disturbed weather over the western Caribbean is moving toward the west-northwest at about 10 knots. The tropical disturbance is centered just northeast of Nicaragua. As of Wednesday morning there is no clear surface pressure in this area right now. The pressure actually rose a few millibars overnight. However in the last several hours, an area of thunderstorms started to blossom, so the pressure might fall once again today. There is still some uncertainty where this tropical system will go once it enters the Gulf Of Mexico on Thursday night. Once this system moves into the Gulf Of Mexico, then it will have the best chance of gaining strength and forming a surface low. Most of the model guidance shows the tropical moisture moves somewhere between the mouth of the Mississippi to the panhandle of Florida. This is likely to happen on Friday afternoon into Saturday. There is a slight chance that the storm system will move slower into the Gulf of Mexico and head towards central Texas. As of right now this is the outlier, with the most probable outcome will be the system moving towards the Florida Panhandle.

Looks like the east coast is going to get some more rain.. Lou

I told you last week that if I got rain, I'd be bragging too! Want me to come do a rain dance at your place?

:laughing:

I am looking at a cell on the radar, just NW of me, that appears to be heading this way. I sure hope so anyway. I think that I will go dance some more!

Lou66 · Aug 14, 2013

I believe it time to call all naked rain dancers,, we need this rain storm,, So get out there tomorrow afternoon after it gets a little dark,, no reason scaring children dancing in the day light,, and dance like you never danced before.. if you are a novice naked rain dancer more than likely you have never danced like this..
But we need that rain and we deserve it.. so dance, dance and dance.:cool2:. Keep that fire a burning.. Someone beat on the drums,, If anyone is arrested for nudity,:shocked:, you didn’t go in the woods far enough.. plus we don’t know you.. Remember most of all we are not trying to make a statement,, we just trying to get some rain.. Only pretty people may post pictures.

Don't worry, I won't be posting any pictures! At least none where I am not in the woods and trees! I'd hate to scare some of you!

Lou,
Did the rose bush and the tallow trees attack you?

Did the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you were confronting them?:laughing:

Sure Brandi smile.. But we are not talking about your mother rose bush,, We are talking about the hated McCartney rose bush,

, some call it the Texas rose bush,, some call it the George Bush sr.,, but you can call it anything you want but it will not come to you.. They can't walk,,:confused3: but they grow everywhere.. The McCartney rose bush is taking this land..
All I will say about the rose bush is if you are out doing the naked rain dance and fall in patch of them.. get out before you sober up.. Cause it will be painful if you wait.:ashamed:. next time I write about the hated tallow tree how they suck the moisture from the master grasses while stealing the sun light.

. It's a jungle out there girl,:laughing:, Lou
