Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Wow the weather was perfect yesterday........except for no rain. Went with fishing with a friend from Church to his brothers lake. Simple style fishing, no rods and reels, just cane poles, bobber, and some minnows. Boy we had a great time. We kept about 25 good size Crappie, released the little ones. Lost count on the Strippers we caught and released(no clean). The Bass were fun and a good struggle with the cane poles. We did use a little High-Tech with and electric knife to clean and filet the Crappie. With the cool weather coming in we'll probably hit it again later in the week. We ended up with a big bowl of fillets.

56* this morning.

I think that perfect day has finally hit here today. 67˚ crisp clear energetic air. Today will be a 2 - Z day with both mowers going to cut the extended "wild" yard that gets mowed only once a year. It is an extra buffer zone in case of a grass fire.

What time does Fall begin today in Texas? We will need to switch to the Texas Fall/Winter thread.

It became Fall a little after 2100 last night.

txdon-- good news is the motor is fine. bad news = the receiver for the button transmitter is not. (little clear box on top of operator) Tried to re-do it and am not getting a green light when I push on P1. $60 for a new one. Once I get it - I should be back online. I'll be adding 2 lightning rods & ground rods. Still can't get the clutch to work....

And what a first day of fall it is here. Glorious day.

Yes, we're having some fine Fall weather . . . except we wish it would rain. I've been running sprinklers to water the lawn a bit yesterday and today. I've been seeing where weathermen are predicting an El Nino is going to give us a wet and cool Fall and Winter. I wonder if they really believe that, or if it's just wishful thinking.

They were saying that around here until mid August-then they backed off the El Nino/Rain prediction. Seems the pattern has not developed in the Pacific as strongly as they thought.

I had to go back in the "Rural Living" forum 37 pages to revive the Texas Fall/winter thread.
Now we can post in the appropriate season thread. (And only one day late!)
