Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[SirReal63]

We got almost 5.5" over the week, our black clay is waterlogged and very soupy. I had planned on dropping the fuel tanks on my old F350 this past week, obviously that didn't happen. Maybe in the next week or two.

Yep, my tractors will be parked for a while. This place is really "squishy" for days after big rains. I learned to be patient, the hard way several time over past few years.

If I get Polaris Ranger stuck I can usually get it out with its winch.

If I get the 46HP LS tractor stuck, I can retrieve it with the 96 HP New Holland.

If I get the NH stuck ..... I'm SOL for a long time.

Or you can try the Texas Bar website. They list them by name and practice specialty.

We're right at 8.25 inches since Sunday evening. Add 1.5 inches last week and we have a lot of grading and backfilling to do.

Another .54" this morning brings us to 9". One of my small pond's dam eroded and I lost about half a pond of water. Still too wet to pull the tractor out. I'm almost getting stuck with my golf cart's large knobby tires.

My knee high tomato plants are all slumped over from TOO much water. I would have liked it spread out over the next 2 months too.

Don,
Lou and I found your half a pond of water.:duh::duck::turtle::dolphin::beaver::snake::shark::frog: Like Lou said....bring buckets. I can fill up the :dumptruck:, but how many trips?:confused3:

Kyle,
Add more water.....................they will float up, like a :boat: , and won't be slumped over.
