And I’d bet being so close to the refineries around it has caused it to soak up what they are giving off


Main culprit was a transformer company that was dumping oil in ditch connected to lake.
I’m curious if it has the capabilities to place FW’s as needed for shipping of spools. How does it, or can it address continuations on other ISOs?

I still have takeoffs done to bump against the BOM’s we get from the engineering firms. Surprised at the number of errors we still have.

That’s what I’m going to use on tenfoe when my grandson is old enough. He’s big mad at them. :lol:
I stagger my plantings. Gets too damn hot up here for solid tomato yields if I wait until Mothers days as most do around here. Hell, going to be in the upper 90s this weekend and it was 18 yesterday.

It was 18 here yesterday and it roasted everything. Just going to put more seeds in the ground this weekend when it’s in the high 90s.
I went from bad squirrel problems, to a bad rabbit problem. I’ve wrapped them with chicken wire, netting works too, but a pain to deal with, especially with the wind up here. Honestly, the best solution is to pellet gun.

Good morning everyone. About to hook up the boat and go chase ditch pickles and sacalait.
I like the angle, would be nice if they could get him to fast track it as well.

Anymore good news? :lol:

We had a good run last year weather wise, I knew it wasn’t going to last.

The big difference in us being dry and you all out west is that they've doing prescribed burns through the dry spell here. Can't do that everywhere.


No, they’ve been severely restricted and haven’t gotten in anywhere close to the number they intended to. I hear “fire season started early this year” a lot.

Storm west of Greensburg , LA is now tornado warned.


Check out the hook on that storm.
The big one SW of us was rolling along pretty good, but wind died down when it got close to major highway. Firefighters did a hell of a job getting it under control. It’s unsettling to walk out in the morning and it smells like an ashtray and sky is gray.
Texas panhandle, north of Amarillo. We’ve already had a few in last couple weeks.

ETA-I’ve been out scouting for turkeys and the vegetation crumbles when you walk through it. It’s been a very dry fall/winter and humidity has been very low.
Got a dry thunder storm warning this afternoon. Lightning starts hitting this dry ground, place is going to go up like a tinderbox.

Leftover fried wild turkey nuggets, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy.
I would have thought the Hispanics would have been higher with the blacks. I see it constantly in construction, you can’t mix them or you’re asking for trouble. While in the military in SA, the locals would get very aggressive with them.
