https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/double-back-grassfire-in-grady-reaches-350-acres-threatens-structures/ This one blew up in a hurry. The grass is so dry, no rain in months, south winds. They threw everything at it yesterday. The pontoon type planes sweeping down and refillling on Lake...

We’re on fire again. Hood, Erath and Eastland. Several counties. High wind. They’re popping up

Over 16 inches of rain. Your drought is over. If the brush piles didn't wash away, you'd be safe to burn them now. Dang !!! I hope you folks are okay.

We are three for three in Glen Rose. All three rent houses took minor damage. The bad things is the huge pecan trees provided a whole lot of shade. They are mangled. The old house still has a lot of shade on three sides.

My new Stihl chainsaw is a MS 250. Its probably got 20 hours on it and it quit. When you pull the rip cord its almost like there is no compression. I've never seen a Stihl do this. Got out the 44 and got it started then broke the chain. No spare. The 25 is probably 30 years old. The...

There is a Credence Clearwater Revival retribution band called Fortunate Son. I bought 13 tickets to take the wife for her birthday and her family and best friend, Saturday night. It was an awesome show. Especially appreciated was acknowledgement of veterans, gratitude for their service, and...

The migration must have started. My feeders are covered up. We've never had this many hummingbirds and it all started last week. Skeeter population around the house decreased too.

When was the last time you saw a paper straw ? I can't remember. With all the hoopla over "plastic" straws I was trying to remember the last time I saw paper. The wax on them made them burn like candles at times.

Some folks here are work started telling me about the Piney laser. I mounted one on the side of my scope on the 22. Rolled it down on about a 55 degree angle putting it shining just above and to the left of the rifle bore. It makes it a little cumbersome to zero in since it is skewed, but I...

There used to be a maw and Paw burger joint in Jasper, Texas that had hamburgers 15 cents or 10 for a dollar. Dad always fed us kids there when we went up to visit my grandparents. No Whataburger or Burgerkings around towns back then. One day they told me you could now get a burger with...

Several car companies are making a charcoal gray vehicle that blends in with the pavement perfectly. People driving these cars should seriously turn on their headlights. People driving these cars at 6:15 a.m. with no lights are likely suicidal.

My fancy bee suit came in the mail. I'm not so sure it'll be needed for my two hives so much, but I am now looking forward to yellow jacket and red wasp wars.

There was a Daneker clock ("Senator" model) advertised on Facebook. $200 Supposedly in working order but needed put back together. I still got that 1-800-sucker tattoo on my head I think. I bought the clock. 3 days of work, another $60 worth of parts, and it runs. Runs good. The...

Made it to New Roads. Staying in St Francisville tonight. Navarre Beach, Florida tomorrow thru next week. Navarre vacations are my favorite down time.

Now there's tons of "Go fund me" ads, emails, notifications right along with people wanting you to donate items in the for sale sections. "Wanted.........prefer it free or very low price" (don't we all want things for free) SMH

A man called me wanting some feeder steers. I have a couple. Checked prices from the sale barn and quoted them to him for that price. This simply means I don't have to haul them. He came out. He started dickering. On and on. I simply smiled and told him I'd take my chances at the barn...

They split a couple of dairy calves (twins) off of an old dairy cow. No bids at $50. No bids at $25. No bids at $10. No bids at $5. One bid and $2.50. He took 'em both for $5 Been a long time since I've seen this.

Mercy!!! School is started. I've bought 8 or 9 T shirts for the granbabies. Then there is the T Shirts for football games. Then there are football pictures. Boy Scouts are selling popcorn and atleast a dozen kids have hit me up. Now work is having the United Way fund drive. I have...

Wow!! We were stuck at my sisters place north of St Francisville, Louisiana for a couple of days. No power. No phone. No internet. That part was great. Back up "whole house" generator ran off of propane so we had lights and A/C. We went there from Shreveport down 49 to Alexandria then...

Wow!! Just got a huge job offer. Have to move to Kansas tho. Since I sold the farm last year, there's very little holding me back. The job I have now is decent. The family is here. Just don't think I can move away from the grand babies.
