CB--to the NE of me, beyond the horizon, the sky is afire with lightning. Hope you got done spraying.

No I haven't been able to get in my hay field and the east pasture is still to wet.
I was able to get the two bottom and back pasture. Got stuck in the back when the ground fell
out from under me in one spot. I am spraying on my little tractor as well cause that Massey
out weighs that NH by nearly a ton.
 
11 acres of Klein/Bermuda baled and in the barn. Made 51 5x5 rolls. Ready for an inch of rain...... Weather idiots dropped Fridays chance to 40%......
 
I saw hay being baled yesterday a few miles up the road from me, but it was on a hill side and hilltop, so there is some being baled here--quality unknown.
 
I will have to get this tested. First time baling Kleingrass. Did get fertilize on it in early May. Barns are almost full. Probably have space for maybe 16 more rolls.

Dam we've made a dam mess of this country with all these dams. All because of us, the cancer of the earth.
These dams have saved many a life and much property by being able to hold back flood waters and then allow it to come out at a manageable level instead of just allowing it to run wild. A dam and a reservoir on the Blanco River might have prevented all that chaos and death but the water came through uncontrolled....42 feet high !!!!!!

Let's not forget to mention the enviromental benefits of hydroelectric power, a dependable water supply for irrigation, potable water to hundreds of rural and urban users, and recreational uses that allow economic benefits of tourism to the economy :idea:

I agree we need the dam, dams for sure. And the reason being is we need population control. Before we over populated this country there was no need for the dam dams. Everything was fine for man and beast, now it's screwed up for both of us. And sadly there's no fixing it, without a major die off.

Man lets pray that sucker doesn't have much wind speed to it, wet as these soils are the only thing standing tree wise will be tallow and mesquite!
 
HC, at this point, I don't think the wind is gonna matter. The roots will probably just float the trees up anyway. The remnants of Hurricane Carlos in the Pacific will wind up in west or central Texas and this thing down in Yucatan are going to come up thru East Texas/W. La.
The double whammy.

This mornings weather statement:
Special Statement
Statement as of 5:00 AM CDT on June 14, 2015

... Increasing risk for heavy rainfall especially on Monday and Tuesday
could lead to a dangerous flood threat for parts of southeast Texas...

Periods of showers and thunderstorms can be expected for the next several
days as deep tropical moisture streams across the area. There continues
to be a threat of locally heavy rainfall... and flooding is a possibility
where any type of training sets up. Additionally... a tropical disturbance
near the Yucatan Peninsula is expected to move into the southwestern
Gulf of Mexico today and potentially organize into a tropical depression
or tropical storm as it heads toward the northwest Gulf through Tuesday.
Rounds of heavy rainfall will likely accompany this system resulting
in a potentially dangerous flood threat for portions of the area.

Through Wednesday... widespread rainfall totals could easily average
6 to 8 inches with some amounts exceeding 10 inches where the best
training sets up. This will obviously lead to a dangerous flood situation.
Flash flood watches are going to be needed.


Residents across southeast Texas are urged to closely monitor the
weather over the next several days.


I JUST got my garden re-tilled and ready to replant after my last one died an inglorious drowning death, with the few survivors succumbing to a steam N bake death right after the water receded. Had planned on re-planting corn today--why bother?

This is all HC's fault.
That is my story and I am sticking to it.
 
I spread fifty pounds of Alamo switch grass in late March. Some sprouted then died be cause of too much water, but the weeds are thriving.. Just wanted this for the last covey of quail on my place.

You are not alone mine is up and barely hanging on by the looks of it.
This round of rain might finish it off.
 
This mornings weather , every one os the spaghetti models have that storm in the gulf making landfall on texas coast. Somewhere between port Isabel and Galveston. Sure. Looks like somebodys going to get a lot of rain. If it grows up their going name him bill
 
Ran the diesel generator this morning and the bulk tank is full.
Mrs headed to town for more can goods have no earthly reason for what
you could live six months out of the pantry now. Guess that pack of Comanche grandkids
drew down the reserves last week below her comfort level.
Need to pick up a few more pair rubber boots as they are becoming a fashion statement
in manly footwear. No joke the feed store, mens clothes shop here is now carrying different
color rubber boots with design patterns.
