FG19, I think you would like it for its versatility, another weapon in the shed:laughing: I saw one for sale at Lowes in Decatur, so the one by you probably has one you can look at. Starting to see them more frequently, I guess they are getting popular again.

EF, 1" is something to be proud of around here!!

Jim, thanks! It is "work", but as you know , the enjoyable kind. Kinda shocked you got stuck, looks real muddy?? get that much rain?? Obviously the "apple" didn't fall far from the tree, you proved it getting stuck too:laughing:

Lou, have y'all got out of the drought? sure been getting some good rains over the past couple months. I know San Antone needed what they got, just not how they got it!!

Found the problem with my AC - the condenser fan motor is not turning. That would cause it to initially blow cool but gradually blow warmer. Too bad everything is closed today. Inside temp 79 and rising. Now I just have to find a 1/5 hp GE motor somewhere.

We got an inch and a half from this morning's thunderstorm. I do not even see a change in pond levels. I can hardly tell now that we had rain this morning, except in the rain guage.

My grandson and I went Mule riding this morning and he got it stuck. I managed to get it out and then promptly stuck it really good myself. I brought my tractor and pulled it out with him driving. For a 13 yo kid, he did a good job of driving while I pulled him up a very narrow ridge on the hillside.

Oh yes, the walk of shame. I did that a couple of weeks ago when the ZTM found a new hole to drop a drive wheel in.:thumbdown:
hugs, Brandi

We are still in a drought Dennis,, This is a area that get 60 plus inches a year.. I don't think we have had 40 inches in the last two year together.. My fields are very dry,, The rain we have got is quick and hard,, but the next day you can't tell it.. Need a two or three day slow rain,, Lou

Does the fan turn? will it start if you push it with a stick or screw driver? Could be a bad run capacitor. Had to Edit: When I replaced my start capacitor, they set me up with a single capacitor that starts the compressor and fan motor. Took me longer to put the top on then it did to swap out the capaciter

Dang Lou, I though some of the coastal areas may have been able to make up some deficit. I had "heard" that a few are getting some hay down there?

Dennis some have been at the right location at the right time with the rain.. I got some, but to far between showers,, all the rain that San Antonio got we didn’t get a drop.. It goes back to that old saying,, its feast or famine,, I guess I am in the famine part.. Lou

Lou;

You and I need to make a road trip to jinman's with buckets and take back some of our rain!

And, bring your fiddle, and I'll bring my guitar, and we'll make sure the beer is COLD!
