Texas Fall/Winter thread!

43, feels like 39 here in East TX. My favorite time of year! Football, crisp fall air, clean fall skies, ahhhhh!

Let's go Cowboys!

I'm fixing to go buy a fuel filter for the truck, as it is due a change. I will be winding up the Cummins as I do it!!! Oh yes........turbo whine. Bascially the only whine I like all the time! Can you say.............smoke'em if you have'em!

The eye is good, but I feel it when it is tired or just woke up. Contacts seem to make it feel better, so I need to go put them in.
hugs, Brandi

Glad things worked out and hope the eye is fine!

bindian-- Sign me up for Pay-for-view. Remember "Sizzle Sells". I still think a Speaker Dance video will work too if done in costume.

If wind stays down, planning on eliminating a few burn piles today. Have one that is about 20' x 100' x of mostly Yaupon dug out with grapple last spring before it quit raining. This pile is so dry the fire may be spectacular. We have another 6 or 7 to burn also. Have been stock piling all summer during burn bans.

Rick,
We had a quarter inch of rain Saturday morning, so mine took a while to get it all going where I could come in and grill steaks.

Brandi, sorry for all your troubles last week.

My buddy had his dodge differential and transfer case explode on I35 north in heavy traffic. Oil and gears everywhere.

You got that right! My niece was dating a fireman and he said he would make her a special birthday dinner that evening. Well she got home from work on her birthday and texted him and he was out with his buddies and would not be able to see her that evening. She dumped him.

That's a pretty low blow. Lucky he didn't leave his fire axe around.

Brandi;

The big burn pile went without a whimper. The smaller piles took a little diesel as they must have still been a bit wet. Started 4 stumps from dead trees that broke at ground level when I pushed them over. Soaked them with a bit of fuel and lit them about an hour later. Hopefully they will burn and smolder to below ground level.

All our pastures are still very soft almost all over. Tractors all still safely parked. It was all I could do to NOT get the Polaris Ranger stuck several times today. Had to winch myself out 3 times yesterday. Still lots of water coming into both tanks today.

Have easily another 25-30 dead trees to take down this fall. This seems to be a never ending job. How about a Texas drought break?

I think "Minnie Mouse" would be appropriate.

Nice calm 50 degree morning, great on the porch with a cup of coffee.

Soon I will have to force my brain back to the night schedule After 30 years of "nights", it seems harder to make the transition, when I was 25, it was "no big deal"

Dennis, for nearly 10 years, I worked rotating shifts, a month at a time. My wife liked it when I worked 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. because she liked staying up late at night (still does), and I liked 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. because it was cooler and less traffic. But that 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift meant getting up at 5:30 a.m. and I usually felt a bit sick at my stomach until about 8 a.m.
