Texas Spring/Summer Thread

East Texas ALWAYS gets the rain

Jim-- not trying to hog the rain. When we pray for rain we pray for all our "Texas Cousins".........we know that we all need rain whenever we can get it. Prayed extra this morning in church for those in Texas that are more in need than others. FG needs to be dancin' and not out goofing off. It took here a little time last year but she came through in the clutch.

Jim,
How'd you like some fresh pond cat with that?
We have been trying to catch some bad turtles but the cat got to the wieners first.
Glad to see you posting. We sure miss your humor and projects.

I'm having to water something in the garden everyday. 7 -5gal buckets of snap beans, so I'm not very "popular" around the house right now Have baseball sized melons, so hopefully I can get one of those this year.

Getting hot out for me, 90* is about my "whining" point:laughing: That 3/4" or so rain we got last week lasted maybe 2 days Maybe some this weekend.

We cook em an eat em outside to avoid the stink in the house.
Still haven't caught the turtles.
Yesterday there was a bit of head left of a big cat on the hook. A turtle had eaten him up to there, even the bones.

Ron, I used to set my Case near the pond edge , then raise the bucket. Sit in the bucket with my .22, and cold drinks, killed the heck out turtles that way.

I thought you meant "case of beer" till I saw you sitting in the bucket.
If I drank a case I'd probably shoot my foot instead of the turtles.

Ron,
When I was little fishing with Dad and Grandpa in the creeks around Higgins, we had a huge turtle clean our stringer of fish. Later, I caught that big turtle, but Dad had to land that 15 inch turtle. I wanted to keep the turtle, but Dad cut it's neck off.

First and last turtle I have ever caught. We would always (still do) sharpen our 22 skills (like Dennis) taking them out. The last rains brought (about) a 8 inch turtle to the island pond. I saw him from the seat of the Big RED Beast, while building fence last weekend. I had Dad's very old Winchester pump with me, as I was looking for the big cotton mouth Booger flushed earlier.
I only saw the snake, after I ran for the Winchester, from the seat of the tractor. Shooting from an idling (vibrating) tractor is a little hard when your front site is off to the left. Needless to say, the snake and turtle live still.
hugs, Brandi
