Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Don, think if we get enough cactus beer into Kalifornia it would end the drought?

You may want to start off with one instead of a 6-pac - mighty potent.

My gravel road is now passable, but the first bridge I come to is not. The water level here is still rising from the run-off.

They must not update gravel roads - still have about 2' of water going across the road.

Our neighbors are in Wimberly Tx - they had 13" of rain bridges are washed out - 300 homes gone - very serious. Their most rain in recorded history.

Still on the hill/ island.

That's nasty weather. All the snakes are on the hill by now too. 300 homes gone, whew. Hard to imagine 13" of rain. I know 4" will start doing damage around here, taking out road culverts, berms and such.

OK, Don, I'll be careful with that cactus beer.

Probably a good time to hunt and kill that big rattler, too. :thumbsup:

BTW, do they make waterproof snake boots? Now would be a good time to have some.

Sorry about your hand.

Don, that shiner any good? I like me a cold bud light lime or a shiner bock.

Kyle I think you would like this beer it has a light hint of fruity kool-aid. - about the best I can describe it. I like it - but then I still have not found a beer I did not like. I think I prefer it over the Bock.

Gary the deck looks rejuvenated and nice. A deck composite or vinyl board for a top of the railing would give you a place to set your beer. They wouldn't cup or warp like PT is likely to do in that situation. I like the natural flag stone patio too.

I asked for Shiner beer once at the convenience store here that carries a lot of beer brands, No luck.

So Farmer, I have two chickens to split and put on the wood fire grill tomorrow morning. No fryers in the meat case!, just medium and large roasters. I'll grill them until they are about 1/2-3/4 done and get the wood flavor then finish them in the oven. Some rice, tomatoes and chopped onion; that will be tomorrow's eats.

Enjoy the holiday and remember those who served.

Smart man! There's a lot of folks who would have tried driving through that...

Hey Don, Be careful with all that water. We had some hurricanes blow through here a few years back and were stranded for weeks, and we were the lucky ones.

 

[txdon]

The deck looks like a gray composite, nice and uniform.

No luck on the big snake hunt.

Nice sunny evening and things are getting back to normal, all our water is receding.
I just did a runabout and checked our bridges 2 out of 3 are now passable with only 2" or less of water on the road. The other has about 8", running fast, and even though I did see a SUV go through it, I turned around, it looked too risky since the road was not visible. Funny thing - that was the only one that was not closed with barricades.

 

[DABSGT]

Hope all have a good memorial d at. I see that I have a lot to catch up on but after a quick scan of the last few days Don hope you dry out, you can send some of that rain my way, it's only May and my grass is dying.
Drew I have been busy with that boat, pulled out the seats, and took out t he jet drive today pulled out the motor, FEL made it easy.

Good night
