I hope Lucy is not being totaled.

My yard was in dire need of mowing, but it's just been too wet. But this morning, I mowed, edged, and trimmed anyway.

Lucy wasn't totaled. It is a big topic here locally though, some of the old people like their cars and understand that replacing one is very hard to do economically.

Just want to throw this out in case anyone might be aware of some info:

INFORMATION SOUGHT IN EAST TEXAS SKID STEER THEFT
TSCRA Special Ranger Jimmy Dickson and the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office are seeking information on the theft of a skid steer worth approximately $45,000 from Kiepersol Enterprises in the East Texas town of Bullard.

According to Dickson, the theft occurred between April 1 and April 4, when a thief or thieves stole a yellow and black 2004 model Case 95XT skid steer loader with dual hydraulic clamps on the front bucket. The serial number on this equipment is JAF0386335. The skid steer is a 4-wheel-drive and had approximately 34 hours on the hour gauge at the time of the theft.

Dickson said the machine was on a construction site on the property of Kiepersol Enterprises, south of CR 3801 in Bullard. The machine was apparently loaded on a trailer and stolen from the site.

Anyone with further information regarding this theft case should contact TSCRA’s Operation Cow Thief hotline at 888-830-2333 or call Dickson at 903-721-2155. A cash reward may be paid to individuals who can provide useful information leading to the arrest and indictment of suspect(s). Individuals reporting information may choose to remain anonymous.

That's horrible. Only 34 hours on an '04 model.

Makes me sick. I want to set up a sting operation with my tractor and trailer to give the LEOs something to work with. Hope they find it in good shape. I wonder if the hour meter had spun and it was actually 1034 or 2034, etc? Really no difference either way.

Round Two!

Nice to hear that lake Travis is finally full again... Perhaps that spillway will get some exercise this week. Lord knows Lake Conroe and Livingston dams are huffing and puffing nicely. I'll take it now, and would love to see this in June/July/August too.

When was the last time that lake Travis was full? It seems like it's been low for a decade now?

I believe that the summer of 2007 was the last time they opened the spillway... That's a looong time.
