Hi all, I haven't been here for ages. How are things going with everyone?
Rainy down here this weekend. Sitting in front of the puter with coffee in my hand. It seems 2017 has it out for me in the early going. So far my truck is wrecked and this weekend I'm replacing the radiator, condensers, hood, front lights and repairing the fenders. My FEL hydraulics bit the dust and I just spend $650 to buy all new lines, hoses, and cylinders since they all have rusted beyond repair from hurrican salt water. Then my washer went out last night while I was washing all my greasy clothes!
Good thing my lady still wants me.
. Maybe I shouldn't press my luck. Need to go talk to neighbors. Farms on both sides are leased out with non farming owners. Just have to find out how many heirs there are involved with each.

37 this morning and headed to 67 today. Rain back in forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday morning.
Noticed last night that the frogs are out. Could here the Cadiz from the swamp on the neighbors. That should also mean the snakes are out also. Have to be more careful walking around the woods.
Wife has given me a task. Locate a place to build a house. Currently we're in a double wide. And after last weeks storms. She wants to move farther away from the chicken coops. We're less than 300 feet now. But they sit right in the middle of the property. I can gain distance from them but it's on the fan end and we'll have all the fan noise. She also wants a basement and I want at least a partial walkout basement. For moving things in and out. Think big doors and no stairs. So finding a site is a challenge most of our weather comes from the SW-NW. So I want to avoid an open face in that direction. Tornadic threats seam to come from SW though. Looking at NRCS maps I don't have many suitable options and none I like. Told her we may have to buy land to build. She said start bidding. I guess that's a sign. Now how much land is required for a housing site. I'm thinking at least 3 digits.
