What's up with the one that has white feathers. Mixed with a domestic turkey?
..........................
We had white young turkey several years back also other folks in the area soooo guess its not uncommon...just makes it easier for the predators.

Until it snows.

interesting trip to Massey dealer. Utility tractor with Sisu, Finnish motor, and built in China to very high spec.
Got a 19 percent off first quote on a 73K tractor that cost at least ten thousand more than I thought it would be.
Now we had to go up one model to get that, the
4708 instead of the 4707 which is what drove up the cost. He said safer to have a minimum of 70 pto hp in this area and I have to keep local resale in mind. Next week I go look at JD. The lowest horsepower model would be fine for me actually, same weight and loader specs, but it has regen instead of DEF and I'd prefer the latter. Still might consider that. At 100-150 hours a year, can't be all that much regen going on, nor would I use that much DEF. DEF makes more sense to me, less emission controls on engine.

Local cotton is starting to get picked, looks very healthy.

heart is still pounding from another run in an hour ago with tenant farmer, once again discing up my leased land, once again pulling up my stakes. Got ugly this time, he knows I'll call the police on him next time. It's an odd sized lot so he wants to cut through mine. Tough. Stay off my land. I stated at high enough volume the entire neighborhood heard it. I went out and pounded in metal stakes this time. I heard from other locals that he's done this multiple other places, the man is a fool. Renting land from the drunken farmer who lost his farm. What a pair.

Good morning! Clear day 57˚ heading to 70˚ finally getting back to normal for late October, we can save that cold weather for February.

Randy, I did not see any 75' Pinto Hatchbacks in the bunch. :confused3: Rings? Just enough info to tease, or should we say congratulations:cool2: on your engagement!!!!???:confused3:

A chinees cherokee wedding theme, now that sounds interesting.

No engagement, just having fun with cheap rings.

I suspect you neighbor problems aren’t going to fade away.
Any chance you could file an information report with local PD?
Maybe you write up a detailed report of both incidents (before and after pics?). File a copy with the PD and send a copy registered mail to offending neighbor. Would put both on notice and negate neighbor pleading ignorance.

. . . . . . . . And while I'm on a recycle rant, how about making it a requirement that all political lawn signs be 100 percent recyclable. Now there's a waste of resources for sure. A blight on the neighborhood, ever see an attractive one?
Do you think the loser is really going to save all those signs? The incumbent might, but otherwise all that plastic goes into the landfill.
I can only imagine how many Cruz signs there must be stuck in the ground right now in Texas. . . . . .

Drew, those signs are pretty costly. {the middle sized ones were 10 bucks each in 2012} Anyone who thinks they are going to run again will pick them up. Or even hold on to them after they are out of office. They are good for all kinds of projects around the farm. The stands make pretty good tent stakes. I had a few of them under my pole barn.

Good evening all. 53F this morning, overcast and some drizzle, 1.6 inch in gauge, light wind. Ground stayed wet all day, clouds/drizzle moved out about 3PM, high temp 59F. Was going to ride but lack of dry roads put me off, possible ride in Farmersville Saturday. No progress on van, did get nap in.
Drew sorry to hear about neighbor run-in :thumbdown:
Randy didn't see any Vega hatchbacks either:laughing: Enjoying your pics :thumbsup:
RNG, sorry to hear about the wiring issues, hope that goes with minimum fuss and you get your documentation.
Ron that 'Vette would get my blood flowing at idle :drink:
Ed hope your inspection went well, how often do you have to get inspected?
prayers for all.

Good Morning!!!! 66F @ 9:15AM. Mainly sunny. High near 80F. Winds light and variable.

. . . . .Lots of bad news out there, and when it leaks into the stock market, prices drop as uncertainty increases. Maybe time to take a nibble or two while prices are low, but probably too soon just yet. . . . .


Hang in there gang, Friday's comin'!

Any news that is good for workers is bad for the market. A company lays off 10% of it's workforce, and the stock price goes up. Low unemployment means wages my go up, so stock price goes down. But I think this is just our regularly scheduled correction. Ten years is long enough for every one to forget the last down turn, so they think it is never going to happen again. {but it always does}
