Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Drew, sorry for your loss.

For the lowest profile ditch crossing, I have sunk twin wall pipe with the top of the pipe down to the level of the bottom of the ditch, mesh and round stones closing off the entrance and exit. The water flow in the ditch goes down into the ground at one side and back up at the other. A 6" pipe is more than enough for me, so your 12" should take a huge water flow, even with the ends slightly restricted this way. I guess that wouldn't work if you are wanting to provide shelter for homeless snakes and alligators.

29 this morning fine light snow coming down supposed to quit by 3:00PM. If not too heavy snow that is work on tree trimming. Love to listen to snow hitting the leaves peaceful sound indeed.

Eric I'm going to miss the fact you did not have to marry Kev or eat grits, one of my favorites by the way

31 this morning and headed to 39 here in GSM. A light dusting of snow fell over night and really changed the view. But then I am at 2200 ft.

Off to do some sightseeing. Wonder how much of the park is closed. Will have to stop and see.

31 this morning and headed to 39 today here in the GSM. A dusting of snow overnight really changed the view. But at 2200 ft. Good it's only a dusting.

We used to get culvert tile in 3ft lengths made out of concrete. Just but them up and make any length culvert you want.

Poured second cup of coffee. 45° with partly cloudy skies. Heading to 67° with mostly clear skies. Need to do couple of RV maintenance items today. Then patio and football time.
Eric, stay around. We need more English lessons.
Good Morning All.

Good cold morning. Just finished plowing a light snow. It has warmed up to 9f. Wind chill is -2 to -10.

Glad I am back inside with a hot cup of coffee watching it from the window.

Hope everyone is having a trouble free day.

Even my wife can answer that one... Eating grits

52 going to 58 with 20-28 mph winds. Rained hard all night so I expect to lose some trees today. SIL's are coming by today to see the new horses and exchange Christmas gifts. That will be good.

Well I had a learning experience yesterday. My farrier came by to work on the horses and my new one takes a size 10 shoe. I didn't know they make a size 10 and no one in FL stocks a shoe that big. So she is running barefoot for 6 weeks, which is no big deal because I run all the others barefoot. But no heavy driving for a while. And for those that have never had horses, this means her hooves are 10" wide and 10" long... them are big ol' feet

....... I need to go drop the bucket, put the forks on and move the pallets of my old front walkway pavers over to where they will be laid...........................And when my two strong firemen helpers are here, I'm letting them pick that lumber out of the water ditch. And then I'm going to think some more about whether I even want that plastic pipe in there.

I was behind in reading this thread....saw where you earlier talked about having to lug that wood back to the barn. I thought to myself - Drew needs a set of pallet forks...the most used tractor implement that I own. But I read further and notice this post and you have pallet forks......I have a bad back. I use the forks for everything from hauling brush, to lifting things out of the bed truck, to clamping a solid door to the forks for a portable field work bench. They also work good for popping small trees out of the ground. Save the back!!!!!!

Good Morning! 50F and raining @ 6:30AM. Cloudy with periods of rain. High 56F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall may reach one inch.

Another 0.75" of rain fell yesterday, making this month the wettest January in years. Not much fun being outside in this stuff, but it sure beats hauling water in the summer if the well goes dry!

More paperwork today: have to change all the automatic charges over to a new VISA number; the old one got snagged in another data breach. Never had a problem with the debit card, and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to use that instead. Anybody here doing that?
