Texas Fall/Winter thread!

I just got back from driving by the fire area and saw no smoke, YEA! Jim I just saw a mis-placed rabbit running around yesterday. The area around here is pretty well hunted. I hear about a thousand rounds a month, and that does not include the heavy artillery from Camp Swift on the weekends.

OK, technically its a track loader..I called it a "skid steer" as did the rental yard:laughing: Only looks almost identical to a skid steer with different shoes

Dennis,
Put them in the bottom of a muddy pond and you'll know the difference. The skid steer will be the one you have to pull out with the mini track loader.:thumbsup:

I'm surprised by your post and Brandi's. I was so warm yesterday that I was sweating. We even opened a bedroom window last night because it only got down to the mid-50s overnight. I suppose my gardening may have got me warmed up. I was actually sweating enough that I had to clean my glasses a couple of times from sweat running off my forehead. After doing my garden, I hauled topsoil for awhile and was still very warm on my tractor even though I wasn't as active as before. I only had on a long-sleeve t-shirt, no jacket.

I'd love to go to San Antonio and see Travis's Letter, but probably won't make it. I sure wish they had extended that showing through spring break. There are lots of people like me who would take children and grandchildren to see that document and experience some real Texas history.

Jim,
I was referring to Saturday night. Last night I turned the AC on.
hugs, Brandi

Don,
You can hear the artillery up at your place? How many miles is that?

:laughing: You got that right!, but for what I was doing, it was all good Dont think I'd want either in the mud though, the "mini" was over 9000#!!

Jim's TLB at 20k would have killed those trees!.. I considered a friend that runs a dozer, but he has a minimum that would have been twice what I ended up pay'n, but he'd have had it done in less than an hourr, guy's good.

Camp Swift is about 15 miles away as a sober crow would fly.
Yesterday I heard 14 shots in 4 seconds on my north fence line. What kind of gun would that possibly be?
At least I know he's got my north side covered.

I was in artillery in the Marines, I don't know what they have but in the eighties we had 108mm howitzers.
