Texas Fall/Winter thread!

[wcampbell47]

I am willing to haul my L3901 tractor with FEL and dump trailer to damaged areas to help in any way I can. I have a 4500 watt gas generator and a 15kw pto generator that I can bring as well to supply temporary power. If you have a friend in need contact me here.

Today is garbage pickup day and it was 33 degrees and snowing when I put our garbage and recycling bin out about 6:50 a.m., but it now appears that the precipitation might be over, and my 3 day total was 5.75".

Lots of rain but we dodged the tornados. I was driving back from visiting my wife in the hospital Saturday and drove by on I-30 where the twister had been a short time earlier, even in the pitch dark it looked really bad. My prayers go out to them.

Wcampbell,
I admire your willingness to help. God bless you. If you have a grapple, it would be a lot more helpful.

Last night we had some wind hit us that should the whole house. I was waiting for the power to go out. but it stayed on.

I don't remember who else was in the discussion with Western about mole traps a while back. Bird and/or TxDon maybe? I need to get some of those traps. Since Booger has been long gone, moles have moved in. Booger used to dig and catch them. Now they are tunneling near the base of my small pond's dam. What trap was it that was best?
hugs, Brandi

My 3 day rain total was 7.5 in rain. Tornados well east and south of here.

 

[Bird]

Brandi, I've had no luck at all with the mole traps. So you don't want any advice from me.:laughing:

It hit one of my coworkers neighborhood, and it leveled the elementary school behind his house along with other houses in Rowlett. Luckily his didn't get hit, but he still doesn't have power. I'm outside of Mabank, and we had twisters all around us but nothing too close this time. We have been hit with lots of rain and thunder the past few days, and I'm now having to take alternate routes to avoid flooded streets again. This has been happening a lot this year.

The devastation in pictures I've seen is unbelievable. You're right it's been a rough year.

it wasn't I,, we don't have moles down here,, but we do have fire ants.. I build a fire ant trap.. but they stole it and took in underground and build a fortified castle for the queen.. I think.. anyway it is gone.. my rain fall for the three days was less than half inch.. did get cool,, High wind did get a couple of large limbs from the pecan tree,, that I will cut up today and use as bbq wood,, Lou

 

[Lou66]

PS... wish you all the best, the rest of the year and into the new year..

Lou,
How many pecan trees do you have? I have seen nice homes built in old pecan groves. They sure are pretty looking.

Thanks Two Bit. Reminds me of the style Dad had. I think Dad's got carried off by a mole and we couldn't find it. I think his was like a large clothes pin.......pinced like an alligator bits.

I sent Dennis (Western) a couple of days ago, asking what traps he used and no response yet.
hugs, Brandi

Got a tractor split, back half in the garage, front half by the shed. Second tractor waiting to go in the garage and be split so I can put the front on the first tractor. Too wet to move the second tractor up hill to the garage and too cold to work on it if I could. Boy, this Texas weather! I do not like the wet and the cold. That why I do not duck hunt. Maybe next week it will dry out some and the temperature will stay above 50 degrees.

I sometimes enjoy wet weather or cold weather, but never both at the same time.

Yep, we went from warm and steamy to cold and crappy.

ch1ch2,
Guess it's time to build a bigger shop. With all this rain, I wish I could fit in another pond. Just don't have the room here!
HAPPY NEW YEAR hugs, Brandi
