Yep! I think I see a lot of their machines on craigslist.

I see them on 155 south of Tyler when I go to Noonday. Their Stuff looks clean and nice from the ads and from the road driving by. They have a nice building and look like they have been in business a while.

Don't know anyone who has done business with them.

Yep, I have seen that near our place we had near Hico Texas, but that is the worst I have seen coverage wise ( your photo). I have heard they are the worst in East and Southeast Texas. I would be extremely PO'd to see my hay field like that!

Dennis,
How about a few more of these for your place? Free shipping:laughing:
A couple days ago my wife spotted chicken feathers on the ground under a Blue Bird box next to the garden that was being used by a couple swallows. The chicks have been hatched for a few days and keeping the parents busy feeding.
She said it looks like a coon has been trying to pull chicks from that nest.
We set the trap that night and got one and got another last night. May be 3-4 to go. Jinman's fence wouldn't keep these guys out of the garden so I'm glad they are showing up now as the garden is just getting started. The swallows haven't abandoned the other chicks so all is well.
Do you have much of a coon problem in Texas?

Ron,
Coons can sure be a pest. I wouldn't say we have a "problem", but they can be a "problem" The only time they pose an issue for me, is when I have something they want, like corn at the deer feeder. I have had them get in my garden 3 years ago (after the corn) and used the same remedy your using.

I don't know if their is a fence that will keep out a determined coon, maybe one in combination with claymores and other incendiaries!! I use the trap and .22 method

Well they "bumped" the chance up to 40% this evening and the way the radars looking, we may get a good rain. Hopefully none of the large hail thats possible with this one.

Well the rain came and it was a windy, loud one, but I am now the proud owner of just under 1-1/2" of new water:thumbsup: I'm so thankful, I think I'll go fish'n

Outstanding!! Prayer does work. Now don't be selfish send some our way.

The radar looks like it might make it to us.

Thats wonderfull news ... I knew if I turned on my irrigation it would make it rain (some where)

Still showing chances today thru Thursday ... Keeping the irrigation running in hopes of rain.

Wow, we only got about .48" although I see the NWS says Denton got .55", but I'm thankful for that amount here, and no wind.

My grass and I have two happy faces. My garden and my wife (who is doing most of the work this year) are also all smiles. We got about 1/2" up here. Not as much as Dennis, but enough to give things a really good soaking. I don't even care if my drained pond caught a little water. I'll just pump it dry again. I was in it yesterday, and it is very solid with 6" of mud or less in most areas. It hasn't "lived" long enough to have a lot of silt.

I must have moved to Texas in my sleep.
It has not rained here in 16 days and the temp has been 93 for the past 3.
A slight chance today but it looks like it will be north of us.
