Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Wondering whatever happened to the guy who got shot trying to steal hay over around Dime Box or Lexington a year or so back and the guy who shot him. Any update you know of?

.

The guy that set up on the thief and then shot the thief when the thief took off with the hay was charged. I can't remember what the charge was or the sentencing but I'll try to find out.

Well...we have flooding at our house here in Sanger. Water has overflowed the five foot deep bar ditch across the road and is eight inches deep running down my trailer driveway and out toward the pond. My wife took a video this morning that's on Fox 4. You'll see my NH and Case getting a bath. I'm heading out to get a trash pump to empty the water out from under my house. Geez!

Charlie, the really heavy stuff is north of us, but the rain did come back about 6:30, heavy for a little while and then a light rain that has put about 1.6" in my gauge so far.

I forgot all about that? and IDK , didn't someone get in a chase or something with the thief?

Yeah, TxDon had a good bit of info on it at the time.

Thanks for the link, TxDon!

We'll be looking forward to any updates you can get. Thanks!

In Houston this week with Corvette instead of the F-350 so waiting out the storms moving thru before getting on I-10 with all the crazies.



Not a scratch on it and would like to keep it that way for a while longer.

Made it to the Ranch safely. Not a drop of rain so far. Spider in rain gauge about to croak.

Maybe tonight or tomorrow, getting dry here.

Sad news about the Malaysian Air 777 shot down in Ukraine today. Recent reports confirm was probably an SA-11 missile.

Fundraiser in NY has precedence over finding out how many Americans were on board. First reports were 23 but, they have gone silent on that for now. :-(

I dumped about 2.6" out of my gauge this afternoon; biggest one day rain of the year for me. Looking at the radar, I would not expect anymore rain tonight, but the NWS is still showing 100% chance tonight, and I hope they're right.

Mr Bird;

If you get more rain than you need, feel free to send any excess down to your friends in Colorado County. We need it.

I would have been happy to get 2 or 3 times as much as we got, but I'm certainly thankful for what we did get.
