Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Why don't you give me a tough assignment? Just buy some cattle ear tags and put them in all the electrical boxes where you don't want ants. I have great luck with them around my aerobic septic controller and my central air power sub-panel.

Agree with Jim, this works great. Just make sure to get the treated ones.

Wonder if those tags would work on a dog, for fleas?

To close to home ... about 9 miles from me Terry Willis dies in Atoka County tractor rollover near Caney - Find My Accident in Oklahoma

From what I've been told he had a disc on the tractor and backed up to the creek bank and the bank gave way ... the disc went in and it pulled and flipped the tractor over backwards ... pinned under the tractor in waste deep water ... his wife found him ... local fire and rescue tried to lift the tractor with air bags ... no luck ... called a wrecker service they pulled the tractor off ... we can never be too careful

BR, you got that right, always expect the unexpected. My brothers BIL from Ft Towson OK., died similarly, but riding a zero turn mower on the edge of a small creek. Same thing, fell on top of him. He was 32 and a good friend.

I got lucky with my rainfall yesterday. 3/10" in my gage.

Blueriver, the accidents on our farms are only surpassed by the numbers of accidents on our highways. Both are sad and seem to be proof that we WILL find a way to kill each other no matter how safe we make our vehicles.

Yes, pesticide treated, not the numbered ID tags.

Probably Dennis, but a bag full is far more expensive than a treated dog collar.

Every yr I hang those on my dog collars

Unless you already use them on other stock and have them available

I only got 1/100", which is also what the NWS says the Denton airport got; just enough to get my little pickup filthy.
