Less than 1/4" in Colorado County but, every little drop helps.

We got 1.75 in. Lots of thunder & lightning but the wind and storms missed us.

I heard that lake Ray Hubbard is up 1', but still 7' below normal. Don't even ask about Lake Bridgeport. They"ll soon measure it's shortfall in Empire State Buildings.

Haven't been down to ranch buildings to check rain gauges but, storms arrived here about 4 PM and had "Dish a Network shutdown" rain for quite a while. Woo Hoo!

Gorgeous day in Thicket today (at least for working on a barn) didn't get any rail until driving home to Houston, then light drizzle, a couple of good showers.

Got to play with the box blade for the first time today


Got first posts up - these will be the end of the shed roofs


Also got to use the new auger - sand loam, no rocks, no roots. Drilled like butter.

Jisgren,
How is judging where to drill the hole work with your front, center, mounted Danuser auger? Do you have a "spotter"?

It's off center and I can see it perfectly along the right side of the tractor. I will get a picture from the seat tomorrow

We got a small storm before dark, lots of wind, thunder and lightning that gave us 1/2 inch of rain. Another 1/4 inch since then.
Send more, Please. FG, how about a naked rain dance?

Thanks. I have an extra skid steer plate adapter. I think I will beef it up and add a mount where I can peep around the side of the hood and spot post locations. That will be a lot easier than having it on the end of the bucket and easier to change than the BH bucket.
hugs, Brandi
