Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Don, I had one guy come up in a wheel chair, naturally I felt sympathy. I told him I kept no money while on the job (true), so he wheeled over by the building, got out of the chair and walked over and urinated on the wall. He was one of 7 that hit me up on that job in 4 hrs, then had one hit me up pulling into the motel.

Been seeing great windrows in fields around the house, so a few are getting some decent bales with the limited rainfall. I think the rain fell at just the right few times, still seeing it at $80 roadside though.

A friend has last years 4ft. round bales for sale for $25. The kids played on them and some of the strings are broke. long transportation is not advised.

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?

NWS shows a 90% chance of heavy rain today and tonight. I woke up about 3:35 a.m. this morning, looked at the clock, turned over to go back to sleep, when I noticed lightning and our power went off (digital clock went black). So I decided to get up and see what was going on. The power came back on within a minute or two. The dog and I went out the back door; nothing going on outside. I came back in, got some coffee, and had just sat down here at the computer when it sounded like the bottom fell out; heavy downpour at 4:15 a.m., but it didn't last 2 minutes and was gone. But I have high hopes for more rain later.

I was up at 4:30 and heard the booms in the distance but it never came down this far. It seems for the time being it is going to hang around north of us with the edge just a couple of miles away. It looks like our friends in Sunset are getting a ton of the good stuff this morning. Hope all is well there.

Started here around 4 .. Haven't looked at the gauge but it's been steady nice rain .. Not a down pour just a good rain... Local weather says areas near Denton are really getting rain .. A couple counties are in a flood warning.

 

[blueriver]

1.8" in the gauge so far.

Looked like it rained in Houston are, for sure in Katy yesterday. I hear nothing at home yet, but much hope for the 7-% chance today and tonight.

Man, the panhandlers are out in the Houston area, been awhile since I had so many people come up to lazy to work. 7 just tonight, when offered $ for labor, they couldn't??? Hate this town, not sure it's even still part of Texas:shocked:

Dennis-- I'm with you, I'd rather go almost anywhere but Houston. Driving there is the worst.

Raining here this morning and looks like it will continue all day........Whoppeeeeee! Haven't got out to check the gauge yet. Hope everybody gets what they need, but the flooding north of Denton looks serious. Hope Bird is on High Ground.
