The wind has shifted to the NW here and you can feel some moisture on the air. The air has been full of dirt and smoke off and on today. The fires at Leedy and Carmargo are about thirty or forty miles SW of me.
Without the oilfield there is just about nothing in this area. A lot of what goes on with the county roads depends on the county commissioners standing up to them. Some areas of Kansas commercial trucks have to be permitted to operate on secondary roads.
I wish they would get the road fixed between Watonga and Kingfisher, what has been done is much better then what it was and it will be nice when done. I don't go that way often and it is usually a costly parts run when I go.
Going to toss this out there, is any one interesting in a boxer mix, 4 to 5 years old. Never been around chickens, needs some kids to wear him out..Family member moving.
I woke up to 1.3 inches in my raingauge yesterday morning. I did watch two storms building yesterday afternoon but didn't get anything but plenty of wind.
Clear as mud. When dealing with government types two people will give three different answers.
I'm so far away from Sequoyah county I would have to look to see where it is. I don't feel much threat from it at this time.
I seen nothing that would prevent the shipping of chicks into the state unless I missed it somewhere. All I seen was no public sales.
This is something that has to run it's course like a lot of other things.
Thanks for the report, I've wondered about how some of the auctions work. The young chickens would have been a good deal to turn around in the spring when prices are up or to keep.
Set 53 Millie Fleur D'Uccle eggs Monday evening. Need to get some more in before the wife finds out how many I set.
Wanted to go to the poultry sale at Hydro Saturday but looks like I'll be loading hay out.
Smoke and ash started rolling in on the wind change last night, I'm about 50 miles from the nearest fires but think this may have come off the fires in the Texas panhandle looking at the radar last night.
A lot of range land where the fires are burning and little farm ground to break it up...
