You gave me my morning chuckle, thanks!

Bet ya would not get a chuckle if it were your pig pile

when i gave that backhoe away for scrap my DH looked like he was fixen to cry, i was like honey i love you to death but that thing has been sitting in the same place for 25 years and it has trees growing threw it, anyone that takes it will have one heck of a job getting it gone and they did,
they cut that thing in to peaces and pulled the body up on their lowboy with the right back tire riding on the outer fender, , you should have seen that trailer squat, i seriously do not think they made it to the scrap yard once they got to the railroad tracks

It's a guy thing, but i will take stuff and use it for something totally different than DH had planed if it sits here long enough like 20 years IMO is long enough, now i am gonna say in 5 years cause i am pushing 60 and don't know if i will be re purposing things in my 80's

Now these buckets were a different story, i asked him how many he needed and when he said none right now i jacked them and made nest buckets out of them

This actually turned out to be a life saver when DH was in the hospital for weeks at a time, i was collecting a 5 gallon bucket of eggs a day and coming home every three days from the hospital i had 15 gallons of broken dirty eggs in the nest buckets

so i was able to remove all the buckets in one days and clean them.

Got up this morning to find the canopy over the brooder pen had finely split, been trying to put off repairs cause i am going to tear that pen down and move to new ground anyhow i was getting hot so i put some shorts on and when back to finish, the wind started blowing giving me a hard time , then the rains started and i want you to know the temperature dropped 20 degrees in a matter of minutes, i like to froze to death before i got finished, darn southeast Texas weather.

darn southeast Texas weather.

We get that too, defroster in the morning, air conditioner in the afternoon.

Lucky for us it doesn't last long, then it just gets and stays cold, or hot.

We get a peach crop about once every five years, because seems like in January and February, we get a few days where it gets up to 70 or 75 (maybe even low 80's) in the daytime, then drops down to 20 or 25 degrees at night. The peach trees get sucked into blooming, then freeze. Any tiny fruit that survive the freezes that get blasted off with the 60 mph dry winds that come along in March and April...

Seems like it doesn't matter how long you wait to put out tomatoes, they freeze. One year, I put 'em out a little early, got lucky, no more freezes. But the hail storm killed every last one.

And if you plant lettuce, garden peas or snow peas, they burn up in the heat... or freeze... or both

Hey you need some of those zip-off pants! At least you get rain...

Sorry, sounds like a pain

 

[zazouse]

I got some zip up overalls but they are insulated and i hadn't gotten out the winter wears out yet , guess i could get that stuff out and wash the spiders out of them , cause the dogs winter coats are telling me it is gonna be an early cold winter here this year.
