Rained all nite and still raining. Tractor died and sitting in pasture .....waiting for us to tow it home. Partner better; still not good, but better. Stay dry, stay safe.

I have an old 1947 Farmall B with a 5' shredder. Was a 'rust bucket' but I restored it to brand new condition. I usually use it to mow the back half of my property but going to use it on the yard this time, the 'windmill grass' is 3' tall!

Not sure what year it is. It does what we need done. Ford

Now I got tractor envy. Thanks all! I still drive a manual transmission so I still have that. So it is Freaky RGV not the golden variety orb weaver spider hatch out day. I think we have hundreds or thousands. They are not getting invited in. Apparently they are called ?? Their nests are made like orbweavers and they hold their legs in the same manner. http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/spiders/Argiope argentata.htm

I was jelly for all those with tractors -admittedly- for several years with a little 42" 16.5hp craftsman riding mower.....

Over on tractorbynet I've learned a lot & found out about how safe the flail mowers are... Man I really enjoy it.

It's been lightly raining/misting since yesterday afternoon here (between New Waverly & Coldspring). I was in Cypress during Harvey and we got water in the house for the first time since it was built back in the early 60's. I blame the bridge on Cypress Creek - water rose high enough to hit it and it acted like a dam and back-swirled the water into my sub. We've been here 2 years now and I'm hoping we get enough rain out of this one to actually soak the ground. It's been mighty dry. We are supposedly going to get a heavy storm this afternoon. Hope it waits until after I clock out of work.

Rain since Sunday. Slow soak so far. Poured 2 1/2 inches from rain gage an hour ago. Still raining.

Okay, here's two pics from earlier this summer of the cub....



In our coop building thread, you can see one of the kiddos learning driving it & dumping the DLM into the "new" 2nd compost bin. She's doing pretty darn good with a clutch too.
