Can we all agree we lost a very strong patriot when Senator John McCain passed 1936 - 2108

That has got to be the singularly most stupid turkey on earth. Sorry SGC that you are having to deal with the poor brain dead animal.

Are you sure you didn't get her from my flock?

Not sure what happened here today .

Your turkey figured out it was a chick. So the chicken hen may adopt the chick, hopefully.

Actually we are pretty lucky here as far as poisonous snakes are concerned. Yes, we have cotton mouths and timber rattlers along with the occasional copper head but we have yet to see a poisonous snake on our property.....yet.

Mostly black snakes, common water snakes, bull snakes, rat snakes, blue racers and the like. The black snakes can be pretty grumpy though and usually they are the ones that won't back down when you encounter them. The Bull snakes usually just want to get away from you.

Read today where our section of Missouri is under an extreme drought warning. Guess it's really worse than we imagined and farmers/ranchers are starting to sell off their cattle because of the lack of forage. Crops are so bad that the corn is being harvested early for silage. There is a large lake north east of us called Long Branch. I read tonight where they are opening it to farmers to cut and bale grass due to the shortage of hay.

So if any of you have any extra rain that you wanna get rid of, send it to the northern half of Missouri. We can put it to good use!

We are in Macon county. Third county over and third down from the north east corner of the state.

Hopefully I'll have some time to sew today, but I think I'll have to also go shopping for my girls' camping trip next Friday (down to Vermont) and start packing, instead.

I'm guessing you won't be anywhere near the NW corner of VT. Would that be correct?
We'll likely be going back home from Bangor through Augusta around 11 AM Friday, we could convoy to Vermont

Yes, but I'm very fiscally responsible and this is so anti-me. I spent almost this much on my car 9 years ago. That just seems absurd to me.

Whoa, must be those machines are REAL expensive

Out here water for farming comes from the Sierras or other lakes. During droughts, Farmers have to pump well water.

There are sections of California that are sinking because to that
