how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

[nbbt]

signed a contract on a farm with downpayment yesterday. 46 acres 43 pasture fenced with a 30x60 horse/hay barn and a 2000sqft modular home. biggest purchase ive ever taken. working thru the local fsa for first time farmers loan. lots of paperwork but good interest rates compared to traditional banks currently.

This sounds like some potential good times.

Do you have plans for the fenced pasture?

If you don’t mind a little physical labor, that 20 should be able to gin 10-$15,000 a year in revenue.. small square bales of that mix are a pretty hot commodity..

Back when Texas had the drought, a long time ago, those bales were sold around here for $3, loaded on trailer. In Texas they brought $10 a bale with a shipping fee of a buck a bale. No money in lean beef in a market that was flooded with beef

Just put the moisture meter in some of the lumber I been milling the last few months..

Newest oak is down to almost 25% with the pins buried. I suspect closer to 30% in the middle.

The walnut is getting near 15%

Couldn’t get a reading on the hedge.. couldn’t force the pins in far enough to get a reading.

Gonna have to cut a piece of it and try to stuff the pins in the end grain I guess..

Sometimes ya just gotta laugh or say "f--- it". Today I was standing under my carport and realized that I'm standing on the spot where my log splitter should have been. "Better to get pissed off than pissed on" they say. Well, I got pissed on but I'm just too old to get all pissed off about this. Just not worth it and I can't do anything about it anyway. Pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but frustrating nonetheless. It was a nice one for a big box store splitter. Dirty Hands 27 ton with the 30 ton ram. I've advertised on the local Facebook. It's definitely an eye opener. I've lived here 25 years and this is the 2nd time ive got hit. The first was a lawn mower. Hope y'all had a great one and have a nice weekend ahead.

Supposed to be 91 today....should be quite miserable.

That really sucks, but your attitude is commendable.

Just dumped 2 " out of the rain Guage

Morning, 0.3" from 10 last evening to a couple of minutes ago when that bright thing make an cloud clearing appearance. 57f/79f so the guessers say.

Thank you. Don't get me wrong, I'd break his/her elbows and hands if I'd caught them. I'd really like a face to face with whoever did it. I'm a vengeful type.lol Getting mad and staying mad just isn't going to do me any good though. Maybe karma will intervene and they'll get their arm stuck in it. A guy can always hope. Good morning y'all

.6” here..

A bit of a surprise though since it wasn’t supposed to rain.

 

[JimBear]

Had .25” here, looks as though the heavy stuff stayed to the west & drifted off to the south.

Mine was a bit later and a huuuge flash several miles away raised the dead who shook my shoulder ( sounded better in my head) took the thunder many seconds to get heare and it was much more than I recall previously.
Guessers say .6" and clouds rest o day here. My catchers show almost .25".
MisSpelled hear/here above as a writers conglomeration. Any opinion?
