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

Looks like this system started in Oklahoma moving north east.

Lots of reports from wind damage early this morning night all I I heard was some clown in a diesel pickup diddling around trying to decide whether or not to go down the dirt road.

We haven’t had enough rain to settle the dust so the prognosticators missed our 3/4” - 1” overnight rain.

Hopefully it moved to SW MO but it looks like @67L36Driver & @WKEND LUMBERJAK got a good charge or are currently getting rained on.

Question about diesel fuel. Last time I was at the Stamp I needed to fill up my fuel can.
The convenience store had 2 types at the pump. #2 and off road red type. They were out of the #2 so I bought 5 gallons of the red. Is it ok to run the red type in my Bolens diesel?

Should be fine, that's all I run in my machines.

Yes, you will be fine.

Allegedly the only difference is the dye.

On-road is often called clear but can be yellow, blue, green.

Off-road/farm is red. The red dye is easy to detect in fuel testing by the enforcement folks.

Red /off-road is usually $.25-.$40 gallon cheaper

It’s not unusual to see scale jockeys (DOT’ officers ) sitting around spying on remote fuel depots watching for folks filling pickups with off-road/farm/red diesel.

A favorite tactic was to sit at local sale barns & dip the tanks on the pickups in line while they were waiting to unload.

It's just to tell the difference between off-road fuel and the same fuel that pays for a part of the roads

You should just buy red all the time since you are using it for off-road application.

Heard of that happening at the local sale barn while people are inside watching the sales. That's why I drop off stuff and hurry out of there. I need to find some #1 diesel somewhere around here to have on hand for the coldest part of winter. Tired of things clouding up even when parked inside with a block heater and treated to the max. Probably just low grade fuel (B20) that lets the paraffin separate easy. My trucks will cloud but my diesel VW has never let me down in the cold.

Moved the steers out here today after birthday party lunch time. Got a month before butcher date, curious as to hanging weight on these ones. 2022 crop, over 30 months so no T-bones but I stopped getting those last time anyway.

Quarter sized hail and torrential downpours..

Just tell me he’s pulling the tenderloins whole…

I can make that happen. Planning to go over and get my order set up at J and J this week while on vacation. Two are sold, might take a break from that, tired of trying to plan around other people who tell me they want beef and then can't make up their mind when the time comes. Might start it up again when I retire, maybe. Got to rebuild mamas with younger stuff for next few years and it's easier to just sell outright on the hoof than deal with flaky people.

Last one I had steaks cut 1 1/2" thick and might just do that again. Briskets on these should be rather good sized as well.

Looks like it up around Nevada, I was just looking to see if you folks were in the watch area.

Hopefully it drifts down your way.

1-1/2” thick steaks is the way to go, my folks always get 3/4” thick.

I like me a t-bone but am am part caveman & enjoy nawing on the bone.

Sirloins are about my favorite anymore.

I'm all over a 2" thick ribeye. Just like a cop with a donut.

 

[Hedgerow]

It’s all in how you plan to cook them..

I’m only a fan of thick steaks cuz no matter how much BTU you have on the grill, you can get the proper carmalization on each side but leave the internal temp at 130 or less..

Food science.. it’s the Indian, not the arrow…

I got T-bones this year.. but I don’t cook them in that form. I trim every steak out, the cuts I like, we grill, and I grind the rest.

Constant thunder for the last 30 minutes or so. Matt should be getting a bit of moisture, not sure how much. I was just watching and listening to it roll north of me.

Nothing yet..

Still hoping.

Must have passed in between us then. Getting ready to take dogs out for final run now. Temps dropped when the thunder started but have leveled out at 84° now.
