If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

We’ve had about an inch of rain in the past week but it came in two different doses a few days apart, about a half inch each time. Water in the creeks is running, the stock ponds are full. It’s just getting dry enough to get equipment into the fields, so all in all, not bad. Everything seems behind by a month or so, with redbuds that typically bloom in late February blooming now. Trees are just starting to put out new leaves. Strange though, the elms are usually the first trees to put on new leaves, and pecans are last, but they’re both budding out at the same time this year. ::shrug::

It will get dry though. It’s Texas! :lol:

Looking good! We’re green as poison around here. We’ve had so much rain it’s all one big mud puddle here.

That’s a good saying. I’ll have to use that. What’s the rain fall like in your part of Australia?

Kentucky, the state I’m from has the largest beef herd east of the Mississippi. So we have a lot of pasture and a lot of cattle. We don’t have the wide open spaces cattlemen out west do, but thanks to our soil and rainfall we have much higher stocking rates per acre than other places.

But traditionally our money maker was tobacco. And tobacco does best in a hot, slightly dry summer. There’s an old saying amongst tobacco farmers.

“A dry year will scare you to death and a wet year will starve you to death.”

But I haven’t heard that in a long time.

We used to have a big tobacco industry but that has been closed down now. The state where i live has had a really good year for rainfall, one of the best for a long time. So the crop growers are in a good position at the moment with a lot of deep soil moisture and are about to start planting for this years crop after having a bumper season last year. But New South Wales and parts of southern Queensland were devastated by floods just over a week ago, some places getting over 40 inches of rain in a few days. I just feel so sorry for them, a lot of them were just coming out of a long drought only to have crops, stock, fences and infrastructure destroyed by floods, i wonder how much more they can take. Hope all is well with you over there. ::handshake:: :)

But just remember Mud is Money. ::nod::

I've always admired old hand tools especially the ones I grew up using. I found this in an estate sale and it would barely move, there was so much grime and hardened oil on it. Taking a page out of Jerry D's book, I used my sonic cleaner with a few drops of Dawn dish liquid in it. I couldn't get the frame in the tank, but I was able to get everything else in there disassembled. I cleaned it up and reassembled it with a little bit of Quick Release oil on it, (It's not just for switchblade you know). This hand drill now turns easily and it's an entirely different piece of machinery, It's really quite smooth now.

It even has some storage in the handle for drill bits. ::ds::
