CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[Mike CHS]

We have received over 4" so far and it's supposed to do some more this afternoon before the front gets passed us. I cut our "lawn" yesterday because I had to cut the neighbors 4 acres also since he will be gone for a month. I'm glad you are getting some of the milder temps also.

We're also in the high temps, then the weather anchors have to make it worse by telling us the "feels like" temperature. The actual temperature is bad enough without rubbing it in. Blah.

Have actually been hoping for a little T-storm action over this way. The few storms that have been around have been within hearing range for the thunder, but far enough away that we've had virtually no rain. I think we had 1/8 of an inch in a 3am storm right after my son arrived. We're still under ongoing heat advisories with temps in the high 90's and "feels like" temps near 110. My son loves riding the lawn tractor (he has no yard out in Vegas) and I had to stop him from mowing the front field as it's so dry and hot it would scorch the field. Glad you're getting a break over your way. Hope you're feeling better with it.

We're now getting into our 'normal' August/early Sept cycle after a very wet early summer. Dry, hot, with a small chance every day of afternoon/early evening/early morn thundershowers.

Tropical activity in the Atlantic is almost nil,which can bring extreme wetness to East Texas, but Sept isn't here yet.

Good hay weather right now and my cattle are loving this time of year. It's the one time of year I have to do almost nothing animal wise. Keep out plenty of loose salt and mineral, make sure they have water and they're fine. Bahia, heat, and Beefmasters. This is the climate and weather Beefmasters were designed for. Black cows will be belly deep in a pond somewhere to cool off while those Brahma influenced breeds are still out on the pasture turning grass into cash.

LS, if your yard is Bahia, you won't hurt it by mowing it in hot dry weather. Bermuda is a different story.

Man must be nice, we could use some of that rain. I guess it's a good thing we aren't getting it though, after my husband caught the lawnmower on fire.
It's dry but our humidity is still high, and the temps are ridiculous for that humidity. I miss being home in AZ, at least it's a dry heat.

There's certainly not much grass to cut out that way....a lot of sand and concrete, with a few yuccas and cacti........it doesn't sound as the DH has much luck with machines

 

[CntryBoy777]

I just remembered that I haven't sgared the result of the fishing trip the other day....we went for a couple of hrs and caught 21....well, that's how many made it home....
.....there were 9bream and 12bass...the 2 bull bream went over a pound each....so, it wasn't too bad even tho it was hot and humid....

We are FINALLY getting 4 dry days in a row. Al cut a good amount of hay today, don't know if he is going to ted tomorrow or cut more. He has lots of acres left.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

NICE! I hope there's a fish fry in your future!

 

[Mike CHS]

Those are good eating too.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Yeh....they will be fried sometime between tomorrow and Wed nite....the boys will be leaving on Thurs and they are counting on having their own caught fish....I fileted them so we don't have to be concerned about any bones.........they say that PawPaw's fish is the absolute Best....so, I can't say no to that....
