Yesterday I drove by the golf course around 2pm, 103* out and there was 3 guys out there.
Fiddle farting around on the farm.

Farm Auctions have always served me well. Used to golf, but gave it up years ago.
I just enjoy auctions. A social event where I come from.
Don’t buy anything more than coffee and a hot dog.
I’ve gone to auctions at 5 and 95 degrees and everything in between….

We have relatives from suburbia in Texas.
Sometimes came for an extended stay with their motor home around our hay season in upstate New York. This was 50 years ago.
We took for granted things like keeping your eye on the kicker and watching your path of travel when riding on top of the hay wagon.
We warned them many times of some of the hazards of being on a dairy farm….
.
These kids had no clue. One caught a bale in the back of the head right off the kicker. Another got tagged by a low maple limb while riding on top of the hay on the road. One ran into a thornapple and was stuck badly with several thorns real deep.
They often left for home with some bumps and bruises. Besides a broken arm, most injuries were minor……
Had other cousins that came to the farm Labor Day weekend. They had on their brand new shoes for the upcoming school year. Despite their parents’s warnings about the barn, they went running through the barn out into the barnyard…..manure up to the tops of their new shoes….
. Mom and dad were “displeased.”

A rancher friend told me he had 2.6” in his gauge this morning from a 30% chance of rain (2 miles from my place). I’m going out there tomorrow. I feel like a kid at Christmas. I may have some water in my ponds.
It’s your turn now SS.
News is predicting 95% chance for El'nino this Fall. With majority of moisture happening between December to February.
The ground is stupid hard right now. I'm hoping we can get a couple of inches of rain so I can make things happen. I need to disc up atleast 10 acres and try to get some warm season grass seed planted in by the 1st week of September.

Are you far enough inland to be out of the hurricane danger? El’nino years are known for that. I do hope you are right about the moisture. I didn’t care for La’nina very much.
Quickest route to the coast, SE and about 64 miles to Portland.
No concern for flooding.
When I lived in Conroe/The Woodlands 3/4 mile North of FM1488, 90 miles from Galveston. When Hurricane Rita hit, we had sustained winds of 90mph that far inland.
I'm gonna soak a few spots using one of my IBC totes to see if the Bermuda that was planted in the Spring perks up. If so, that will save me from doing another 10 acres. Dang grass seed is expensive, $330 for 50lb bag or $7 lb.
