That is exactly why I KNOW for certain there is no such thing as 'Bigfoot/Sasquatch'.

There is no Cajun Recipe for it. End of Story.

Nice stand.

Those who don't own a stand, back up to a heavy duty post and strap it to the post and disconnect. Or drill it down half way into the ground and disconnect it from the tractor.

Thank you. I am about 2.5 miles off the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Malpeque Bay is in my front yard so we have salt in the air and by times if we have high wind, I've seen the yard white with it to the point you would think it was lime so I keep my equipment inside when not in use. The stand and pallet make things a lot easier to shuffle around.

Over 2 months since I had a drop of rain, I do have 2.3in of dust in my rain gauge though.

The last moisture we had was June 22, trace recorded, June 5, 4/10ths, June 4th trace. Last significant rain was mid May. Started cows on hay last month.

Near Montgomery, Tx.

About 1.5 hours north of Houston.

Assuming the owner has common sense.

Unfortunately, not so common these days.

Yes sir, I know the area well. I'm an East Texaner myself, born & lived in that part of the woods more than half my life. In 2014 I retired from the Army, recruited East Tx, from Montgomery County to Orange. Prior lived off 1488 across from the Woodlands. Moved before the madness began in 2014.

Anyways, let's just say, we're lucky to get half the amount of rain that Montgomery gets, and boy is it crucial to get close to the yearly - avg. 27in.

San Ant weather guy, said we would receive higher chances of rain if this does NOT form into a storm.

20% chance for tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico next week

Low pressure in the Caribbean has a 50% chance of development

Tropical development is not expected during the next 7 days.

SMALL WORLD. I was born and raised in Orange. Most of my family is buried in Orange.

I know San Antonio is DRY. My brother lives in Borne. Thats just to hot and dry for my taste.

not much to say about this one. Trench boxes and a KX-080 rental. Made a huge mound of soil. We had a few collapses but all were safe with two trench boxes. Used the B2650 as an assist in backfilling and cleanup. Jobsite will need lots of time to settle being down 8 plus feet and the soil was pretty greasy.

Got home at about 8:30 pm. Unleaded the B2650, and loaded up the U-27 for tomorrow.

You can see where the cave in(s) happened just by looking at the sides of the trench

Almost finished

I'll probably need to revisit this one in a month or so to regrade. But, It's safe for now and the sewer line is flowing fine. It's crazy how much soil is left over when digging deep. There's just no way (with equipment that we have) to get it all back into place.

Georgia rep. Hank Johnson is a full fledged buffoon, challenged only occasionally by Hawaii senator Mazzie Hirono.
How do voters elect these morons?

Throw Shelia Jackson Lee from Texas in and you have a trifecta. She's leaving the US Senate to run for mayor of Houston....lord help.
And yes it's dry at both my places.

At least only the voters of Houston will have to deal with Sheila now, rather than the voters of the entire USA.

They call it 'taking one for the team'.

I refer to Houston, as The Big Ugly!

With a few folks doing maintenance on equipment lately, I need to order alot of maintenance items myself. Dang has prices gone up. The skidsteer maintenance refers to alot of Shell oil products for recommended use, I will definitely be buying those, cause it's deff cheaper than Kuboter rebranded products.

It would certainly be nice if we could determine the actual maker of Kubota SUDT-2, and buy directly from that source.

The issue isn't find the maker, it is finding the same product from that maker. When Shell refinery was owned here locally and made oil, they made lots of different brands of motor oil. The issue you have each brand have specific requirements beyond the basic ingredients. One product may have more 'abc' additive and another may have more 'xyz' additive. Even though they were both made at the same place, both were motor oil, the final product was different.

Correction:
We need to find the formulation AND the maker!

shallow sewer line repair today...but somehow, it took all day. I think I must have sweated off about 3 pounds today.

Random pics:

done

It was a real sweaty day.
