Surge over this way, 120 miles from landfall was only 1.5'. Devastation starts about Apalachicola and runs East then SSE to just North if Tampa... Got up and posted the colors after retiring them in yesterday's wee thunderstorm ⛈. My Marine buddy Mooch's dock in the same Bay. Didn't...

Lineman staging in Pensacola, FL yesterday in preparation of the incoming Hurricane Helene. We get LE and military feels all the time but these heroes, especially down here along the coast, are revered. So many newbies with gensets making their dangerous restoration efforts even more...

Splitting the points between me and @Chancegriffis - always worse to be on the East side of these beasties. Afterword it might bring some much needed relief to parched sections East of the Mississippi, prolly flood some areas that need rain. 😕 The pocket between Apalachicola and St Marks is a...

"Thank you for your service." For those wondering why some of us Veterans laugh or make jokes at each other, it comes with the brotherhood. Some go through service fairly uneventful, some see some serious shit that you'll never be able to understand, and chances are there was a whole lot of...

With the ongoing drought, the farm is right between Moderate to Severe, I'm very happy with the way the plots are actually performing. 5 years ago I'ld of had bare dirt. Now with the 365 of something growing and minding the creation of thatch I have viable crops surviving and ready to...

Finally some appreciable rain in the forecast so whats left of the rye has a chance to germinate after the vermin and birds ate on it for 13 or so days. Yellow acorns ran out tonight 💛 🌽 for them. Had the bachelor group come in and clean it up the leftovers at dusk. Fun to pan and zoom...

In this awful drought the seep was flowing ~ 2 gpm, Crescent pond was ~ 2.5' low. In the four days since we completed it, the dyke has collected 100's of gallons of water and or course it's soaking the nearby soil as well as filling up. I added 400# of lime and a 100# of gypsum I had left over...

We slowed the seep thru the East side of Crescent pond with the work done in '23. When Chris came down March of this year we walked the entire Spoil bank and found two seeps. The first was very slow and our guess was that it might, possibly be coming from Crescent pond but many other...

Our old neighbor has some great skills in growing flowers and veggies. She asked if I wanted to harvest her rhubarb when I was up last week. Brought it back fresh and put it up 28 cups today with 6C in the pie and 2C for sauce. Mrs. is a 100% ace pie maker. Vegetable pie for dinner.

Very nice, I didn't know how rare droptines are until a buddy's son took one on my farm. Good luck on the hunt!

Man its dry up here, thought the tropical event this week might bring some relief .....nope. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/09/historically-bad-drought-worsens-in-southern-ohio-abnormally-dry-in-much-of-greater-cleveland.html

Watching this documentary again tonight, becoming a yearly thing and no bad dreams afterwards .... They did the best job I've found to date on laying out the timeline, facts and fog and friction of that day. I got notified about 2200 on the 11th report to 1stAF, Tyndall AFB the next day...

Atta boy, great bucks- got to be loads of fun with your brothers hunting and hunt camp shenanigans.

Thx Brock, I use the small locust stumps in the pond to give me instant feedback on the holdover. The far plot, "Far Corner" is 195yd to two pines, 182 is a poke! My holdover is right about 18" at 195 with the CCI 2200fps 30gr HP.

Got the venerated old .22 Mag out when I saw one out in the far plots. 1. 165yds 2. 155yds 3. 45yrds 1 solid hit he was sitting in his hole, will try body recovery later today. ... as in look ans see if he's not more than a hands lenght in the hole. Found one rotting in the hole keeps...

Great idea cleaning venison out of the freezer. I save the sirloin tip and tri tip off the hams for venison BBQ. Used my brisket seasoning on this batch. I smoke for about 3 hours in wild cherry. Move off the smoker and crockpot to breakdown the connective tissues. Shred and pack for the...

I got some great wildlife pics putting a cam just at water line in a beaver dam looking upstream and if you can drop a tree trunk across the corner of the bank to the dam that worked well for me me to. Great pics and vids of @Wildlife ya got going 👍

Thx Al, what would be your goto surfactant in the Gly burndown example and why? Blue Dawn dishwashing soap doesn't address if it's an non-ionic and I think many folks use it as the defacto easy and cheap surfactant. From what I've seen, crop oil and MSO shouldn't be used because it'll...

Five years ago I was thinking of using IMOX and found the thread started by CSPOT. His results, detailed in that thread on this forum, helped me conclude it would be a good addition to my war on weeds in a legume crop. Since then I've used some other herbicides and had varying degrees of...

First hard horned walked in front of a cell cam. Got a notification and beamed in... fun yesterday afternoon. Nice up and commer and plots doing what they can with the drought going on in my area.
