Well, we just got another disappointing complete miss by a really good shot at rain today, it gets old...

We just got a hard rain for about 20 minutes. Had a really hard rain Friday night, 1.5in in about 20min that causes some washouts. A place north of us had over 5 inches that night. Bummer that it keeps missing you! Your place looks awfully dry.
That's great that Kansas is getting all these great rains. I bet things are really popping up there!
I planted the plots over at the other place last weekend because I have to do it when time allows instead of when we have great shots at rain and stuff. I guess if the turkeys, crows, and doves don't get the seed it will be there awaiting the rain...

I almost bought a brand new one a few months ago for $250 but it was smaller than the one I got so I passed. I put 22 40 lb bags of lime in mine last night at 1 time so I know it will hold 880 lbs...could have gotten a couple more in it...
I think my wife is going to get a metal detector because she is excited to know what is around. I know of MANY old home sites that have never been detected...
Thanks 3C...
We have a chance for rain later this week...perhaps we will get some then.

She might find some valuable parts to a muscle car!
She might but we are thinking more along the lines of old coins, rings, memorabilia from times gone by...
We have an old house place on our 28 acres that was pre-electricity and we have another one on our deer lease so those would be good areas to check

Man that plot looks slick as a ribbon, and as usual, your deer are great.
Interesting on finding the civil war stuff. Was there a battle there?

Are you going to get rain tonight?

Rain chances keep going down and above average Temps right now are not helping. The small 1/4" I received on Tuesday has been sucked up. Ground was pretty dry at my place yesterday. Dove season and the state fair is just around the corner. Rain usually follows. Hopefully something will materialize with these 20 to 40% chances.

Good luck with the rain. I hope you get something out of this system.

The guy who came by with the detector to help me told me about all the stuff he has found and it just makes you want to go out and get one like - RIGHT NOW!
He set it on the "gold" setting and got 3 strong hits that were a 8-12" deep...we didn't dig...
Thank you on the plot. The soil is really sandy and doesn't hold moisture well and I don't know if it shows but it is on a grade. It cuts well with my old disk - I probably should have done a throw N Mow on most of it but if we ever get rain it should do well like it usually does...
I am hoping I can get the plots in up on our 80 soon in the rock hard ground but I have to have rain first to do that since it is too hard to break right now. If I could just get those in I could back out of there until season. I am going to Lime the N Plot after work today since I limed the South Plot 2 days ago. Just using Pellet Lime and my spreader and once it rains I will be able to mix it all in...
Not as many bucks utilizing our place this year and lots more does. I have only identified daily use by "Laid Back 9" and we "Hurt 9" makes a loop through about once a week with 2 smaller bucks and we have a little 6 point using our Backyard Rock Plot most nights... Still awaiting the shift...
My mother said there used to be a stage coach road across our place but I am not really aware of any battles but I am sure there were skirmishes. We are only about 9 miles from the Fort...
I could see lightning last night well to our North at like 1 AM. No rain and the chances we had starting tomorrow keep diminishing. Looks like we have real low chances the next 3 days and then no chances after that according to the local weather forecast. It was 97 degrees yesterday with a stiff south breeze that makes it like a hair dryer over the landscape...
It would be nice if we could share rainfall - Louisiana got way more than they could ever want and it was a horrible thing for them. I guess we shouldn't complain too hard. We choose to live here and as far back as I can remember to my boyhood there were very few summers that everything didn't dry up to toast and we had high fire dangers. We fished the creeks hard in the spring because we knew by July they would no longer be running and by August even the potholes would dry up...difference is I didn't try to grow anything back then but I do remember helping dad feed hay in the summer so I know it was a source of stress for him...
Don't know if this is relevant or not as I got it with my lunch today...as much as I have been crying about lack of rain and have already planted 1/2 of my plots?
