Yes, it's beginning to cool down here too, starting on the first of September. So far this month the lows have been: 25,27,30,35,36 and this morning a crisp 33. Supposed to hit 90 this afternoon. Iron ...

I'm jealous. You've got some nice wind to prune your trees but not too much, plus enough rain to fill your pond, but not too much---the best possible storm experience. Better keep an eye on Ike though ...

I also stopped awhile and checking out some of the lakes (like lake
crowley) and takled to some of the ranchers in the area and they
mentioned that there were lots of problems with water.

On a curious note, what caused the rolling brownouts in California that led to the recall of the Governor ?
Well, it wasn't a lack of generating capacity. Here we are 8 years later, very little incr ...

I was in central North Carolina in 1969 when Hurricane Camille came through. Seems like she looped behind me and went through Heineken's front yard...

That's the difference between me and someone who does this for a living.

They've changed the forecast. Looks like Hanna will be wanting to bounce back out to sea. Eastern Virginia will get some rain, but not much where I am. Oh well. Sigh.

We could either change the name of the storm to H ...

Well, here it is September. No measurable rain in the entire month of August, 23 days of 90 degree maximums or better, at my homestead. Hottest day was 104, coolest was yesterday, 66. In fact, yeste ...

I want to build a loose copy of the freight trailers that look like an aluminum ladder (I plan to use an old ladder) laid flat with wheels, so I can haul something bulky, maybe up to 100 lbs.

Thanks, Shanny, for being the most gracious hostess!

The coolest thing about bikes is they are virtually worthless right now. If you dont believe me check out your local landfill/dump/thrift store.

There are bicycles and there are "bicycles". Most ...

Another option is to use a draft animal to power a generator. If you have a mule or a horse you can use it to drive a generator by letting it walk in circles turning a turning wheel geared to a gene ...

We've had a mild summer here. Right now, at 9:57 am, it is only 66 degrees. Yesterday morning, when I woke up, it was 58!

Nice, Ferretlover. As I reported upthread, on the 17th it was 104 here. Wel ...
