looks like Social Security and Veterans incomes are on the chopping blocks

i hate to say benefits because its not a benefit , it was earned and needs to be paid back

Gotta go do battle with the back field. Like Schwarzenegger said, "I'll be back."

Holly Moley! Flooding here. The 2' wide ditch behind my house is getting wider and wider. In all the time I have lived here 3 times it has gotten up to my fence line. Might do it again today. Rain keeps coming and there is a stream of rain clouds all the way to the Kansas line out close to Big. If it gets to my fence line it will be over 50 yards wide.

Waiting and watching.

the ground is saturated out here , no flooding but lots of water

we will drive a mile down to the Big Sandy and see if any water is flowing

it has happened only twice in the last 13 years so we will see

Good idea! How do you do that? Maybe disability as well...my back is killing me.....food stamps! I am personally stunned at how much money I can mooch off the American taxpayer....wonder what else I qualify for.

Actually not my cup of tea.

Last time I collected unemployment was 48 years ago

I got the tractor stuck. Had to be on the farthest place from the house. I got the back field done so I figured I'd cut some trails through the woods. No hickups 'til I hit the back fence line. Tooling along and noticed the front tires were wet just about the time the rears started spinning. No problem. Put it down in turtle. Nope. Still ain't moving. Put it in 4WD. Nope. Kicked in the differential lock. Nope. Rocked it aback and stuffed some branches under the tires. Nope. After about 20 minutes, I turned her off and made the walk of shame up to the house. Grabbed the Old Hen and the plow Jeep and drove between the trees 'till I got within chain range. Old Hen wanted to drive the Kubota and have me do the towing, so I put it in 4 wheel low and pulled it out. She drove the tractor back while I was putting the Jeep back in the barn. PITA.
Sucked up some of the grass that had been tossed into rows with the MDD and put it on the compost pile. I'm done.

Another reason I love flat Floriduh:

Need to get a few guys out there with shovels and clear that gravel off before the afternoon wagon train rush...

Still raining. Creek is about the same. Best moisture we have had in a few years. Huge coma cloud. Starts in Woodward Ok and a direct stream of moisture coming right to the house.

Coming from the east hits the mountains and follows the front range to my house. Typical upslope comma cloud.

Do you have a full basement or is it bedrock in that area

Meanwhile here in Florida we’re getting ready for hurricane season… I have a feeling this year is going to be an epic year for hurricanes
