I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

Lake Travis has come up something like 8 feet in the last 30 days.They been dumping water from the lakes around Dallas flooding lots of s%^t. Drought is over. I believe this drought made it to third place for droughts. But I dunno if it's really over-over... read an article in the paper today that had experts saying it's gonna take a couple years of normal to above-normal rainfall to bring groundwater up to normal, and its gonna have to keep on as it as a while longer to fill up the really low lakes like Buchanan. But here in the trans-Pecos it's ridiculous... we're actually seeing the color green here for the first time since I first came here 6 years ago. And there's grass at the low spot at the local gun range high enough that you can't use the target stands on one end of the 200-yard berm. It's raining again right now as I type this, and another week of the same at least is forecast.

Today I was gonna go up to my lease near Junction, and fill protein feeders. I looked at the forecast, considered my gimpy leg, considered the loading of 20+ 50 lb bags of feed, and made a wise decision to stay home.

Bob,
I'm still laughing at "big phooking"! It is going to take a damn good cuss filter to catch that one!

A bit too dressy, don't you think? Don't you have an ol' time white, ribbed, scoop necked, sleeveless undershirt instead of the overdressed collared shirt?
