He tried the Kubota but found it uncomfortable to operate since his knee won't bend enough to get his foot back far enough to operate the...

The sheep use t for shade since that pasture hasn't got any trees, and also for rain cover. There are always a couple hanging ut...

    No rain here either and we badly need it. High hopes on Thursday night when the wind picked up and sky got really dark. Thunder but no rain. Must have blown south because they got some in Mineola and Grand Saline lost power from the storm. Super dry here.
