Good morning. It's 44 and clear, first time in a week. The high should be around the high 50's and it will become mostly cloudy later. Got fed up with cable tv rates going up and up and the service going down and down. I called Dish Network on Friday and the system was installed and...

The Dish Network installer just called. He'll be here between 3:30 and 4.

You wouldn't want these squirrels. They eat pine seeds and taste like they were bathed in creosote.

That's a well armed squirrel! The one out in the yard has already lost an argument with my Crosman .22 rifle. Just a little pop, a plop then blissful silence.

Here's a couple of shots of the north-east switch tower in the Sundown community.

Good morning. It's 64, foggy and very wet, not to mention cloudy. The high should be in the mid 60's and it will be cloudy with rain. Not sure what I'll be doing today. The rain continues to fall negating any chance to get any gravel into the field line ditches. Only about half the line is...

Just set up an appointment with Dish Network. Cable is getting way to expensive. My monthly rate has gone up $15+ to bring my bill to $111+ in the last two months with no improvement in service. I will be dropping the cable tv service but I'll keep the internet service for my high speed...

Good morning. It's 58 and cloudy. The high will be in the upper 60's with a chance of thunderstorms. The plan for today is to get a few more loads of gravel moved, provided I get the gas for the tractor and the weather doesn't interfere. I may be able to start on the foundation skirting for...

Well, I took it easy today. I moved 4 loads of gravel (40 - 50 cubic feet) from the pile to the ditch. Getting the gravel into the ditch is what's dicey. I have to back the trailer up to the ditch, nothing difficult in that, but the brakes on the old tractor aren't all that great. I have to back...

Anybody get the idea Ezra is trying to start a gas war?

I'm getting a bit of a break today. The tractor wouldn't start. Dead battery. It worked OK yesterday. I've got the charger going on it so now I'm just waiting on it to charge. Wanna know what's hilarious? My mother suggested I use their new tractor. It's battery is deader than a door nail!

The guys who were contracted to put the new septic system in arrived to do it today as all their other work sites were too wet. Mine is on a hilltop so it's reasonably dry. They got the new tank in, dug out the ditches and put in the pipes. Now I have to get the gravel into the ditches. I moved...

I don't know a lot about that area. I can see the area of McNeil, Magnolia, Haynesville and all the rest of it. I don't see that branch to Lewisville on the map. It could have belonged to another road. What you were seeing back in the 40's and 50's were trains that had L&A on them but they were...

It's obvious that they don't make things as good as they used to. Plus many 'new' motors are just old ones that were rebuilt and therefore don't meet the mark of 'new, but you're charged for a new one anyway even though you're buying somebody's rebuilt junk.

Good morning. It's 52 and cloudy. the high today will be around 70 and there's a slight chance of thunderstorms. The guy who's going to be doing the backhoe work on my property came around yesterday to look at the area he'll be working in. He had some reservations about some wires crossing the...

Digging? Shovel? Not me! There's gonna be a backhoe out here doing that job. The L&A is for Louisiana and Arkansas, a fallen flag that was absorbed by the KCS.

Good morning. It's 64 and cloudy. The high should be in the mid 70's and there's a chance of thunderstorms. Didn't get much done on the layout yesterday due to life getting in the way. I've finally gotten tired of the breakdowns in the sewage system here so yesterday was spent gathering all...
