Looks like we'll have some big swells coming our way next week. Hope that's all it amounts to. I don't like the projected "hook" pattern some of the models show.
Fin, you and Bubba ought to get together and do something about it---after all, you are our leaders on here. I would ask Pier#r for help, but he's a retired pro, now. I did my part and kept them away last year, so it's your turn.
Don't worry Haywire, that is just a JV System and we have no strategy to address it. If a lot of people complain about being concerned about it, we will run in circles screaming, go away storm! That ought to do it.
Or we could go out on the octi together, take off our sunglasses and ugly it all the way down to Panama.

I get a kick out of seeing some of these model solutions about a system that hasn't even formed (and has a 7 out of 10 chance that it will NOT ;-)

Marine forecast shows ONLY Sunday with 2-3ft seas, then back to 1-2ft.
Hope so!
Remain calm, me and Bubba got this.Quote:

I did get a little bit excited this morning when a yellow jacket came buzzing around under my hat brim while I was on the tractor, but he was by himself and went on his way.
If Bubba and FinChaser have this one under control, I'll sleep peacefully and whistle as I tread life's rocky path.
Wire one tore into my
left wrist last week,,still sore.Fraid to bushog the rocky field out back,,but its gotta be done
I wait until dark to bushog this time of year. I can usually outrun the yellow jackets but the ground hornets and bumblebees will be more persistent. I started spraying glyphosate on my plots the end of June and again mid August and that keeps the bushogging to a minimum.
8in of snow out west, the earliest in 125 years..... might make for an interesting winter.....darn global warming .....down in the high 40's overnight here for a couple days .....I'll try and bring some cooler weather with me when I venture south
Sure enjoy both of my cab tractors.Cold A/C,stereo,and my new has front suspension.....
the best way to find the yellowjacket underground nests is just before dark. They will be returning to their hole from foraging. Follow them. Once you locate the main entrance look for an emergency exit within 8 to 15 feet. Block it off. Pour a quart of gasolene in the whole after dark and the fumes will end your problems.
We had a frost here in SE MN. I hope it wasn't killing frost because the corn isn't ready yet, it's a good 2 - 3 weeks out. My bluebirds left and the bird bath had ice in it. The frost will kill the weeds on the trout streams and that will make it easier to get to the streams and to fish. It should also turn the trout into their Fall feeding binge, which I haven't seen so far. :confused:Quote:

Unless you have one of those wussy cabs like JohnG, you'll either be bailing off the tractor and running for your life or you'll manage to get the tractor in road gear and set a new land speed record for agricultural equipment with implements attached.
I speak disparagingly of JohnG's tractor, but I'm just proud to have had a part in buying it for him, just like I feel a little surge of ownership pride when my dentist drives by in his BMW.
Haywire there's nothing like motocross jumping terraces at 15 mph on a tractor pulling a bushog while swatting bumblebees. I am convinced this event is where new cuss words are invented.
It sure doesn't look like this cool air we are getting, is making it's way down there.... sad to say
It's pretty cool here in North Alabama. Only in the 70's and has been in the 90's.
Bring on the cold I'm ready for hunting season
Front made it here...it's nice out....
