Yup, the lake looks so bad. I hope it comes up from the rain this weekend. We had several nice showers this AM.

I can see why the boat ramps are closed, and it is sad.

We have a popular state park lake about 6 miles north of us, and we have a garage full of nice Coleman and Igloo coolers that we find along the road. I guess they bounce out of trailered boats or come out of truckbeds if the tailgate is down. Some obviously brand new, with a bit of road rash. :)

That program sounds excellent! Thank you so much for the link, I am going to check that out for sure. I can think of 4 or 5 of my activities that I could track.

I forgot to add that you have a really nice back (or front) yard and, when there is water, one heck of a view.

I have high hopes but they will be going in soil that was in hay last year.

I put out 4 raised beds last year and then had beans, several varieties of squash, tomatoes , orka and tomatoes in the earth.

First year garden and I didn’t do anything but till and plant.. I did sift out about 100 pounds of small rock. Still a couple of tons left..

I’ve spent all winter contemplating. Since I only have a small amount of compost from last year, I think I might have to buy a truck load.

I’m expanding the garden this year..hopefully I’ll get my deer and rabbit problem solved.

I’d invest in some rebar and terrace where you want to garden.

Beautiful though.

Excellent! Thanks for the post and link. I just downloaded it and showed my wife the demonstration video and she said, "I need that"!

I thought about y’all last night when I cooked several of my hubby’s favorites for supper: fried catfish, cajun boiled shrimp, sweet tater fries and mustard greens w/ diced turnips. We’re dieting, so no hushpuppies or cornbread, which borders on insanity.

It’s not perfect ... but it is freeware. I have not found the nice ‘help’ that shows on the video. When I try to get ‘help’, it downloads in html into an OpenOffice doc (I don’t have Word ... that may be the problem(?). That being said, I really haven’t needed the ‘help’ hardly at all .... everything is fairly ‘intuitive’ and the time or two I’ve gone to ‘help’, I’ve been able to figure it out. You may end up with the nice ‘help’ on your computer.

That being said, I LOVE RedNotebook. Using a tag for ‘to do’ is super and works well. They’re working on a 1.4 and have a fairly active process of dealing with issues if you report them. Some folks are using it for work tasks and from the questions, are obviously at a much more sophisticated level of use than I am. I think you will find the benefits far outweigh any little ‘issues’. Let me know how you like it. :-)

OK now this is funny. Happened to a weatherguy here in Austin yesterday.

TV weathermen get lots of feedback from viewers — some positive, some negative.

It’s not often, though, that they get a letter like the one KVUE morning and midday meteorologist Albert Ramon recently received.

If you click Help on the top menu the drop down appears and right at the top is Contents - click on that or just use the Ctrl key and the H key at the same time.

I love whole fried River catfish with a corn meal coating. Add a side of slaw and some fried okra and sweet iced tea, Yum!

That’s what I do .... but I get an ASCII Filter box - my choice is ‘ok’ or cancel & when I do ‘ok’, it downloads the help document into an OpenOffice doc in html.

Sounds like you are getting the nice help ‘manual’ vs the html document.

RedNotebook may be just the perfect application for my home brewing projects and notes. I have been keeping notes in an excel spreadsheet. It will be most helpful for gardening for sure!

It ‘makes my day’ every day when I open it up and start writing. :-)
