Drought update, chore list
US Drought Monitor for Texas
Article on the worst TX drought in 44 years affecting wheat and cattle
Where I live now, I'm only in "moderate drought." Where I lived before? Extreme drought.
I'm going to start resting the paddocks more. I wish I had the horse's stall in better shape, but I'm not really getting all the help I thought I would. A certain someone encourages me to play more than I need to. He does help some...
With that said, my chores for this week are:
- GET NEW DRIVER'S LICENSE, ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- get truck looked at - power steering fluid, rear diff fluid, radiator flush, new spark plug wires, seat covers
- wash truck
- wash car, vaccuum, wax?
- take all that stuff in the garage to the thrift shop before I fall over it ONE MORE TIME
- find home for washer/dryer
- call "before you dig" to find out where exactly the pipeline is
- allocate wood for fences
- allocate gates for stall
- allocate wood for 2 more garden beds (6 eight-foot 2x12s, with two cut into 4' pieces)
- water pastures if it doesn't rain
- throrough grooming on the thoroughbrat - he's feeling neglected
- bathe the dogs
- fix the garden gate
