Gilbert Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Keep your fingers crossed Texas, the season has yet to peak...... Well aren't you the bearer of good news The canicula is officially over, so I think he meant Hurricane season. The gulf ocean is due for a nice hurricane soon, hopefully before this month ends. The canicula (dog days of summer) officially ended yesterday, August 24th. But that didn't stop the temp from reaching 110 deg. at the ranch (in Encinal, TX). Laredo's seen well over 100 days straight of over 100 deg. heat.... freaking insane, but not unusual for Laredo, not at all. But there hasn't been this kind of searing, asss burning dry heat since I was a youngster. Lots of dead wildlife and wildlife in very poor condition thoughout South Texas country.

Mallette Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It's so dry here you can brand two cows at once by putting a piece of carbon paper between them... Yeah, very old. Wonder how many people know what "carbon paper" is? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Don't forget the onion skin paper that goes behind the carbon paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
