nice work chief, It's been hot and dry everyday here for a while now. It's suppose to rain Thursday and cool off after that. I hope we don't get to much rain as dry as it's been it would put a beating on that seng, especially with cooler temps on the way as well. I plan on going Saturday I hope there's some still to be had, either way at least it will be cooler, lol.

yep, don't take to many of those cold nights, and mix in a little wind a rain, and they start falling apart fast. The rain here is over, and it's absolutely beautiful out there right now, sunny and cool. We didn't get to much rain or wind off the hurricane system, so i'm hoping there's some to be had this weekend. Hope you get a few more in chief, you've had an excellent season!

Glad to see you are still piling it up, Chief! Time is ticking for sure. If a guy can get in deep hollers, he will still find some green but up high its about gone.
