The wild West Texas wind rolled in today. Haven't heard of any damage from it yet, but it sure seemed to wake up a lot of South County. But given the way the day started today, we thought we should finish with it too.
We finally got our PhilMax blades up and spinning this evening, and so far they seem to be doing great. They seem to love the erratic gusts of wind we've been getting today, and spin up to charging speed quickly.
The wildlife out here is getting active. We've seen lots of javelina, mule deer, and other critters out along the roadways over the past few days (though still not the primate who left his bag of feed; see previous post). The local quails had two clutches this summer, and the babies are like tiny copies of their parents running around.
Our animal is doing well too. Sprocket is back at his post as guard hound and loving it, though sometimes he barks too much at night.
A chicken got et while we were away, so we're down to nine. They're getting pretty hefty though. Finishing the coop has been on the back burner lately, but I wan't to get some work done on it this weekend.
I will take lots of pictures for the next post.
Hi! I've been following you two for about a year now. Great stuff. I love to come and read about how things are going. You're living a dream I've had for years. Soon, I keep telling myself. Keep up the great work.
