School Boy Dave "You mean today is Saturday?"

I've been busy grubbing out mesquite trees with the loader. Sometimes it just cuts them off at about 6" deep, but often it pulls the tap root out. Just a little tree can have a tap root 6' or so long. There are so many mesquite in the coastal bermuda field that it looks like giant hogs have been digging it up. In the spring I'll run the disk over it and fertilize. With any luck we will get some good spring rain and the grass will grow back fast.
Two of the large bearings on the disk plow have gone out. I pulled them off yesterday, a tough job on a hot day. I needed to get it changed because I'll need it to go over the wheat field to get it ready to plant.
