Hey Allen--did you get a pic of the lost wire knot

Yes, it is worse than I had originally thought. The wife has been building a "pile" of the darned baling wire scraps.

It is laying everywhere out there and the rains over the past 30 some years have washed it to the surface along with all kinds of fencing staples, old nails, gate hinges, etc. Got me worried about a rash of flat tires now. :>(

I"ll have to remember to take the camera next time we go out there.

Yeah, we were discussing that over on the implement page.

Darned things are anywhere from three to four inches long and scattered everywhere. A real pain if you have cattle.

By the way, got about 1/2" of rain here yesterday, drizzling now. Some corn's about 12", somes about 6". Guy down the road has an entire bean field coated with rust - only one I've seen so far. His plants were about 4" last weekend.

Glad you got your rain! We know all too well about the lack of moisture out in this country; so far this year has been good, but everything is behind because of the cool temps and lack of good growing weather.

Yeah, it is the unknown that is the stinker. This place has stood empty for a good many years and the 15 or so acres of buildings/corrals has all grown up to grass and I just don't know what old piece of iron is lurking where, just waiting to do some damage.

However, it should be very relaxing to bring this old farmstead back to life, I would think. Just hope I haven' bitten off more than I can chew tho. :>(
