Repaired tractor tire blowout.
Bought the tire at Tractor Supply in Bastrop.
Bought the tube at Tractor Supply in San Marcos. It took 2 trips because I didn't know I needed a tube when I bought the tire. Sigh. Found a good tractor seat that will fit the tractor though!
Went to Discount Tire in Bastrop and they mounted the tire for free. Celebrated at Chili's.
Mounted the wheel and moved a couple of loads of dirt to the barn.
Moved a load of gravel to the driveway.

Global worming update:
Got 19 (she wanted more) she got an apple treat for being sweet.
Snapped some pix of goats attacking a tree. The goats won.

Finished moving the muck from the barn to the compost heap.
Cleaning out the barn once gains us about 2 cubic yards of compost.

Kristi transplanted a bunch of stray gourd plants that were trying to grow uncontrolled.

Our new pump quit working. I took it back to the garage to work on it.

Kristi gathered a bunch of weeds and gave them to the guineas and turkeys. They scarfed them all down. It doesn't take much to keep them happy.

One Cornish Cross pullet got stuck between 2 sheets of plywood. One wing was bloody. She got sprayed with Hydrogen peroxide and was put into her own stall. VERY luxurious for a chicken. We'll keep her there until she's healed so the cannibal chickens don't pick on her.
