Hey guys and gals just sitting here watching tv. There's a forty-five minute show on this family. Documentary channel. This family started way back in the late 1800's and has evolved into quite large farm now. Several thousand acres, trucking business, grain buying/selling. Kinda cool to to see these farms are still going from the same family that started it so long ago. In early 1900 something they were buying acres for like around $130 acre!!!! Still a lot of money back then. Thought I would share.
 
The Documentary Channel has played it often, they are known to repeat repeat repeat shows over long time periods.........

Whooooooooo Meeeeeeeeeeee????

Yep I watched and recorded that show a longgggggggg time back but noticed lately its scheduled over n over.

In summer I watch far less TV, too busy outside, but maybe a bit more in winter UNLESS I'm in Florida which is 3/4 months and dont watch much then either. I do enjoy History and Discovery and Science and Fox News and Travel Channels and Turner and AMC Old Movies. I NEVER WATCH ANY NETWORK SHOWS ANYMORE, havent in years.

PS I will be staying around Austin Texas in the RV most of October, come visit me.

A kid I went to school with just bought a place right out side of metamora, I guess he got some hay ground and pasture with it. He rented an 80 right up th road from there too. Maybe you'll see a show about him someday on tv
 
Temple Tx has a very good show in Octber.( date might be on the show calendar) If you are still there you may want to check it out.
