 Topic: Almost 14" rain here in the last 10 days.
Posted: 26 Jun 2018 at 8:46pm |

Anybody else think ol Shameless has converted that ol snow machine into a rain maker??? Its gonna be 95 here the rest of the week. I'm hoping he'll turn the ice maker back on any day now. You guys get him to hutch and I'll get the Native American side of me to his drive way and do a few rain dances while I'm there. I guarantee they won't be very long ones, got too much belly hanging out front. Still supposed to rain every other day here the rest of the week. At least I got her filthy Ol goat hay rolled up.

5" here in the last two days. We were a little dry and it came down slow.
But they are giving rain for the next 10+ days. That's when the flooding will start.
I have a small deadend valley on my farm that the water can get 10' to 20' deep, then 2-3 hours later, there will not be a puddle left.

Got another 1.5 inches here in a few minutes this morning. 60 to 80 mph winds. I just spent 3 hours picking up the big stuff the lawn mower will take care of the small stuff.

Corn blown down, also broken off about waste high, hail stripped, etc. Huge trees broken off. One of my gal pals called the wife, shameless not what your thinking, she had a huge tree split and pulled into. Its full of honey bees. We set up a hive beside it with a swarm lure inside. We're hoping they move inside. If they do it will be a huge batch of bees. There is a lot of honey a lot of brood, a lot of good looking stuff in there inside the hollow tree. Wish we could get it all.

We got another 3/4" last night. Up by the State fair grounds the recieved 5-10". We wondered if they would continue with the 3rd day of the Classic Car show. When we got here they had skid loaders and street sweepers cleaning off the Grand Concourse so the guys could drive round and round.

Thanks Ted, we could use it. Was in my soybean fields last night......not good. I've never seen beans so shriveled up and tiny. Not good...... I see we have an 80% chance of 1/4 inch on Thursday. Every little bit helps I guess.
