I had to take the wife up to the alien town to day and was amazed at what I seen on the way up there,,,,, Bout 15 years ago, the Highway Dept did a total reconstruction of US 285 which is the main N-S highway on the east side of New Mexico. They widened the whole thing to make it two lanes going each way with a 30 foot space separating the 4 lanes. They did this from the southern border of NM all the way to the Colorado border. Sure made for traveling those long azzed miles from north to south,,!! OK,,,OK,,I'm gettin to my story here in a little bit,,,,, ![]() ![]() Anyway they dug many, many "barrow pits" alongside the new highway construction for material for the highway and they left those barrow pits there as they were dug on state property. Most of those pits are bout 150 to 200 Yards long and bout 150 yards wide and maybe 30 to 50 feet deep. Between here and Roswell there are bout 10 of those pits and,,,,,,,,and,,,,,they was all still FULL of rain water 6 days since it started in raining around here,,,,that right there is one heck of a lot of rain,,at least around here it is,,,,,

Sounds like you got a few sprinkles there Joe... and got swimmin holes along the road way, How kind can your state be to folks. ![]() ![]() It didn't rain here yesterday, and isn't suppose to rain until maybe Thursday though the clouds move in on Wed.... So, I thought I would try cutting some poor trash hay now... an hope I can get it baled before wed. evening... and SHEESH!!! water was squirting out from under the tires most of the time while cutting today.

I cut hay yesterday. Custom job last cutting this year. Field was dry but every low spot in fields on the way there were full of water! Some farmers on light ground have started cutting soybeans. We are supposed to get rain Friday and Saturday. Just what is not needed for chopping corn.
