We had a two-hour deluge today, but we needed it. After having the WETTEST April in recorded history, we THEN had the DRIEST May, and now June seems to be catching us up.
You’re such a Gadget Guy! I truly wish I were more mechanical. That would’ve made my Dad very happy, as he was one of those people that can fix anything! :)
Today was my annual ‘Hack Back the Viburnum that Blocks the Internet Satellite.’ I pretty much have it on the calendar for early June each year. Spotty service today and I thought it might be the rain, but when I put on my boots (after the rain) and grabbed my pruners, there were a good half-dozen branches blocking the satellite dish.
The first time this happened I was on the phone for about an HOUR with someone in Nepal trying to ‘help me.’ I figured it out, myself and it’s been clear sailing ever since. I think cutting down that Viburnum would be worth it, once and for all! At least it would buy me a few years before it grew back.
WHY the kid put it so close the the shrubbery remains a mystery...
We just got quite the deluge too: It didn’t last 2 hours, but, I think the intensity may have made up for it. Holey Carp...
The backside of the MCS (system) is rotating through now - maybe we’ll get another 1/4” or so, more slowly, which would be good, as even several times that much is of limited benefit* if it mostly runs off of dry soils.
*OTOH, I did get my rainwater storage filled very quickly! I really do need to get that expanded...
