If it's not raining when I get home, I'm going out on the little tractor to try and do what the county isn't doing. Clean up the damage to the road that the last torrential rains did and dig out the drainage ditches on the sides of the road so it doesn't screw up the road as bad. I can't even drive the car to work right now and driving the truck every day is costing me money.

Need to go to my buddy's house tomorrow and borrow his 10' step ladder. With it standing in the back of the truck, I'll be able to reach the top of the tunnel frame to put purlins up. Someday when the soil dries up a little.

Rain gauge won’t be here until next week.

You’re a few hours ahead of me on the rain. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so I need to make the most of today’s pretty weather. Not that rain can’t be beautiful, I just don’t like to work in it.

Heh, we keep getting forecasts like that (or “more”), but we seem to be in about a county size area that is hard pressed to get over .1” or .2” in any one rain. Sometimes less. Luckily there have several of these dust settlers, plus one decent 1/2” rain, over the last few weeks. So, our soils are much less wet than they “should” be, but are still “slightly damp”. Tonight we’ve had several modest showers roll through, so I’ll check my gauge B4 I head back to bead. (A clap of thunder woke me up, and that in turn lead me to a “midnight snack” and FR!)

Collecting a decent amount of rainwater has been... tedious.

Huh, looks like this round of rain is about done. Just under 1/10”. But the next 7 days all look rainy or at least a good chance. Mowing could be a big problem...
