Been raining off-n-on for several days now. Ground is saturated and water standing in puddles, with more rain predicted in a day or two.

Paul (CCCC) claims that getting nakid, going outside, and doing a rain dance improves your chances of getting a shower or two. You might give it a try. Hope you and the 'Warden' are doing ok.

Anyway I worked through the sprinkles, under the mighty Superstations and in the old 'Apache land' movie set area. Back in the day many westerns were filmed here, every time I see one of those old movies and they have the 'Bluffs' in the riding/desert scene I laugh, here they are from where I'm working. It's all houses and golf courses now. Kent

We totaled a bit over 4” total precipitation last year, and looking similar so far this year! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024

Listed as "Exceptional Drought" over most of the state. My gauge shows only 2.26" since October 1 and this is supposed to be our wet season. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

That’s about 1 3/4” more than we’ve gotten for the same period!
