Not sure how much we got but it was a bunch. Moved getting driveway rock to the top of the to do list. We have an 8000 Sq ft bog right now.

Everything is wet and boggy around here. The rains was just like it was being poured out of a bucket.

Got 2 inches Tuesday and 2 inches again last night.
Nice soaking!

Rain gauge was full, so we got more than 6 inches. Tractor in the barn for subframe installation after clutch R&R. Floor under tractor soaking wet, along with the whole tractor dripping condensation. Went out last night and condensation was dripping from a light switch.
Today is much better, with nothing dripping now.

Glad you were able to get the drip fixed @bindian!

It is very hard to fix condensation drips, but time was on my side.

February forecast for sunny with mild temps. We may have to switch over to the Spring/Summer thread early. Looks like I will need to start mowing around the house and stables before long. Same with the pastures.

Yep, the weeds that took over my yard during last summers dry spell are growing again. I'm putting up the flannel lined jeans and getting the carpenter shorts out.

On Oct. 2, 1835, Mexican soldiers were sent to Gonzales to take the town's cannon. The people had raised a flag labeled "COME AND TAKE IT," boldly expressing their decision not to be left defenseless. The Texians successfully fought back the Mexicans in what was the first battle in the fight for Texas Independence.
