Who was your pig-sitter while you were gone?

My brother lives an hour away and he came by a few times with snacks. Oscar really enjoyed the watermellon he brought!!! And a couple of friends that live in the area came by to check on things, do a little fishing and enjoy the nice weather.

Walked down through the "woods". A photo of my "dry creek, it was much higher at daybreak. You can see the waterline.

Still raining here. Wind knocked over my grill onto the rain guage and broke it. I don't know how much rain we received. But it is SOGGY. Temps are cooler too. I'm thankful for the rain, and hope that our "catfish pond" fills up. Seems like the weather is like a teenage boy in a hot rod. Either full stop or full go. :laughing: A little moderation would sure be nice.

No Eddie, it is actually my neighbors and I didn't walk that far. I did text him and ask if it was still there! :laughing: He replied "LOL, like it's going anywhere"

I do need to get a photo. I haven't seen it since I got the welding done and we had started the lumber "runners". My neighbor finished the lumber with his brother from the big city! Said he feels like he's on concrete when he drives his Kabota over it.

Eddie, Bridge came out great. Water appears to have came up just below the I-beam and the concrete footings look stellar.:thumbsup:

The rains yesterday morning may have caused a fatality down the road. The creek which has a deceiving 15 hour delay in rising, after a flash flood rain, swept a car off the road and a local husband is missing his wife. Yesterday evening the creek rose quickly They found the car today but will have to wait till the morning to pull it out.

This is the same creek that caught me once wishing I could back up. It is a long slow curve you can see about an inch of water on the road but then when you get around the curve it gets deeper and deeper. In the dark you can't see where the road is to back up and you can only go forward. It is scary. This is not the first death here.
