1.3 inches rain here overnight. Parts of Conroe got 4 inches. Somewhere around Willis a tornado dropped down briefly.

Bird, I had to mow my yard after the little rain last week, almost like thats what it was waiting for. I'm sure you will be mowing the neighborhood this week sometime after today's rain

You're sure right about that, Dennis. I mowed our yard Saturday, but didn't do any trimming or edging, but right now both ours and the one next door are in dire need of mowing. I told my wife, she could just stand out there a few minutes and see the grass grow if she wanted to. So I'll be cutting lots of grass and a few weeds tomorrow.:laughing:

FG19, can work as "fuel" in a pinch, if it's high enough proof:laughing:

Brandi, good rain for you !! how do the ponds look?? more rain like that and you'll be putt'n out more dye:laughing: Conroe, doesn't surprise me at all, since thats all it did when I was trying to work there and as far as the tornado, I'm glad you dont know where it was, means it wasn't on your place.

Bird, your 100% right, mowed mine 4 days ago and it needs it again, it isn't a "manicured city lawn" but when it looks like me after not shav'n for 3 days, it's time to mow:laughing: Incidentally I was moving the mower to put some gas in it and the front drivers side wheel broke off:confused3: (push mower) Found some wheels online for less than $30 shipped, but I should replace the whole darn thing if it cant keep its own wheels on:laughing: like mowing with a tricycle with a flat Been a decent mower for a cub cadet, bought it in 2003

Dennis,
Both ponds came up about 6 inches, but are still 2 foot down. Well, it could have been close by, as I was at Hobby at the time. Everything is green here, but could use about 3 days straight of that over an inch rain.
hugs, Brandi

You got that right, a slow 3-4 day soaker would get us all back in business. We would have to find Jim sump'n to do though:laughing:

 

[Bird]

This morning, it was overcast, 67 degrees, and no rain in the NWS forecast until a 20% chance tonight. So I got an early start with the string trimmer, edging and trimming. But the humidity at 90% made my safety glasses keep fogging up. But I got done with that, then got on the ZTR and was mowing while watching the sky that looked like rain coming from the west, but it didn't. Anyway I got done with the yards in about 3 hours, so I'd like to see more rain now.

Surely his Mrs. has a "honey do" list of things that need repair, or work in the house! Maybe he stays more caught up that the rest of us!

Are you kiddin'? I'd sort my sock drawer and make belly button lint stuffed animals for three days straight of rain.:laughing:

TOUCHE' !!:rotfl::applause: "ahh a new "lint-a-baby" craze!

LOLOLOL I think we are all wanting 3 straight days of rain, without hail or tornadoes. Can anyone remember the last time we had 3 solid days of steady rain around here? Been a really long time, in this county.

And jinman, that really is too much info for this thread! :laughing:

 

[farmgirl19]

Western: Are you looking at what is out to the northwest? Radar makes it look sorta scary.

Yeah, we may get lucky and get some rain out of this by the am. So far it sounds like high winds and hail are the worst these will have (cross your fingers!) The one North of Abilene looks like a real run-off producer!

 

[jinman]

Well, if hopes and dreams were peaches and cream. . . . I'm just gonna keep working like it ain't gonna happen so I can be pleasantly surprised if it does.:thumbsup:

 

[Bird]

It may or may not rain, but that humidity is terrible this morning. I worked up a sweat without working; just walking, and slowly at that.:laughing:

 

[Western]

Bird, you "aint" kidding!!, I guess its a good thing to help hold what little moisture we have in the ground, but other than that, I cant stand it either.
4-5 years ago we took the kids to Padre Island, for 4 days, it was stifling (sp)!! Even the kids didn't like the humidity enough to spend over an hour outside:confused3: I will never go back! And my how the "demographics " of the populace have changed since my last times at PI!!

When I was in high school and then a few toga parties there as a freshman in college (Spring breaks), I dont/cant remember it being near that humid (could have been the alcohol:laughing

Jim, N Texans survive on hopes and Dreams!! and some of us like Blue Bell Peaches and Cream:laughing: 30% chance is slim, that means it's a 70% we use the water hose!..

BTW, Got mole #2 !!! I sure like the Victor out-O-sight trap, better then any others I have used. Lowes and Home Depot list them on their sites, but no go at the stores?? found them cheapest at Northern tool of all places.

Sure wish I had a bunch of therm 3 pound coffee cans up here. They are calling for a killing frost for the next 2 nights, and our garden is all in and up.
Hauled all the potted plants and planters back to the garage already.

I always enjoyed Port Aransas, but I've never been there, nor intend to be there, except in November - February like the snowbirds.
