Raining here as I write this and the local forecast calls for local heavy rain 2-4" thru Thursday night ... been a long time since the ground has been so saturated. Got a lot of spraying and fertilizing to do ... oh well ... I'll just enjoy the rain !!!

Blueriver, all those rains in Oklahoma end up deep down in the Trinity Aquifer. That means I can keep my sprinklers going a long time without running the aquifer dry (even if Dennis gives me a hard time).
If you can keep down the flash floods and the tornadoes, the rain can do a lot of good even if it seems the current amount is excessive. I know you'd like a dry spell so you could get in a cutting of hay.

:laughing: Could be a Thoroughbred too! That's what I get for trying to type after being up so long at work.
Blueriver, You remember last summer? take it while you can get it brother! Are you working on the 2nd cutt'n now? I bet you have some residual P&K still from last summer in the ground.
Jim, I have maybe 300' of hose,so, it's like calling the kettle black:laughing: Not enough to be termed a "hose array" yet, but will be close after I order some of those hoses you told me about

Now the Thoroughbred is *my* kind of toy!
We must maintain AGL
:laughing::wink:Hey, who turned up the heater?? Do I have to put a lock on the thermostat, gee people. Us N texans where supposed to fix the fence on the red river to keep out the cold, but you southerners (Brandie) have to do something about that south wind...Come on, this is a TEAM...99* on the porch?:laughing:

That's not a radio dial I'm looking at.
If this keeps up, I may have to turn on the A/C.

Well, I broke down and turned mine on, this week! I got tired of being all hot and sweaty, after a day at work of being hot and sweaty! I just keep reminding myself, "It beats the heck out of being cold!"

We're fighting turning on the a/c. If that cold front pushes through tonight as promised, probably won't need to for another week at least. Supposed to get down to 71 tonight. 30% chance of rain. Ceiling fans do help with the heat, as it is very dry here.
I am going to switch to riding first thing in the morning instead of at lunch or after work.

Geez guy's, I had my AC on by March:laughing: I'll do it (work in the heat) if I have to, but da'um, if I have the option to be comfortable.
