Need rain now!!!

[roscoe]

Can you boat in a lake full of dust?<br /><br />Forecast keeps calling for thunderstorms, but none arrive. Just came in from a rest, turned snooze, on the deck. Fell asleep watching the deer feeding in the moonlight. Lots of stars too. Kind of strange considering we are under a severe storm watch. Haven't had 2 hours of rain in the last 2+ months. Need some now or the hay and corn crops will be lost. Even the marsh grass has gone brown.<br /><br />Kind of nice not mowing lawn, and no skeeters, but the maple trees are wilting, the streams are drying up, the lakes are low, and my vans are all dusty.<br /><br />Moving this to "nothing to do with boats".

Come and get some of ours matey, two days of rain and expecting more yet!<br />I'm guessing about 25mm+ today and i don't know what tomorrow. House tanks all full and overflow working just fine.<br />I wouldn't mind some fine weather soon.<br /><br />Famous sayins, "all the seas run into the ocean yet the ocean is never full". <br />Ross

Re: Need rain now!!!

Hey I hear ya.. thinking about getting one of them air boats.. slide accross the dry patches in the lakes.. but the brown lawn doesnt need mowing <br /><br />Ugg your going to get slammed here with that remark:<br /><br />"Fell asleep watching the deer feeding in the moonlight. Lots of stars too. "<br /><br />What more could you want Mate? <br /><br />OK a little water in the lake helps! <br /><br />But to fall asleep watching deer feed in the moon light.. give us city slickers a break <br /><br />Link

Well, here in upper SC we have just went thru 5 years of dust bowl conditions, water tables were down, and wells were going dry. BUUuutt!! this year, we have an over abundance of rain, the lake has been in the front yard about nine times (last year not once), have to mow the grass a couple of times a week, and the mosqitoes are terrible, which is the biggest problem, with the advent of the two deaseases being spread by them. I hate spraying myself with deet every time I go to the garden.

We went thru that too Lakeman. It was just about 3 years ago it seemed like the whole state of Fla was on fire. My house just happened to be upwind of one. Thank you Lord!<br /><br />Lots of folks around here complaining thet cant go boating because of the rain. I just remember the fires and dont say a word. <br /><br />I have a rainsuit.
