0.8" here. Again, the rain seemed to slip west/south of us and we didn't get the main blast. Heck! Dennis has had more rain in the last week than I've had all year long. Sigh. . .;)

My son, daughter and I went to Milton Reimers Ranch Park (SW of Austin and just north of Dripping Springs), on the Pedernales River, to go swimming yesterday. We were going to Hamilton Pool State Park, but there was a 2-2.5 hour wait. We were in the river about 30 minutes when dark, perky looking clouds arrived. We left and had intermittent showers all the way back to Austin. Then we went the Roller Derby playoffs, followed by a late movie, which had blowing winds and hard rain on the way back to my daughter's apt. We were going tubin' today in San Marcos, but looks like Thunderstorms there this afternoon.
It sure cooled down in Austin after these showers!
hugs, Brandi

Well we ended up with almost 3", close enough to call it 3". I usually don't get this lucky:laughing: It seems we usually are in the same boat Jim and Bird are in. Honestly, I would have rather had it in `" increments once a week, but will take what I can, we wouldn't have our feelings hurt if it didn't rain here for a week or two though. This past rain was alomost totally run-off, which is good for filling ponds and such.

Brandi, Have you been able to capitalize on some of this rain on your new pond? Seems rain came at the time you needed to hold off, almost like it was "toying" with you!!

I have to leave for Palestine Texas today, a week on the road working, I should still be at home with the way my back is feeling ,but we are getting in a real schedule bind. Still waiting on Doc reports from my MRI, hopefully they will see something obvious and easy to correct. I'm not a "pill Popper" but this has really worked on my pain limits, now its testing my patience. I have to get this trip done and try to get to Colorado and New Mexico for 4 weeks, hard to plan things when you don't know if you'll be able to walk each morning:thumbdown:

LOL right!! I have been "forced" to stay in motels that wouldn't qualify as a "lean-to" , so that would probably work if the weather was cooler. We'll be the guys causing all the "disruption" at your local Wally world.

I prayed for 3" of rain. The airport's weather gage just about 1/2 mile from me registered 2.91" overnight.

Thank you Lord.

Dennis,
I am just getting enough rain to "set and grow" the $90 of bermuda grass seed I put out. I put it out two weeks ago and now it is so green in spots, I don't have to lean over and squint my eyes to see it. We got 7/8th inch today or last night. We saw plenty of rain puddles on the roadway between Austin and home this afternoon.
I guess I need to get some cheap grass seed to get grass growing down in the pond basin, so I won't get silting so bad. Any ideas, Y'all, on a cheap fast growing grass seed, that does not need to be disced under? Too soon for rye grass, or I would use that.
hugs, Brandi
