Surely you are joking?

I was trying to, just to see what the OP is up to. I seen the weather to night and looked kinda bad up there, are you affected by any storms where you are?

Oh yeah we are getting more than our fair share of rain (about 1.5in per day the last 4 days) and some wind lately! I imagine Bukit is getting wet as well.

Edit: Just looked at my rain gauge and is says the rate as we speak is 0.31in per hour!

Wow that sounds like a lot of rain to me, good news is no forest fire danger, bad news Santa might have to bring back Rudolf this year and Rudolf is a Unionized Reindeer, your Christmas present might cost more............Hang in there.

Yup, that "70 degrees/calm/dry weather" wasn't particularly appreciated, either by me OR our poor (last) pie cherry tree, OR the clear plastic part of my "wrap-around tent" -
'bout the only thing I've gotten done lately is to put a new tarp up on the WEATHER end of the small container roof; the typical "horizontal rain" only leaves maybe HALF of the 14'x24' covered area actually DRY otherwise -

Now maybe I can get a few things done on both cars WITHOUT needing SCUBA gear

Not quite as wet as DragonEggs' place, we only got just over an inch of rain today ...Steve

"Not quite as wet as DragonEggs' place"

I usually try NOT to quote myself, rather quote somebody that MIGHT know what they're talkin' about

But... you'd think that after 73 years I'd have learned NOT to challenge Ma Nature that blatantly - woke up this morning to overflowing gutters, and more leaks in my assorted "long term temporary" shelters than I had buckets for (both orange AND blue ones :laughing: )

Managed to get the IMPORTANT ones under control (AKA "buckets), AND get fans on most of the parts that should NOT stay wet; all this BEFORE my first (and ONLY) cuppa coffee :thumbsup:

Naturally (pun intended) the rain backed off to its USUAL level just AFTER I finished

I'm thinkin' that if there gets to be any MORE alligators in this swamp I'm tryin' to drain, maybe they'll start eatin' EACH OTHER and I might get ahead - OOPS, coffee just kicked in; SCRATCH that last thought

Oh well, "they" say challenges build character; and IMO, BRING 'EM ON - in today's world who'd even WANNA be "normal" ??!?

Less rain here than Mark’s and probably about the same as Steve’s.

Here’s a view of the farm this morning from my shop.



I’ll have to check to see if there’s any government grants for land based fish farms. Gotta keep the environmentalists happy....

Either that, or just plant GOOSE berries, there's obviously ALREADY a market ...Steve

I think Terry's Geese are already planting plenty of 'berries'! And I bet his slug population is down.

Now if that was pie making apple tree then that would be a case for suing mother nature, cherry tree, not so much even George Washington didn't like cherry trees mostly because his mother kept making pies from them and the seeds ruined his teeth so ole George had to make new ones so he could cross the Delaware river and MAG.......................When I first heard of the bad weather up your neck of the woods I was thinking of those big trees around your house, that would cause some major rework, but the good news is your house is paid for.............

I thought geese was suppose to fly south this time of year not west or south Canada, atleast they was heading south last month when they past my house, must be the free food they like, grain and bird feed...........
