We had right at 20" in May and a 1/2" start on June .. so far. Looks like more coming this afternoon.

We have had too much. Anyone is welcome to our "overflow". Last 3 weeks of May washed out all sawmill production. Got rained out today, but enjoyed working in the barn on another project.

It finally dried out enough here to start my garden.....along with other personal issues. Too late for the early stuff but got some nice tomato plants etc to start today. But I'm still a month behind.

Cheers,
Mike

Heat is here again. They are talking about rolling power outages again. I hope it does not turn into what was experienced over winter. Be careful out there.

Yep, power went off last night for just a second. Then tonight's news said Ercot reported 4 of the power sources were down today, didn't go into details.

Pedernales EC has put out a request to reduce usage but Deep East Texas EC has not.

11% of Texas generators are down for maintenance. Mostly routine, but some are down for no reason given. Power or brown out uncertainty is why I am having this installed..............

You will like a standby generator. I have had one for 16 years. Except for having to reset clocks after a running it has been great. Mine is on natural gas.

This will be hooked up to a 1,000 gallon propane tank.

Yeah, that wind energy generation is just not as dependable as natural gas or a full tank of propane.
