Well, I know who Amon Carter was, but I didn't even know there was a body of water with that name.

It's between Sunset and Bowie (just to the west). It's also one of the best kept bass fishin' secret lakes in N. Texas. RedRocker has a beautiful hilltop place on it's north shore and I couldn't help myself. I had to give him a hard time.

Yep, it's kinda small, but it's a nice little lake. Last time I was on it I had to tow a big pickle fork inboard drag boat to the ramp with my 14' 20 hp tiller stear aluminum boat. LOL

My part of Central Texas received only .2". The sky looked like we were really in for it, but it didn't happen. I'm not complaining.

We're supposed to be getting some of that rain here in NC today. It clouded up about lunch time and has looked like it wants to rain all afternoon. Maybe it will come this evening. We sure do need a good soaker to get the Spring plants kicked off.

In spite of the flooding appearance, this morning (36 hours later) I mowed the yard. Yeah, it was actually probably too wet to mow, but not a problem. When the rain quits, it soaks in and/or runs off fast.

I've never heard the term Frog Stranglin' Gully Washer.

We used to say "That's a real toad choker"

Should have planted rice in the yard this year.

We've had another real downpour the last 15 or 20 minutes or so, with hail for about 10 minutes. I think (hope?) all the hail was too small to do any damage. And we've just had some of the brightest lightning and loudest thunder we've had in awhile. Naturally, we lost our satellite TV reception, but at least so far haven't lost electric power or telephone.

Oh no, not another Frog Stranglin' Gully Washer.

Sounds like your going to need a boat by the end of the year.

Yeah, and I just sold my boat last week.

It was a relatively small storm cell this time, though, and has already passed through and gone and I only got 1.05" of rain in the gauge this time. The trouble is that the ground is so saturated that no more can hardly soak in.
