It only rained .6" and the pond filled a foot.
I do have some pavers left over for a nice spillway, rocks would also work . . . .:applause:

The day after our VFD water rescue another VFD in our County also conducted a water rescue on another flooded road. Theirs required the use of a helicopter. 4 days after the rescue, the driver was served with 2 warrants and taken into custody- "Endangering a child" and "Disobeying Signs/barricades". Her bond is $14,000.
She will also get the bill for the helicopter.

73°F and .3 inches rain since midnight.
Adjusting to time change and working some issues that arose during absence. Having a generator issue I'll post more later. Our youngest Boxer had to visit Vet and treated for congestive heart problem.
Be safe
Have a great day.

Glad they are safe. However, I like this approach by your county - it is the only fair way to deal with intentionally irresponsible users of tax paid services and putting others at risk.

Well I guess I will have to change my tractor list soon, I got word that the loan went through for the people buying the Massey and all of the equipment. Sad thought and a relief at the same time. I'll soon be a city slicker. Ed

Ed, at least you have lived the life. Many have no clue. I can see the day when I will need to return to the town life, city??? Nope. Property takes work and if your like me and don't have anyone close to help you out when it gets to be too much,,,well you just got to change plans. No shame in that.
Raining and crappy cold.
Mark my good friend called me to update me on his brother Jeff. Well after they got Jeff to Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, CA. They found out that the first hospital in San Diego had it all wrong. His liver is not the problem. The big bleed was in his esophagus and even after they scoped it they missed the problem. To add insult to injury he contracted a MRSA staph infection at the first hospital in San Diego. WOW what next???
Went shopping with the money I did not spend up north and got two pairs of new jeans, some pocket T shirts, and some new briefs. I got the outdoor faucet but ain't going to change it in the rain and found out my PVC glue is dried out so now I have to get some of that anyway.
Tomorrow I will donate some blood at the church, they always have good home-made soup for those who donate. Won't help Jeff but maybe someone else in need. Good to bleed out now and then anyway.
So I may not check in in the morning with all the running I have planned.
Later

A bittersweet moment. I will say a prayer that your future is going to be better.
RS, I wouldn't hold my breath to get that chainsaw back, but if the kid gets an extra month of time from it......
RNG, keep us posted on the cray-cray colored vanagan saga, (sorry, but it looks like the same color as cat vomit to me, but I would love to drive it around). Maybe beauty truly is in the eye of the beer holder. Maybe you can get the color matched and repaint it shiny.
Dave Sodamo, hope your dog can get better. Glad you had a good trip. TMI, if you're like me, I usually can't wait to get back home. Especially to use the restroom in my own restroom...
Don, I saw that article in the paper and was wondering if it was the same case you had previously mentioned...but no it wasn't. The photo in the paper showed that she had "passed out" from the stress of the event. Probably never been rescued by a helicopter before. A nickel says she doesn't know how to swim.
Ron, it sounds like Don is saving up reasons for you to head back down here soon.
Last nights storm flooded the garden yet again. It is taken over by nutsedge. The onions are blooming so I guess it's time to pull them.

Good evening all. 63F this morning nice and clear after last nights thunderstorms. .8 in rain in the rain gauge. Made if to 77F with light west wind. Looked at a 48V Golf cart today, rode bike and picked up downed branches, elsewhere in the neighborhood, some large trees got blown over, so we were lucky.

Sorry to hear about your dog. My boxer girl is like a kid to us.
Hot and humid here in Florida. Gotta turn the air on.
