Tell that to my daughter, Von! Take a look at the attached picture and you'll see her (white cap) in up to her axles.
Interestingly, my whole family could walk around out there with minimum trouble, but when I tried it, I started heading for China -- the short way. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif Now, we all have R1 type of feet, but when you add up their combined weights (100 + 58 + 40), you get 198 lbs, which is just about what I weigh all by myself. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif
I think physics is working against me on this one.

Weathermen don't predict the weather. They just make up lies, at least in my part of the country. For the past two months they predict rain, more rain, and more rain. Never got any of it. It got dark, wind would blow, and you could see lightning and hear thunder and just knew it was going to rain, but not a drop. Got our first rain in two months today - .8 of an inch. Grateful for every drop. Years ago, I learned not to take rain for granted. But this year, and the previous two, just make me appreciate it even more. Country life sure helps one appreciate more things in life (than when I lived in the city).

Oh! About weathermen. Where else can you lie and get paid to do it?

We got a turd floater here in north Texas today. My rain guage shows 3 inches but the half the time the rain was blowing sideways and so was the rain guage, so I'm not sure. It was quite a bit however. We accidently left the big overhead door on the shop building open and filled up the shop with water, it seeped under the doors into the living area a little bit. I closed the door and spent an hour with the shop vac.

Alan, we had a little sunshine down here yesterday. I tilled the garden and planted some turnips. It was still a little too wet, but with this weird clay you never know. It tilled beautifully, but sure built up the mud on the tires and tiller; took longer to clean up the tractor and tiller than it did to do the tilling. Then we got a little shower about 5:30 p.m.; a total of about .1"./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

How does a rain guage work?
We've been getting a steady rain here all day. By the way, will somebody explain to me how a rain guage works? I see them all shapes and sizes. Some with funnels and some not. How do you know you're collecting the right sample of rain?

Re: How does a rain guage work?
And we just got a brief shower this morning; I figure about .07". As for how you know you're collecting the right sample; I don't./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif However, my gauge is well out in the open and it usually reads about the same as my nearest neighbor who has one with an entirely different design.
