Rainfall

[Jaspro]

First off I ain't complaining. It is starting to get annoying though. Sure making it difficult to get some things done. We had another 2.2" last night and it now looks like the red river is running through our front field. North of here around the Cisco area got hammered last night. It rained up there ALL night long almost in one spot. During one of the weather alerts it said that they were geting 2" an hour up there. I think I am going to start work on an ark.

Let me know when you get that ark finished, I might need to borrow to take to and form work the next few days. Some jerkoff parked in my covered parking space last night and go figure the one night I leave the jeep out, I don't watch the weather. So much for leaving the top off....GGRRR!!!!!

Well in a few months we will probably be praying for the rain again. I know this will help the fawn population this year and grow some nice racks on the deer. What chaps my back side is that I am stuck at home knowing the cat fish are tearing some bait up.

about had my fill of it here in Woodlands, Conroe area also. just afraid to say it outloud, cause as soon as i do we won't see rain till next year.
when they built my house they had to bring in 92 loads of red clay, up plenty high so as not to flood but if this continues i might find out what an underground house is like!!! the clay is so saturated i can take a 1/2 rigid pipe and push it 3-4 feet into the ground by hand.

Wow Jamie that is bad. Our yearly rainfall average here is 26". After last nights rain we are at 34.7" so far for the year.

June in south Texas with water like that. Crazy.

It seems to be raining everyday around home. I have my hound in a small kennel in the back yard, healing up from a battle with heart worms, and the dog house was floating this morning. The thing I dont like about it is the bugs. We were at the lease this weekend and for the first time since I have been on the place, we have mesquitoes up there. Some slack wouldnt hurt a thing.

Good show, mebbe the buffalo will reproduce this year so we can go shoot one for the freezer. They were shut down in the drought East of Cotulla.

Mon- Wed. the weather showed to clear up and be nice Thurs- Sund. I cut hay all day Wed. and got in at 11 that night to see the weather completely change to rain all weekend. I tethered or tettered (depends who you talk to) all the hay to rush the drying, no rain Thur or Friday but no sun either. I started baling Saturday morning and had to stop as we got a little shower. Fluffed the grass some more and baled 59 1/2 round bales last night night. The last half bale I made the bottom fell out and it flooded once again. Been raining off and on since. I was blessed to get that done in such crazy weekend weather. I was thinking I would lose it because it showed rain all week and some of the area would be too wet to get back in.

I still can't get a food plot in. I guess i'll just have to wait and put my fall/winter plot in later and just keep feedin' like crazy.

I was doing a happy dance earlier this year when I realized we wouldn't have to buy hay up in Kansas and haul it down here again this year. Now I'm not sure anybody will be able to cut and bale with all the pastures being under water! Aaargh! Looking at the bright side though, when we want a fish fry, we just walk out on the front lawn and herd a bunch of catfish up into the driveway and scoop 'em up (our stock tank comes out of it's banks with every rainfall now). Let's see if I can post this video clip...

I forgot to add that the video was taken on the lawn in front of our house. Tartar sauce anyone?
