Thanks David. Say howdy.
I do miss the simplicity of fishing.

Went to bed with a boom and a downpour.
Woke up to same and the generator starting up. Something got zapped.

Hoping to get mud poured this morning. Without the bolts...lightning. I have the plate bolts.
Might clear up some Sun. before next round.

Another storm building off Cortez Bank heading to HI.
A cell down the coast of Mexico building and expected to buzz up the coast to Baja as a hurricane.
Round 2 starts next week.

Dennis said road to end of road neighbor is impassible, for EMS. Need to get it fixed.
Hunt camp down the valley dark this morning, so maybe a dozer appears at sunrise.
Between hunts. He said he would be here.....................LOL.
Do I get a years work done in a week or do I plod long til spring?

Weather channel just reported a hiker in UT hit by lightning.

Be safe out there!

Glad NM is getting some water and The Butte really needs some. Has the Catwalk survived this year?

In 2 days of rain we got .69 of rain. It went in the ground not much run off so far we've found. That will help the area and critters to get this kind of rain.

Man I sure wish I could get some rain. The pastures I have cows on haven't seen rain since early June and I have been feeding hay since mid August. Way to early for that.

YeHaa...El Paso to Omaha!

Started at 4pm steady to just now. Heavy at times. No deluges.
Here at my place. Elsewhere not so lucky...lotta red on the radar last night east of here.
Like a coastal front coming in.
Uh,it's still raining.

1st band.

A little mood music ......

Good soaker here. Puddles , no flows.

 

[Chama Grande]

It's been pouring up north here for days and the Rio Grande tribs are barely trickling. Soils in the hills are finally getting a drink

Also I can't believe that earlier photo of 16A, maybe my November deer tag won't be as dry as I thought!

Got an inch at my house since yesterday evening, light rain right now. The Butte has risen a foot in the last few days, but we need a lot more and the forecast looks to be fizzling out somewhat now.
