    Starting on the 14, we have some rain forecast for this area. On the 14 we have a total of .63, 15 = .97 and on the 16 we have 1.50 forecast, so if Gasifier will be running his new splitter he better get high and dry.

    On the radar
    it looks like a loud wet storm rolling thru pretty fast.

    Not a kite flying day , eh?

    Thankfully nothing serious. There are some roads and ball fields that did though.

    Man it stormed like crazy here from about 1 am on! Seemed like every 15 minutes the thunder woke me up.

    We're suppose to see that weather later today. I'm not sure how AccuWeather does it but I took the rain totals for the day & night starting today thru Friday night, 4.28 inches of rain.

    They backed off on the total rain expected for our area, from just over four inches to just over two.

    :zip: Listen. The only water I want to hear about now is the water in the beer going down the back of my throat after I am done splitting Saturday night!

    I see we are going to get some on Friday, but I have put in a request to the firewood splitting weather gods for it to be done by Friday night and not be too much.

    Saturday morning I have to take care of some things for the wife. Go borrow my brother's tiller and till her garden, move some furniture for her, etc. That will give it time to dry out a little by noonish. I better be splitting wood by then! :mad:

    I'm ready for some splitting, the next two days might be days off but Saturday the rain should be east of us.

    Flash flood watch posted due to only 1"-2" +locally higher amounts possible, but in a 6 hour period. This should be fun!

    Stay dry. Nothing yet for our area, 1.5 inches of rain for tomorrow. I see the Sav has a flood warning for his area, I think Pete has a flood advisory for his area.

    The Brook has been dropping (water levels) so I think it will handle the 1.5, it all depends what chit comes down it with the water.
