I am ready for the new season. I have a new trailler and ztr. My spring clean ups are done now I need rain. I wish some of the excess rain, in the south, could head up this way.

You guys can send it all to NJ!!! We need 10" (of rain) by end of April to unload the evil mandatory drought restrictions in our region. It has been raining as normal for this time of year the past 2 weeks - but we need a lot more. Hoss - we'd gladly like to use a boat in our back yards for a few days:cool:

still pouring have gotten about .9" for the day, almost at 3" for the month. i think im gonna drown if i go out there :-) who knows what normal rainfal is for the month?
We got rain dumped on us a couple days ago, it flooded out several roads and shut down the water filtration plant in a nearby town, the creeks got higher than they'd been in years. We could still use more!
Talk about a mess, we had to dig up a water line today, MUD!

I wish there was some way to transfer this moisture. We have had about 4" since since Octomber. We have some warm weather but no rain. The grass is not growing. Last year, I had already been mowing for two weeks, before now.
It has been raining cats, dogs, and hawgs here for the last three days. 4" yesterday!
I wish I could share it with you guys up north.
Well, gotta go...need to finish mounting the pontoons on the Lazer and get busy. :)

Mike we have received when so much that the ground swishes when you walk on it. Be careful what you wish for. It finally stopped today, two days after I started on the arc.

we got rain for the first time in about a week today and did it rain, we had about 2'' in about an hour here in the south. I just turned my big shop fan on to blow it out of here, maybe it will send it your way. :blob2:

Don't even get me started on the rain. Would love to trade locations with any of you as far as the rain is concerned. And to boot, it hasn't stopped snowing in 3 days.
After the snow is gone, my buddy and myself are thinking about building some big wooden boat, you know to help the animals.

We got an inch or so or rain yesterday. Now we're only 14" below normal. The weather experts now say we have to have 150% of a normal year to get to where we should be. Yea right...like that's gonna happen.
been working thru it but too soggy today. makes the season look good tho.
