It has finally came a good rain here at home. It started with heavy rain and wind around 7:30 and is still raining. Looks like 2 inches in the gauge. Sweet corn is flat on the ground, but we really needed the rain. Oh, it washed all the dust off the old gals.

Yep George, it is headed your way! we had it off and on all day. Just about 4-6 miles up the road was black as night 3 times in a row and thunder for 3 hours straight it seemed. We got a couple downpours but mostly a light rain. Be glad they will come through at night and not be as strong. I just hope there isn't a tree sitting on my M. It is still down in the woods. They got it bad over that way.

Bob, we are having run off now and more to come. Almost 2 inches and 3/10ths in the gauge. We needed it though. Grass was getting in bad shape. Corn isn't very good either, but may make it now. Tobacco looks pretty good. It will jump by leaps and bounds now. I layed the ammonium nitrate to it a couple days ago. We had quite a bit of wind before dark, but has settled down some now.

Our corn here is funny, some guys got it in early and then the rains hit and delayed the other fields by a couple/3 weeks. We have corn almost going to tassle and some that is chest high. The early planters have some water stressed corn in low spots and the late planters don't seem to have that. If it keeps going like it is with the rain coming once in a while and good sun we should have a bunch of smiles at harvest time around here. I am sure in Owen county where my M is they got over 2 inches today and it is hill country. I just hope my road repair held! Had the creek bypass the culverts, cut through the bank and run down the road washing out a 30 ft long stretch. Had to put rip rap down and #2 on top. That creek upstream from thwe road stays damp most of the summer but a heavy rain will turn it into a white water river quick! down stream it flows slow all year because there is a dandy spring there. I read the post on the other board about the easment problem you have. I know what you mean, The road I am talking about is an easement and a half mile long just to get to the corner of Dads property. The land that the easement goes down has new owners so we are taking things slow and easy with them.

Bob, we ended up with over 3 inches. Some washing in places. Lots of small limbs down. It is still spinkling a little off and on. Which Owen county are you referring to?

Owen county Indiana. I live straight west of there about 30-40 miles or so or a 3 hour M ride! The town I live in is Hymera. Old coal mine town that was big at one time but shrank to about 700 people. I need to go bring the M and boom back here, but hate to with tire wear and road wear and all. I have a 41 H frame and rear end sitting on my trailer with only rear wheels and no way to get it off. I need to take the trailer to Owen county and load poplar logs for the barn loft so I need the M and boom there for loading but can't take the H frame there (Dad will have a cow!), Ahh stuck in another fine mess! I may just say the heck with it and drive her back here today.
