OT, Texas Weather, AGAIN

Here at the house South of Fort Worth, we saw the yards, all of them, completely covered in water. Have only seen that twice before here in 20 years we have been here. Tried to go to store for stuff, first route was blocked, flooded. Second way, same thing, tried a third and fourth. All flooded. Finally able to go bout 15 miles out of the way and got through. Saw flooded fields and swollen creeks all the way. But made it over and back no problem.

Course on TV they are showing video of all the idiots that tried the high water crossings and didn't make it.. Stupid, just plain stupid..

Oh well,, thanks to all of you for sending the rain!! :-) And I am NOT complaining at all, it will taper off tonite and end tomorrow.

Oh, rained so hard the satellite internet went out for awhile,, too much run off on the dish...

Here in Garland, just East of Dallas, we are at 14" and climbing for the weekend. I have had to empty the rain gauge twice, and it is almost full again. Since it has been raining all weekend, I took the opportunity to get out in the garage and re-arrainge my shop area. My wonderful wife (who is also an organization expert) helped me make use of almost every inch. Since my shop is one side of a two car garage, I need every inch of space I can get. I am almost ready to start on another tractor now :-)

At least the rain is finally here, the lakes are filling back up again.
