TOPIC: R A I N

For the last 10-15 days and a lot of the spring , that's all we've had!!! Sure wish I could send some out west where they really need it. I think we're 6 or 7 inches ahead for the year.The lake is muddy with floating debris. Got two boats ready to go sitting around watching it rain. Don't get me wrong,I'm usually grateful for the rain 'cause I remember all the droughts,but sure could use a break. just venting,sorry. Soggy in NC

Jim, If its dry on the 20 we will be at Falls Lake State ramp Off NC 50. Come on out and run with us.

Same thing here in GA Jim, trees are starting to topple over with just a little wind because of the soggy ground. I know it's going to take a week or better before all the debris clears from the rivers and lakes around here, they're really a mess right now. We were in a drought for several years, so I know I shouldn't complain about too much rain. Sure would be nice to share it with other areas that need it like you said though! Hoping for clearing skies.......

PS - Sure wish I could afford the trip to NC for your show up there Al, sounds like it's going to be a good one. Plus I think it would be fun to run a GT 150 beside your G-3, might make a great calendar shot or something. Maybe next year.

I'm really thinking about coming over, Al. I'm scared to commit until I see the weather report,LOL. jim

I don't blame you I am tried of being wet as well. This has been a soggy spring boating season so far. I am 2 hours north of Raleigh and we have had nearly a foot of rain more than normal for this time of year.

Here 45 miles NE of Atlanta we got 2 inches yesterday and 2 more today and it's raining now and more predicted in the next 5 days!

Me too. Im just N of Indy and all the rivers and lakes are full, last year we where in drought condition and it was TOOOO hot to go outside, this year has been cold and just rainy. I only mowed my grass 5 times last year, now every friday its 8-10" tall.......

Yeah, my yard has water standing on it....and it's on a good slope lol.Ground is so saturated that it can't absorb any more. If I can't get my yard mowed in the next few days,I'll have to bushhog it.

I just checked the long range weather forecast. The rain here is supposed to clearout somewhere around..... FALL !

This is quite a year ? We went from freezing all spring to spring rain all summer so far !!!!

I feel sorry for the folks around the rim of the Gulf ... 10 to 12 inches of rain in 3 days ? YIKES !!!!
I'd be putting the house on a barge for a while ???

Here in MN we've had a very wet spring so lakes are up and now that we have had some nice warm sunny days, boating is at a premium. Good luck guys on some sun in your future.
