Unreal Rain Fall Creating a Slow Down! - The local rivers are at flood stage, due to a massive rainfall late friday night. Local rivers are 3-4 feet out of their banks causing a lot of residential flooding. I'm blessed to be right at the edge of the flooding during these seasonal periods le more...

Mixed Bags, but Beautiful Weather! - You could not ask for better weather, in fact it has been down right beautiful. About the only complaint has been when there are dead calm conditions. No wind equals Gnats this time of year. And without some excellent bug spray, they can drive you of more...
