Rain, Rain

[Rob (IL)]

It's raining today and predicted to be the same tomorrow. I got out to the local school yard yesterday. The grass was so high all my finds were reading 9 - 12 inches deep because of the height of the grass. You could see the grass had been cut recently. I'm cutting my yard twice a week now or it looks like a hay field when I cut it. This has got to be one of the wettest years I can remember. The woods are completely grown over already so this type of hunting will probably have to wait until the fall.

I'm sitting here bored, not wanting to do any useful work. From the number of posts lately many of you must not be getting in much hunting time either. I guess I'll go charge my batteries. HH Rob

The weather has a lot to do with why I have not been out, but yard work comes into play as well. I told my wife that as soon as I get the deck painted I was going mding all weekend. She just smiled and walked away. Now she has me wondering why she was smiling. HH Dennis in Idaho

I hear you guys, I've been redoing the basement and the yard work is next.

Galesburg got 8.5 inches of rain today and it looked like it was heading Nancy's way. It rained all day but the big rain missed us so far. I hope it missed her too. Rob

Rob, I just got back from New Zealand & it didn't rain that much there & they get 180" a year. But I do feel for ya as I have to put up with snow for 5 months & if I want to go hunting I have to go south. Keep your chin up, it will happen.

I knew we shouldn't have sold our boat! It's been raining here also Rob. Two days ago we had over 2" and today the same. Our basement has water in it, but that's the norm around here. Two pumps and one gave out. Larry had to make a quick trip to Menard's. No hunting that we can see in the near future, but lots of places with possibilities. We'll keep in touch! Nancy

Sorry Nancy, I hope to have my basement done next week. We will get together. HH Rob
