NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

WheeeHa! We got another .99 last night! Might get to see a color other than tan! Maynard, you get any of that, or was it too far south???
 
Drifter-

You son of a gun, you, you're hogging all the rain. :)I have not been to the ranch yet, so don't know. I have to make a run to a job at Garden this morning, so will be a bit before I get back, but sure hope it is 4 wheel drive getting around the ranch today.

So glad you got some rain.:thumbsup:
 
Hey Drifter-

Just in from the Ponderosa and no four wheel drive required. I did have almost 0.20" in the gauge.
 
Better than nuttin I guess, but barely enough to clear the air. Three 100 degree days might reclaim it! Gotta git neked and dance I guess. Worked for me:) Did have some tourists come up blind in the front drive though. Musta been the heat!
 
As a matter of fact I did get naked today---maybe it will rain. I had a 12 volt auto battery on my fence charger that went dead and needed charged. Took it to the shop and charged it, but when I went to put it back on the fence charger, the fence charger didn't work. Got the voltmeter and checked and only 10 volts. Check the water and the end cell is dry, but the others are okay. Add some water and put it back on the battery charger. I go in the shop, tilt it slightly to get my hand under it and pick it up and carry it out. All of sudden my leg is wet and I see the side of the battery is wet. My leg is burning, but the pants aren't smoking like acid usually does. I drop my drawers and head to the house. I see the leg of my briefs are wet also, so I drop them also. I didn't have a change of clothes and underwear at the ranch, so I am washing my pants and undies and drying them. Only went outside a few times to change the water in the yard, so don't know if that qualifies for 'neked rain dancing'.

:D:D

I have a skunk story from my childhood that I won't tell today, but that was another day I spent some time(all day) outside the ranch house, butt naked.
 
Oh, failed to mention what I did while I was waiting for my pants and undies to dry other than change the yard water a time or two. I have been needing to match some of my shed antlers up. I need to get some leather laces and tie my matched sets together. Had a few that had never been washed, so that took my time. One thing nice about the ranch, it is private, so what happens at the ranch stays at the ranch.
 
I am hoping I got some rain this evening. I was leaving the ranch about 8PM and a heavy storm was coming at me, but the closer it got, it started parting like God parted the Red Sea. Checking the radar it looks like a fast moving one might have passed through.

Did not have a wide enough lens to catch the brilliant double rainbow at Ft. Dodge Cemetery and the rain was coming right at me.

as youngsters and mighty hunters- brother and I were on the attack with our pocket knives- this slow moving black with something like a white strip seemed good for a stalk-

Got the John Deer mower out this weekend- 1st time since last summer- shocking that the little rain we've gotten made this stuff just take off- took me two days to mow the 6 acreas
 
I have been missed again. Water in the ditches a half mile away. A few drops in the rain gauge and you could tell on the ground there was a light sprinkle.

I'll keep waiting.
 
The first tourists are just now regaining their sight! I guess I should have danced through the archery shoot yesterday!!! That'd have filled the gutters:)

you can come out here any day you wish- you can dance without any clothes on- you bring rain- I'll charcoal Ribeye steaks and bell peppers-
I'll turn a water sprinkler on just for you- you might have some company- the Britt's seem to like water

ahhh- put one arround a disobedient's ankle- and have that one stand in 11" of water- you might see some real dancing- would welcome it if it brought rain-

I saw an old man- hands raised- right in the middle of a brown field-
what was he thinking- no way would I walk out to question him-
he might be able to bring down the rath of GOD- and although quite lucky-
I have no desire to be hit with a bolt of lightning
 
Looks like we are back to the evening storms again. Have had them the last 5 days. Just had a weather alert of a tornado and tennis ball sized hail across the border. Storm tracker has it headed right for us. I have not been to the lake for the last several weeks due to the storms.
