Would You Believe It

Well, another storm rolled through yesterday afternoon and produced another 1.24 inches of rain at my house. It also produced wind gusts from 50 to 70 mph. We didn't experience any damage, but a lot of trees were blown down across town and some power lines were downed. In fact, I was at the gym around 6 pm. The main line had already blown through, and it was just raining very hard. I had just stepped onto the elliptical trainer when the lights went out. I thought about sticking it out, but decided to head to the gym at another location instead. The grass sure looks great and I'm sure the farmers are very happy at this point. The crops sure look good, and estimates now are that they'll experience a record harvest, and grain prices are very high. For what it's worth, it looked like the deck is OK. The stain that I'm using requires a solid 24 hours to dry, but it only made it about 18. But, it was another very hot day today (before the rain arrived) and that probably helped.
