Beer, Jim. Lots of Beer!

The water that was turned off was untreated farm water from San Luis Reservoir. The property used to be a 300 acre farm and this is legacy water rights. I have a well for the house, but it'd probably kill the well pump to try to water those big lawns. Besides, if the drought is really that bad I need to do my part- sad as it is.

So true. I stopped watering my rose bush months ago. I have no grass to speak of, just dirt, so the only thing suffering is the rose bush. I have a cactus in the back and a tree on the west side, and I have not watered them in months either. Don't know how the tree stays alive.

Finally some rain here! We've got a little over .5 inches today. Hopefully it keeps up for a while.

Keep up the rain dance Rick
Come to think of it I recall hearing we were due for a bit today, just seem to get enough the last two sprinkles to dirty our trucks.

Good Morning NorCal...Wow! It rained all day yesterday, and half the night last night. I'd bet we got about 1 1/2". Hopefully the northeastern part of the state got as much. This should take care of most of those hot spots still smoldering from the Lodge fire.


Guess I should start tightening things up here in preparation for a wet winter...I hope.

Hello fellers, weekend is so close I can smell it! Hopefully have this cab job all boxed up and ready for door delivery on Tuesday.

Has anyone else got a PM about winning an "End of Summer giveaway"? asked for my address to ship winnings, but shouldn't that be in membership application info?? or am I just a paranoid android?

Hope it keeps raining!

I was going to ask you about that, but I guess you don't know either.

Much cooler down here too, wind is blowing pretty good. Even turned off the swamp cooler because it was getting cold in here.

It's a new feature being tested/tried by IB. Peeps with a 3 year paid supporting status get that gold Club FTE badge.
