And here I am complaining about the extra wet year with 11.5" of rain... I've got dirt all over the place that needs some dry washing.

11.5" for the entire year?

Yeah, 11.5", for the year.. Its been a wet one, average is 9.5".

And its came all slow and gentle, usually 2/3 of it is gully washers... Really sinking into the ground and making it damp. Lots of
vegetation, tons of critters and snakes.

I've got 20 acres, and not a single tree over 5 feet, and no lawn mower... This year I had to actually go out and buy a weed whacker.

Completely different world.

Yeah... Maybe someone here could refresh my failing memory here and remind me what this white stuff is that's falling from the sky! The Cerbats are covered in the stuff and I'm wondering about driving conditions going over Coyote Pass. I don't think I'll be going into Kingman today........ This area is SUPPOSED to be DESERT!!!! That's why I moved here! Costa Rica is looking pretty good about now. 8-)

Bout 50 degrees and 2+" of rain here in WI.

Wish it was dry as I need to strip 5 boxes full of plated chinaware before things get cold. If the weather holds till 2016, I might be able to hit the Superior beaches one last time.

:BangHead:I hope the jet stream stay's the way it is so far we've been on the warm side of the storms. Grounds not frozen, saving on heating oil. And Bob what's up with the weed wacker. I got a rider, a pusher, lawn sweeper,and a weed wacker they get used weekly. Oh yea' a snow plow, snow blower and like 8 snow shovels. I wish I only got 11.5 inches of water. But I got GOLD!

"The Smith River at Dr Fine Bridge has potentially broken a historical crest record. The peak crest for December 13th, 2015 was 34.79 feet which places this event as the sixth highest record since 1950. The previous sixth place crest was set back in 1990 when the crest made it to 34.12 feet."

Here's the back yard... No mower necessary, and I even gave my chainsaw away.

I got gold too, there were at least 19 mines up in those mountains, gold was only a by product, but they pulled about 13,000 recorded ounces out. I've pulled some
good gold out of the pile where the septic tank was dug. I pulled a little bit out of the back yard arroyo metal detecting, nothing big, and I think I'm hitting concentrations
of black sand and I've pulled some plus 40's out of the driveway..

The driveway.

Tiny flour out of the holes the dogs dug in the backyard, 4-6 TINY minus 250- pieces per spoonful... And the rocks that came down off the mountain.
In the bigger rocks you can see the quartz go from clear, to white, to yellowish to brown and then to BLACK, the gold seems to be around the black quartz.

I'd rather dig than mow... Then again, I'd also rather drink beer and mow, than have to deal with goat heads.

LOL. Growing up my Dad used to pay us kids a nickle a piece for every one we pulled. In those days that was a small fortune to us kids! (Don't tell him I'd have done it for free so I wouldn't have had to fix flat bike tires so often. He'll want his money back!)

Yeah, I remember goat heads were murder on bike tires. Get off the pavement and you got a flat from those things.

What are Goat heads? Can't say I ever heard of them the only goat heads we've got run around on four legs.
