We have had almost 3 inches of rain here in the last 24 hours, lets hope we get a break! My camera is ready.

Got to see the little bit that we were able to in Ohio, at around 6:00PM last night. People driving by probably wondered why that weirdo was standing out in the field, wearing a welding helmet.

Thanks for the heads up!
