Default You can turn off the faucet any time you want

I guess you can say our drought is over. 5'' within a week kind of takes care of the dry spell. Figures August, the driest month of the summer is the wettest. On the plus side I can plug, on the downside it's too muddy to plug

You know you've had to much rain when your diggin in the Dirt but using your Sandscoop instead of your Diggin tool to see what you found. Hope things dry out for ya soon.

Good Luck & HH

Angry I Like Rain

At least it isn't that snow stuff. I don't even want to think about that yet, so forget I mentioned it's coming

Thanks
Leo

We've had just enough rain here in PA to we our whistle. Should be able to get a little hunting in again. The ground had dried hard as a rock over the last month.
