Sound like use last year. Our local lake was 13 feet below normal. This year is a hole other story. We are 14 in. over normal rain fall. It has rained 5 out of the last 7 days. It is impossible to take the cobra out in the evenings for all the late afternoon showers. On the other hand I haven't used my sprinklers once this year to water the grass. I guess I can use the money I saved on my water bill to buy cobra parts.

Uh Mike, I don't know how to break this to you other than just come out direct and say it... dude, you live in Arizona. Everyone KNOWs that Arizona is all desert!

Not much rain here in the midwest either ... but we make up for it with liquid air (humidity)!

Mike,
I'd be glad to send you the clouds that have ingratiated our area.
Last week we had 8" of rain one day followed by another 4" the following day. With the exception of the Spring Fling, we haven't had a dry weekend all year. We went for a cruise last Friday, left with clear blue skies and a neighbor that just purchased a Lone Star, and 45 minutes later, we were seriously baptized. The look on our friends faces was priceless but this wet weather is causing patients to grow webbed feet and is getting old!

Hi Dan how's the working half?

Yes, the weather for the fling was great. Much better than last years heat and humidity. Last year I could not wait to get home to cool off.

Our monsoon season has started but no rain yet. They say by the weekend. Then it's 1/2 inch in 5 minutes.
