On April 17th I posted that it was raining heavily and consistently here in Western Oklahoma.
Well it is now May 8th and DITTO THE ABOVE.
In fact it is forecasted to be this way throughout the remainder of this week and possibly well into next week.
Some regions have received as much as a foot of rain just since the BEGINNING OF MAY.
This sounds like a lot but Foss Reservoir is still 12 feet below where it should be and Altus/Lugert is even worse.
It's a similar situation here in California, it will take us *years* of above average precipitation to get us back to where we used to be. I'm not sure what Mother Nature's ultimate plans are, but it would seem that the odds of many years of above average precipitation are very long...
I got my "painting booth" set up earlier this week. A couple of painters drop cloths suspended from paracord lines in the backyard to protect the patio and shield the wind. I've been painting and sanding this week. Well, this morning I woke up to find it very overcast. Checked the forecast, and it called for rain! I had to take everything back down and haul it into the garage. Sure enough, it started raining. Why does it only come when you don't want it? I'm on a very strict painting schedule to be ready for Dairy Aire in a week!
I have a couple of painting and epoxy jobs I want to do outside, or in my garage, but it has been way, way under 70 degrees for about 2 weeks or so here...my only consolation is, it will be hotter than you-know-what here soon, for months, so no worries...I just have to occupy myself in the mean time.
Then urinate on it. It's mostly water but also high in nitrogen. Trees eat nitrogen and wash it down with the evil carbon dioxide. Then, they eat rockets. :horse:
Yes, that seems to be the natural cycle of life...for rockets and trees, at least.
