Good morning folks. It is 70º with light rain here today. Maybe some strong storms later this afternoon. We must have had a shower come thru at the house yesterday because when I got home, the grass was soaked. Obviously, I didn't get my mowing done. Probably won't be dry by tomorrow either.
We're having the 2nd wettest year on record here, after 1972. And '72 was high because of Hurricane Agnes. We haven't had any tropical storms this year to add to the total. We are within an inch or two of setting a record. Unfortunately, all this rain is going down river and really screwing up the Bay. Floodgates are open and lots of debris and mud are entering the Bay. It's like chocolate milk. I was going to try to get down fishing Labor Day weekend, but it looks like I might as well just put the tarp on the boat and forget it.
The good news is, we're getting close to bow season. I took the opportunity to pull the bow out, wax the strings and shoot a little. First time since I had my eye surgery. Did pretty good out to 30 yards. Further was a little rough, but I don't usually shoot that far anyway.
Well I guess I need to get busy. Prayers offered. Have a good one!
Charlie
