I'm tired of weather forecasts with the phrase "rain, heavy at times"

Seems to be the common mantra for the last couple of weeks. We actually had about 4 dry days early in the week.

I saw the sun yesterday. For about 5 minutes

About the same here and we paid for it with two hours of lightning, 50 knot gusts and downpours.

I seem to be in the Land Between The Rain And Wind here--so far. Yesterday we only had a few sessions of light rain. It did rain hard last night.

I haven't even looked at my skis yet. I've been letting the woodstove stay cold after only a morning burn.
Otherwise, the house is oppressive and sauna like.

I pulled a tick from The Used Dog yesterday. We need a frost.

Rain gauge...as scientific as it gets around here.

I set an empty 2lb red plastic Folgers can on the back deck. I put it there Wednesday morning. It is now full of water.

Anybody know how to convert Folgers to inches?

Metric would be easier to work with.

 

[northmanlogging]

multiply by two MGBs and then devide by 61 and add some sugar...

Well 2.2 lbs of water is equal to 1 kilogram, and 1 kilogram of water equals 1 liter, and one liter is very close to a good old U.S.A. quart.

Bob I hope this helps you out!!!

I think I will have another drink now.:msp_scared:

Don't make me hunt for an engineering book. Please. Sounds like I no longer am in the land between the rains.

My 5 gallon rain gauge may be off a bit. I have caught The Used Dog lifting his leg next to it. :eek2: A dog joke??

Guess the nettles aren't ALL dead yet since I just caught one in the tear duct. ####### OW.

Still windy, still wet.

way back when we first moved out here my step sister (one of many) had to pee... in the woods... she wasn't happy... a year later she moved back to Wyoming...

Cooked two saws yesterday. Both of them were 362's. One was bought last spring and the other one had only 22hrs on it. That will make 5 of them damned things that have died since Oct.

Is there a connecting thread in these failures? What's the weak link, in your opinion? Curious because I may be forced to buy a few in the next year or two.
