Awwww, poor @greybeard!! That is funny, though.

I think you should go stalk @greybeard @Rammy, he needs the ego boost

Don't worry about me @Senile_Texas_Aggie, I'm pretty oblivious to things happening around me, never noticed you were stalking

 

[Rammy]

I dont think @greybeard would like my skinny ugly self stalking him. Im not that good at it anyway.

Poor @greybeard : I think his ego got a little puncture in it when his wife found out it wasn't him that was being stalked, but his electric meter

 

[greybeard]

Well, don't worry much about my ego....I've always been a pretty humble guy anyway. Comes with title I guess..

@Bruce; I was looking at our projected weather maps and it really does look like it is going to stay in the lower third of VT for the rain. Sorry, you are pretty far north aren't you? Sure wish we could send some of this up there. We are supposed to get 3 days of sun starting Tues aft or Wed then thunderstorms, showers etc again starting on Sat...... It is getting old yet I think of all the ones in Tx and Ks and the four corner states that have had horrific drought for months on months and even years, and you hate to complain about rain.

@farmerjan I saw that Richmond has been getting hit pretty hard but I'm guessing that isn't hitting anywhere near you yet.

Richmond is at the opposite side of the state. I am in the Shenandoah Valley, along I-81, between Staunton and Lexington Va. I-64 goes east from Staunton to the coast, Richmond and points east, Williamsburg; and west from Lexington towards WV. We have the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Alleghanies to the west. Sometimes a storm will come right up the valley, but if it comes from the east the Blue Ridge's will mitigate alot. We are more affected by the storms that come up from Roanoke VA. There is alot of flooding down that way, but it will go down fast as the rains move out. It is the NC and SC people who have absolutely been innudated. We are on the backside of it now, and we actually were very fortunate to not get any torrential rain for any long length of time. Our problem was being so wet all summer that it has had very little place to go and nowhere to soak in before becoming a problem. It's been an annoyance for us, not a huge problem; some downed trees, minor mudslides and high water road closings in some places.

Poor @greybeard !

BTW there ARE still tadpoles in the muck pool. We are SUPPOSED to get an inch of much needed rain tonight. I seriously doubt it will happen given the radar says all but some spittle is running south of us.

I think you need to put some BIG water haulers in the FEL and add a couple hundred gallons to the tadpole hole. TSC has them and you can add the hose fitting at the bottom.
