Good day all. We got an inch of rain yesterday (when I checked the rain gauge). Came pretty quick 5 hrs. filled up the ditches. Got a wet snow this morning then temps dropped to 27-28 and oh my goodness it turned into ice. Once 7 o' clock hit there was wreck after wreck in Tulsa. I asked the wife what did they think was going to happen when you have a wet road below freezing. I guess since it wasn't frozen and wrecks all over sooner everybody just thought I can drive like my normal dumba$$ self.
It wouldn't be that bad out this morning if it wasn't for the 30mph winds that are going to pick up to 45 later.

I also notice city people may watch the news but don't really pay attention to weather. The wife was talking to a group of friends yesterday at their cooking class and mentioned she wouldn't be there next week and probably going to skip the home school co-op this Fri. Bigger snow coming Fri then single digits next week. She said she wasn't going because of the inclement weather. They said what weather, when, really???.
I really need to fix the 4X4 locking hub in the green truck to get some work done this week. I also need it to set out a round bale TODAY like now. Last time I lined up with the gate stomped on it until I stopped, dropped the bale and romped on it to get out. It's wetter today.
Probably should've posted that in my wittle journal. Ah oh well.

I know you were needing rain, so this was good for that. Not so much for travel & work but, you needed rain! Yeah, snow & ice roads are horrid here -- most have no idea how to drive -- we have it seldom, no practice. I stay home!

Winds are raging here now, getting worse. 35 and increasing 😖. Heavier rain coming with it. Be off shore by morning. 👍. Tomorrow will be "finding things" day 🤷

Four new lambs for us. 2” of rain. A lot of work to do before the single digit temps and ice show up Sunday night. Generator was not installed due to scheduling the crew. Gas fireplace a fail. Gas furnaces can’t be lit manually and Hubbs will be unavailable due to elderly parents who aren’t old and won’t relocate, and nobody fell down or forgot an important appointment or the dog’s name or to put gas in the car or to get groceries. Five more ewes to lamb, heavy coyote pressure. Rooster Cogburn got the El Kabong treatment after flogging me at feed time tonight. He crumpled. Thought he was a goner. Later seen strutting around the pasture. I’ll probably find him crowing next to a pile of dead coyotes in the morning.
For those concerned he can go to the sheep barn for safety. Not that he appears need it. Bastard.
