Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning Everyone. 70° and thunderstorms again this morning. OK, this is enough, four days in a row that I have gotten up to thunder, lightning and rain. The sound of grass growing is almost as loud as the thunder. Flash flood warning has returned.
How about a non-traditional breakfast this morning Flo. A sliced brisket sandwich and some potato salad should hit the spot.
Thanks for the reactions and likes yesterday regarding the layout progress; Guy, Chad, Jerome, Garry, James, Sherrel, Patrick, Phil, Curt, Tom, David.
I started cleaning up the used car lot yesterday. When I built it, I added an interior to it.
I put a new billboard on the roof to replace the old one that had completely faded and fallen off.
This structure will be getting interior lighting.
Curt - My pond normally doesn't have any mosquitoes. They breed in stagnant water. My pond doesn't fit into that category. Between the bullfrogs, turtles and occasional ducks, they remove all of the eggs, as well as the algae that the larvae need to feed on. Cannot say the same for the standing water in the ditches along the road though.
David -
Here are a couple of shots of that happening in June 2019. Compare this picture with the one posted yesterday to see the difference.
Here was some of the water running into the pond that day, going through the drainage sluice. The levee on the left is normally about 18" high
That was the day that I posted this picture of part of the front yard where all of that overflow was going by.
Mikey - You're right that activity here has been pretty minimal recently.
It appears that the thunderstorm has moved on and there is just a light rain now. Only 0.35" in the gauge so I may not have to pump water out of the pool this morning.
Have a great and safe day.

Spillway on the opposite side usually takes care of that. Very occasionally the runoff from my hayfield and neighbor's pasture uphill will cause everything to be overwhelmed and the water might (only happened twice) run over the top of the surrounding levee, but it channels itself away from the train shed and house.I hope the ponf has a lower drainage than your train she'd
