We had 5 days of them. About 4 inches each time. Yes 20 inches of rain in 5 days a week ago and the ground is still soaked. And the forecast is for more. ------------- The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend? |

| Right now, I'd even take a "turd floater" just to get some moisture. Been the strangest year I've seen. Started out dry. The weatherman could say 100 percent chance of rain, and we might get 10 drops. Then it went to raining, which was very nice, and then we'd get two inches on a 10 percent chance of rain. Now we're back to a dry cycle, and the weatherman isn't even giving us an chances of precipitation. Ugh. Darrel |

If it would work, I'd be all for it. .....as long as I don't have to watch. He could just run the snow machine without the compressor running, and that should send rain, not. ....? Darrel |
