It's Fucking RAINING!!

Make a rain turtle!! I used to work outside and when it rained we couldn't get equipment wet...so we'd draw rain turtles with spray paint or whatever, and try to bring the rain so we could go home.lol

im dancing for you

I think your brain has dried out also.

Im in Houston right now, and its raining

I nominate this post for post of the week.

As an EX Roofer, we would spray a circle on the roof, & when a certain amount of drops would fall inside the circle, we would "roll it up". What the fuck is a rain turtle? Is it some Religious cult, like the Ningia Turtles, or the Box Turtle Type. I like Loggerhead, w/soup & rice.

LOL...we did that to. The first drops of rain sent us to the truck..then wwe'd make a circle on the windshield and count the drops hitting it..the rain turtle is just a scetch of a turtle..duno who the f came up with it...but it worked(when there was rain in the forcast!)

There are times I miss being on the roof, seeing a view that homeowners will never see, the breeze when none could be bought or paid for. I done mostly Tile, then mid weights to heavies, "Timberline". How many Fat Roofers you ever seen? Fuck the diet, get out there & bust some grapes!!! Peace.That turtle thing is interesting, but we damned sure wasn't sitting in the truck,... counting drops. Putting cap on in Austin, no safety shit, down below, I seen buzzards flying below me, fucking beer sweat pouring. I miss those days.

ZEKE! Where the hell have you been???
ST, you trip me out sometimes.

Ive been chillin babe....but im back 4 now.....My better half told me I spend too much time trying to be a whore on here

Thanks a lot! Been seeing your post. And then there is the critics.... Human nature prevails once again, whether it be informative or in the almost up-right position. It seems our culture has to juggle all aspects therein. Thanks for the support of Humanity people. Let's jump into the stone casting arena, and write a bit about something. Get your feet wet as opposed to snideness & cowardliness.

Oh God, you are going thru the same thing I am: We have had 80 minutes of rain since February - all of it last week. Tropical Storm, a "high ridge system" (whatever the hell THAT is), month after month waiting, praying, going slowly insane, pulling hair out, dreaming rain. Plants - MANY - over 50 - between 3.5 and 5.5 feet,

I had to give away my chickens - one died from heat exhaustion - so I gave the other 7 to neighbors who can afford to build an air-condtioned COOP for them - egg-laying was too laborious for them...

I've got wild hogs too - all over my property, and DEER searching for water, and snakes.

My 5 month old puppy got hit in the eye with a raindrop and thought I was sneakily bathing him - he had never seen rain.

Today we're supposed to get 1-2 inches and again tomorrow.

We NEVER get rain.

YES, hauling gallons jugs every single day, arranging the outside hoses to CUT THRU an acre so I don't have to exhaust myself.

110 Heat index, sweat is the only liquid hitting the ground.
and - whenever Weather is shown - the radar - we look like we're getting a pileup - but NADA. ZILCH. ZIP. ZERO

I am looking so forward to the next 2 days.

Two hurricanes, max plants, 5 ft. tall. 16 drops of rain since never! For the first time since birth, several months ago, the Ladies & newly spouted Babies is getting some rain!!! Temps up to 101, low's 78, hauling water daily. All the native plants are dying, Camels passing out. People with turbans on their head steadily begging for water. Wild Hogs carrying pick-axes to break ground. It's been fucked- up. Poots are dusty, and the BB-Q pit needs no heat to cook whole Turkeys. My chickens has dehydrated down to one wing & leg. Easy to catch, but need 20 to gnaw on for a balanced meal. My iceberg Lettuce is a fire starter, and the potatoes is already baked when dug out of the ground. Thank God I used sour cream as a fertilizer. Wild hogs pitched a bitch when rooting into my potatoes, claiming lactose intolerance shit.
Got 40 rain drops thus far, hoping for more. Radar says I'm drowning & my dogs are scared of some alien matter falling from the sky. Shoot me a rain dance People, a shake of the bootie here & there. But don't troll for queers on my account.. walking down the sidewalk backwards! It just ain't right! Peace.

Can you believe this shit, Sherry! My babies is 1/2 mile away... I have to take water & a picnic basket for my dogs when I go. Sorry about the chickens. Can you wet down a composted area for them. Do not feed them in the daytime. One way to keep them from freezing is to feed them prior to the coldest time. Heat?, after it cools a bit. It's the price to pay for BarBQuing in Tee-shits around Christmas, while the Yanks- North of Dallas- makes snow cones for a living. Got a sprinkle so far, but a cell is heading this way... I've got about 45, most are budding. I'm working on a plant IV.

Along with being the Queen of Fans, I am Expert in Hose-joinery. Anyone wanna know the best way to work 1500' of hose? Just call me.

Possible thunderstorms are predicted for the Sierra, but I don't even see clouds forming. Last time it actually happened we watched the rain fall from the clouds, and never touch ground.

If I decide to up the ante next year I might have to give you a call. Less than ten plants are kicking my ass this year, and they're within walking (read: hiking) distance!
