We've had the driest spring, summer, early fall I can ever remember. 3 weeks or more w/o rain then maybe a 30 minute hour shower, then repeat.

Last week I clear an area to put up an out building, build up the pad, my concrete guy is scheduled tomorrow, and it's been raining for two days and is forecast to continue for the next 6!

Send some of that rain out our way, will ya? Our wildfire crews could really use it.

I'm sorry to hear that, Expert. Nothing worse than drought.

The stream had almost stopped flowing, there was still water but very low. And the pond was getting a little low too. Ground was hard as a rock

TBH I'm glad we finally got some good rain it's just my luck that it's coming at this very time. The concrete trucks are going to make a mess of that section of yard now.

Yeah that's always the way, isn't it? It's been finally cooling off over the last week or two. Today it'll be back up to 90, but down again tomorrow. Hopefully today will be the last 90+ day for the year. No rain in the forecast yet, but cooler temps will help some.

Good luck on your project.

Thanks, I'll probably need it.

I rode out to Oregon in late June early July and ironically the only rain I ran into the whole trip was in Idaho up through Sun Valley!

Yeah, the only rain we've had this summer has been the occasional thunderstorms, which are why we have the fires. I lived in Oregon (Portland area) for 45 years until I retired 2 years ago. I couldn't get out of there fast enough because of the liberal woke politics.
