Mr. Jogeephus-

[Beefy]

Yolanda Amadeo was saying something while ago about soaking rains saturday and sunday. that woman has done fell off of her rocker!

 

[Jogeephus]

That woman has cost me a small fortune. She'll say less than 30% and we'll cut hay and it'll rain. She said 70% chance of rain so I sprig bermuda - 7 weeks later still no rain. But you know the odds are in her favor now. Maybe it will rain. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and then. :lol:

Don't you know that the higher the percentage, the less likely it will happen when it comes to the weather? :lol: :lol:

Weather liars have it made. If anyone else screwed up that often they'd be fired! :lol2: I think I missed my calling.

i do have an interest in metorology, and bein a storm chaser would be fun too. they get paid a crap ton to tell people what the weathers gonna be like and half the time they aint even right. and every station you tune into has something different.

 

[Jogeephus]

Well, I gotta hand it to Yolanda. Seems she missed the rain but she got it right about it being smoky today. :roll:

 

[Susie David]

Great line of employment....only have to be right less that half the time and still keep your job.

I look at the sattelite immages and make my own decisions...having a cronie that retired from the Nat Weather Service helps too...course he's worng pretty much of the time too.

praise the Lord and yolanda amadeo, i just got 7/10ths of rain!!!!!!

she dang sure was right about the smoke. it was just a miserable day. it was like we were surrounded by fire all day. sure hope yall get some rain out of this. should be over there right about now.

 

[Jogeephus]

Good deal Beefy!!!! We got from 6/10ths to nothing depending on where the gauge was. The newly sprigged field got 1/10th of a 1/10th. This makes 8 weeks with no measurable rainfall. It is going to be interesting to see how long sprigs can last without water. I am definitely losing my tail this year and am about to get depressed.

That's horrible...I'm so sorry.

that is sad. but what doesnt make sense to me is that we got 7 and a half inches of rain last saturday and sunday and people starting planting again tuesday. after all the flooding you would think it would be awfully muddy. i hope ya'll start getttin some rain.

Beefy
I know you are just east of me a little bit and we got 2 inches saturday night and THANK THE GOOD LORD... Some Idiot started a woods fire sunday night in a head that connects to our back 40. If not for the rain saturday everything around us would have went up in flames.
