I bet we got close to an inch, but thats the first rain we had had since two days before the pig roast I think.

I think I've had less then 3" since the end of April or early May.
That was mostly in 2 or 3 storms.
East of here was getting dumped on a lot the begining of summer, I didn't get hardly anything.
Couple weeks ago my parents had a heavy storm that took down parts of trees in the neighborhood..........5 miles North, I had sunny skies.
It's odd when they are showing on radar that you will get hit in a couple hours and you think of all the stuff that you have been leaving outside without worry of it getting wet. You then go out and pick things up and ..................... no rain! :

Rain is now out of the forcast for another week.

Jeff Did you give it a good workout yet? Running good? The pulse hose to the fuel pump will always be wet, same as the oil cap or inside of the crankcase as that's where the air is coming from to run your fuel pump. Most likely there was a speck of dirt in the carb that you got out. Steve

Still not right. I'll change carbs now.

I ran the mill yesterday and cut to small red pine logs. Mill ran BAD while cutting. THis morning I went out and changed the carb. I checked the oil and the level was good, but I think I detect the smell of gas. I tried to start it, No fire. Acted flooded. I pulled the plug on the front side of the mill and it looked good, I pulled the plug on the back side and it looked good but wet. So, I decided I would crank the engine a couple times with the plug out. GOOD DANG thing I didnt have my face any closer. Must a blew at least an once of gas out. Either that gas got in there last night after we shut it down, or it accumulated in the last cut or so when the engine felt like it was running on one cylinder. You would think it would get sprayed out the exaust, but I guess, as liquid, how can it? Muffler goes straight up.

As soon as I blew that stuff out of the cylionder and put the plug in it fired right off. I am going to go out and saw another log in a bit. Hope its better. Dont know what else it could be now if it aint. Different fuel pump and different carb.

Well, for all of those who are wishing for rain......hmmm...... come and get some. We have had by far more than needed. 95% of the crops here are still out in the field and we have yet been able to pick them up. On a normal year we would be nearing the 60-75% finished point but not this year. We can't even swath alot of the crop that is in the low spots cause they is full of H2O. In the past month or so we have had atleast 15 inches of the wet stuff. Getting kinda depressing. Especially when our barley that should have went malt is now only of feed grade because it has sprouted.
