    Hopefully, just enough to stop the News folks from talking about the "drought" here in Texas... :)

    Too much here! We had a bathroom full of water when our skylight decided to spring a leak. I guess I'll be on the roof this weekend. Anyone live close to Garland that has a tall ladder I can borrow?

    That'll happen the day they stop telling us it's gonna be cold in the middle of winter...



    Or that'll be hot in the summer...

    Or that it's wet when it rains...

    Or that the Post Office is busy April 15th...

    I'm pretty sure I passed through every dropplet of rain driving back from Houston last night. Sooo glad I have a metric ton of risidual Rain-X on my windscreen.

    And it sure helped to get all of the pollen off

    I live in Rowlett. I have an extention ladder that can get you up to the roof and more. I'll be home most of the day tomorrow. But you need a pickup to carry it home. PM me if interested.

    We got a good soaking, I hadn't cleaned the gutters yet so water decided to find another rout inside my back door.
    I got up on the roof yesterday to clean the gutters.
    Now on to the leaves in the yard.

    I’m a man, but I can change. If I have to, I guess.

    I have a very level yard and there was standing water in several spots. It's still squooshie. Where do you live? I saw a 10 AE yesterday on University and Old North, which is right by my house.
