Well If I dont get water in my house this time, I never will. We have gotten over 22 inches of rain in 24 hours. Called in and let some other guys have the overtime for tonight. Rode the 4 wheeler around the county roads just to see how the neighbors are fairing. We have water over the road in places that I have never seen it. Hay will be a problem this year because my friends hay fields are completely under water.
About 35 years ago, when I was 12 or 13, after a day of working cows. My grandpaw and I were riding our horses back home instead of putting them in the trailer. These times were usually used as teaching moments for.him. When Paw had us 1 on 1 you could bet that he was going to give his advice or his opinion on something. When we got to the church house at the end of the county road, he stopped and turned his horse south. Now Paw always rode tall horses. He said, now Sandy, I have seen water up to a tall horses belly, from here to as far as I would ride him. So dont ever build a house down there because it was there before and it will be again one day. If this storm would have come a little farther east I would have witnessed that wisdom first hand. As it is right now, I havent missed it by much.
