I washed my pick up yesterday

I canceled out Tom's truck washing by finally hanging the rain gutters my wife has been bugging me about. Sorry guys.

I did here a little blip about the possibility of an el nino year in the making. We could sure use it.

We had some rain in the sac valley not much,but enough to settle the dust.At least the girls will get a little drink on their journey to california.

Started in raining yesterday afternoon just as I was finishing putting on feeders.Grabbed the wet gate handle of the fence and got Zapped. Got into the pickup, and turned on the wipers.Thats when I realized the rubber had baked off over the summer.
Anyway its been raining steady here. Hoped it would water the almonds further south.

We are just to the north center of that map. The big concern here is moving bees to a lower elevation before snow makes them inaccessible.Usually use Thanksgiving as the cutoff date.
