OT- Just in time

I had bailed some hay this morning and finished about 1:00 this afternoon. I loaded it on the truck and trailer and sent it on to the barn. I left instructions to leave it outside and I would unload it later in the afternoon. I drove on home from the hay field and stopped at the house to eat dinner and do some honey do"s. A couple of hours later and after a shower I decieded to take a quick nap. After 5 minutes I woke up the the impression that I should go unload the hay. I went to the barn and started moving things around to get the hay unloaded. I had baked the bailer under the shelter to start unhooking it (bailing tractor has loader), and all of the sudden I start hearing raindrops on the tin roof. Needless to say I ran to the truck hoping the airbrakes would not be locked and drove the truck and trailer under the barn. The bottom then dropped out for the grand total of 30 seconds.

I went ahead and put the tractor under the shelter and walked home. The humidity was now so high I needed a shower after walking the 1/4 mile home.

Twenty minutes later it settled into a nice shower, giving us 1/2 inch of much needed rain

We had .6 day before yesterday,.5 yesterday. I layed down a bunch of hay today,hoping for the first time this summer that the rain DOES hold off a few days. I've got another 32 acres I'd like to get cut and baled this coming week so I can get a third cutting before I start filling silo.

3rd cutting? Ist one was poor and there won't be second. We can only hope we get some moisture between now and spring to bring the pastures back to something for grazing.

I got an inch and .5 down here and have 15 acres to mow and bale yet. But the baler is down waiting on a shaft to get welded up and turned back down where a bearing wore it down. I'm afraid it learned how to rain again and won't get a big enough window to dry hay when the baler is ready

RayP said he had 2 3/4s yesterday,1.4 I think he said the day before. They had 4 inches up in Cadillac yesterday.
But yea,I think we're in for just some every other day drizzly weather,probably not anything that's gonna amount to a lot,just enough to make it hard to cut hay for a while. Hard to tell,every TV channel has a different forcast.

And every channel has a different forcast hour to hour depending on who is doing the guessing.

We was on the bottom skirt of the storm yesterday. Last two rains were nice and gentle ones that soaked in, so we could go a few more weeks with out now.
