Good Morning.
Coffee time

I think this is my favorite time of day.

When my ladies are at the pin cushion stage, I relax the "no sleeping in the nest boxes!" rule. They must be pretty uncomfortable.

I normally do too, but not when she's hauled three pooping chicks in there with her.

Cooler yesterday, 85 instead of 90, but still humid.
Wasn't great but good enough to keep windows open all day to catch the breezes.

Garage is slowing draining/drying out, might not have to shop vac at all.

Good morning and thanks for the coffee! Cooler here today (70F) with theoretical rain this afternoon.
Enjoy the day, Café!

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. Expecting another scorcher here today - went to the club early and worked one dog. Bad storms here late yesterday afternoon have knocked out power to many. Luckily for us most damage was to the North of us. Prolonged outages expected as telephone poles are snapped and many trees down on the power lines.

Rip Roaring storm last night...continuous thunder and lightning.
Enough rain heavy and fast enough to flood the garage.
No 90° days, and a few 50° nights, in the 10 forecast.
Ahhhh.

Under-run stayed dry but lots of erosion paths in the rest of run.
The drain pit is clogged, not sure how or if to fix it....but it's on my mind, could end up being some semi-major reconstruction.
Not sure I am up to it.

What is the possibility of a French drain?

Cafe good afternoon one and all!

Tea is ready and I'm enjoying a cup of Chai French Vanilla.

Temperature is in the 90s sunny and 70% chance of rain.

Have a great day!

What is the possibility of a French drain?

None. I've been dealing with this for 25 years, there are few things in place that help, but if it rains too much too fast the garage gets standing water. Luckily the garage is a foot lower than the house proper so no damage is done, all the stuff in garage is up on pallets.
