Holy Toledo, I thought the rain was slacking off and was going to let the other 4 coops of chickens out. It started coming down in sheets. I don't know how much rain we've had because I went out to the gauge yesterday afternoon and since there was only an inch in it I decided not to dump it. Last time I went out it was overflowing so that is 5"+ since about 4PM yesterday.
I have 7" copper gutters, 8X13" conductor head and 6" round downspouts with debris shedding discharge on the downspout. Everything is overflowing.

I'm glad I'm on the top of a hill. There are streams running off in every direction.

Was wondering how you & Dax were making out. Glad you're alright. Good luck.

I think she had some tough weather but she's not getting any rain now. I'm OK. Just a bit wet. We had about 2 hours without rain yesterday and perhaps will get some dry time this afternoon but I doubt the baseball game will be played. Yesterday's game was cancelled early.
I don't plant myself in a valley unless I have a canoe. Around here, if you're smart, you don't build anywhere near a stream.

There's a lot more heading toward both of us but hopefully it won't be as severe. It should be dry by this time tomorrow. Chance of sun on Tuesday and then 3 more days of rain.

I need to get one of those phone scope mounts. Try holding a gun and a phone in the right spot is difficult. Could have got a good video of it pouncing on mice on high power if I had the mount.
My chickens are usually in this field.

I can only see 2 images. The first looks suspect, the second also looks like it did not develop.
As for the last - if you think you see a blood ring you probably did.
Check them again in a few days.
I usually don't check the others again, just lock down on day 19 and wait.
 
The guides had those in Manuel Antonio park in Costa Rica. I was able to get good pictures of sloths, caiman, howler and spider monkeys and lots of very rare secretive birds like Toucans and eagles.
