We've had a little rain here, too.

I think my boat and dock are the only ones still where they are supposed to be. Everything else is tied up to shore. Moving everything out as the water, ever so slowly, recedes.

Hay prices are high, not much available. Yesterday I paid $350 a ton for first cut mixed grass. Some old dried out, brown alfalfa went for $550 a ton. Hopefully second and third cuttings go better.
 
Where does she watch for air fares?
I really haven't asked her. I used to visit MLT vacations that always had last minute seat sales when they had planes on their charter routes that weren't full. The closer it got to the flight, the cheaper it was.
Amtrak has the same thing for train fares. When I worked in Kansas City I got tired of driving both ways each week so I parked a car at the Kirkwood, MO train station and another at the Lee's Summit station. Parking at Union Station in both St. Louis and Kansas City is expensive but free at Kirkwood and Lee's Summit. Those stops also make the trip shorter on both ends. Checking their last minute deals, I sometimes got incredibly cheap rates and upgraded to first class. A cushy reclining seat and a phone charging port at my seat. I'd sleep most of the way there and back. Beats the hell out of a 5 hour drive.
I think Apple vacations and a couple others do the same thing but the deals aren't as good. Any airlines that fly out of St. Louis I would check for fare sales. I think that's what she does too. When Icelandic started new routes, they had huge sales, as did Frontier. American, Northwest and Southwest occasionally have big sales. Icelandic used to have a deal on trips to Europe that allowed free stopovers in Iceland for any length of time.
