cats & dogs

raining that is...and windy like 50+/mph winds, and raining.......as you can see from my pic of my backyard...Ahoy!  Fencing down.  Tho, it doesn't really help that the neighbors stacked all sorts of their shit against their side of the fence ie; old tires x2, a ladder that you now can see against their house, and other assorted shit that should've been trashed long ago.  But oh no, lets put it against this weak fencing that Said contractor put in way back in the day.  Yeah, that is a frickingly brillant idea.  Oh well, sour grapes and all.  Oh, and FYI their trash can was upside down in our yard before I took this pic later today.

I do enjoy the rain, I do, but this is pretty Xtreme and I didn't exactly ask for this sorta weather.  I guess today was s'posed to be the largest of the 4 storm systems we are getting.


 We shall see.  It is like someone upstairs decided to unleash all of a sudden.  Like dude!  What the monkey?


 Lets space it out, k?  So the soil, trees, etc., can actually soak it up and use it.  Anyhoooo, B&M, B&M.

On a positive note, got in a good, wet run earlier today.  I put on my oldest trail running shoes.

  The roads and offroads I took were rather soaked.  Like should there be a flood control channel here?  If not, there is one now that I'm trying to cross.   I got my feet and about 1/2 way up my calves soaked before I had ran a 1/4mile or so.  Oh well I got totally soaked and it was fun.   My toes weren't enjoying the hypothermic event so much, but all was good.

Really, again...I DO like the rain.  Tho I am hoping tomorrow and thru the weekend it sorta lets up and dries out a bit.  We at least have to try and fix our fence, helllooooo!!
