Anyone else sick of it? I've had enough for the year all ready. Slows down work, can't keep up with the lawn. And worse of all my septic field is flooded, and my tank keeps backing up. Had it pumped the other day and as fast as they could pump it out, water was running back in from the field filling it up. Ended up taking two trucks of water out of it. Now with all this rain I should be back in the same mess in about a week. I need a week or so of good hot dry weather to dry things out. Rant over.

That sucks Troy. My buddy had to have the septic guy out last week because the alarm kept going off. Ended up just the float was stuck. It's the house I was living in, that creek came up over the banks and that entire yard was under water. Some of those cinder blocks from the fire pit were found 30 yards away and that garden I made was under for a couple days. Glad I didn't end up planting it. I'm sick of the rain too.

The rain has been holding e back too. I'm really tired of it. I took the day off work today to hopefully make up for lost time.

It's time put a different spin on this. Rain and sports- So, Saturday was going to be a great day, Michigan footbal! A lot is expected this first season under Brady Hoke. Fisrst Western Michigan drive went the length of the field and for a td. Michigan's defense sucked. Heard QB Denard Robinson was actually going to look like a QB instead of a RB and it was starting to look true. Michigan's defense woke up and too a fumble recovery for a td as well as an interception. Then the rain. I waited a half hour and game back on, team looked good, then rain and the game was called. BOOOO! Now Sunday I watch the Tigers and rain delay. Luckily they let them come back out and finish the game because the Tigers came back and won. Now Sunday night's Nascar race in Atlant. RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The postpone the race til today, Tuesday. Well, I've been watching since 11am and after a few rain delays, it's still not over. Nothing we can do about this, but I guess I'm just ready for hockey, since the games are indoors. ;D

One of the gardening forums I'm on is based out of Louisiana so most folks are from there and Texas. They had a thread going that gave updates from their rain guages when the tropical storm passed through. 4" was the average. The poor folks in SE Texas hadn't seen a drop of rain in months.

What area of Texas is it thats getting torched by wildfired right now? Saw the story on the news while I was eating dinner tonight but didnt pay much attention to it.

There are multiple fires, but I read earlier that central Texas is the worst and then saw on tv areas of Austin were being evacuated.

Wow, you sure pulled this thread from the distant past. For a second there I thought OJ's new drain field wasn't working already. I was talking to a guy in Kentucky today. Their entire Labor Day weekend was rained out. That had to suck.

My friends in Georgia said the same. It was that latest tropical storm, it moved very slow. I posted that kind of in a joking matter. There are many more important things than sporting events. I was bored during the 2nd rain delay in the Nascar race that took 5 hours to complete when it was supposed to run Sunday night. ;D Word is there is yet another tropical storm off the gulf that they are fearing may hangout for awhile longer and build strength before hitting land.
