Was still pretty nice for a while. Got a good bit done then the clouds rolled in around noon and I gave up.  |

If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something. |

They are calling for 2-3 inches down here in Central Illinois on already soaked fields. Was flying today before the rain started and many fields look like small lakes. Its going to be a long while before the farmers can get into their fields and harvest their crops.
2-3 inches... this is approaching snow fall measurements.
Edit: Godly luck Jon. Sucks the sumppump isn't working. I know you have a small moat when it IS working.

1 edit | Well we made it through the night with no flooding. Gonna go get a new pump at lunch. Just need it to hold on for a few more hours. Looks like we might get a break in the rain for a few hours around 9. that will help. What pisses me off is that I just bought this pump last spring. I'll have to see if I can find teh paperwork. It's a RIDGID and they supposedly have a lifetime warranty against material defects. I can only assume it's a switch problem but I need to get it out and look at it first.
God I'm tired of friggin rain. I haven't been able to get out and mow the leaves. Now they're a few inches deep.  |

| I only burnt for "recreational purposes" in a pit smaller than 3 feet...so the answer is yes. To be honest I didn't burn that much only enough so I could mulch the rest without leaving behind mud pits. |

1 edit | Intellicast says it will be sunny Sat & Sun. So hopefully we'll get a chance to mow the leaves. 
Also gonna fire up the snow blower this weekend just to make sure it will start. Don't want to find out it won't when there's 8 inches of snow on the ground.

To be honest I didn't burn that much only enough so I could mulch the rest without leaving behind mud pits. Ah, I know you're not supposed to burn leave in Dupage. Not I haven't done what you did but I'm not sure if it's actually "allowed". Most of my neighbors burn stuff though, branches and various tree crap, b/c everyone has so many trees. So at least I know I wouldn't need to worry about anyone complaining. |
