Coffee anyone ?

Even a couple tenths would fill them off the gutters.

If I remember right every square foot of house (flat not the angled roof) is a half gallon per 1" of rain. 1500 sq ft house 750 gallons if all caught.
I really want some guttering and run it to my systern not 30' from the house for summer garden use.

When the roof needed replacing I had a gutter and downspouts added to the back of the house. Then I set up 4 rain barrels. Love having free water next to my gardens.
 
Another day of cool & damp here. Wet air, no rain really. Only 46 this morn, heating to 66? 🤷 Was home & pretty much wasted all day doing nothing yesterday. Coffee is hot & good. Might be the highlight of my day.😂 Looks like I got about half an inch of rain from Sat night weather system. Needed more.

Looking at job portal, it's a light week. Good! Need that relief. I scheduled nothing for Fri so I can be prepared to be ready to roll out early Saturday morn for Gilmanor meet up. Gas tank full, water troughs full, hay out, etc.
 
Nothing better than to get a call from the wife saying she slid off the road in a snow storm. They redid the road awhile back as in slap stick job so if you get anywhere near the edge within a foot you lose it snow or dry. She got over for some arsehole, stopped and it started sliding sideways to the point of flipping, ripped a brand new sway bar linkage out.
To top it off throw out bearing went finally "she didn't tell me how bad it was". Throw out bearing is what you use to disengage the clutch on a manual.
Towed it out, stuck it in gear and then cranked it up to get it home for her as she drove my truck.

I'm going to try to buy a grader this construction season, I've had enough of their lackadaisical ways of back here. After 10 miles from the interstate they figure us "peasants" as they see it don't need services.
Could net a $10k fine, but I'm going to "accidentally" drop the grader blade on the road, mainly on the hills where washboard is so bad it's breaking my dump truck, blew two tires out them. Like I say, I'm the dumpster fire that brings light into the darkness.
