Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Not even 3" yet and i see nothing for weeks.
Yeah, there was some sort of Red Fag Warning for smoke today. You would think people would be smart enough to realize that with dry weather and high winds, it is just NOT a good idea to be burning stuff out in the yard. That includes the national forest people who typically do (un)controlled burns this time of year. They must look for especially low IQ people for that department.
In the past we have fires so close that burning embers were falling in our yard. And once we had a fire truck drive by while we were outside in the yard and they stopped to ask us if we knew where the fire was located. :face_palm_02: I am NOT kidding! I told them no, but if you follow the smoke, that might help. :hehehe:

We wound up getting 0.45" of rain on Thursday.
Forecast is calling for 3 to 4 more inches of rain for Friday and Friday night. I can see it coming from the southwest Gulf of Mexico on the radar.
They are still calling for a low of 28 degrees Saturday night. Man I hope they are WAY wrong and it is warmer than that. Got a lot of fruit trees putting out new growth and flower buds. We may have to cover our navel orange tree as that one has a ridiculous number of flower buds on it right now. Sure would hate to have them all frozen off. That means I have to put posts in the ground to hang the big tarp off of over that tree.

We got 1.01" of rain here today (Friday). More coming down now and more on the way overnight with a flood watch and gale warnings. Temps are supposed to be dropping down to 26 degrees for Saturday night... :dead:
Planning on putting some bamboo stakes in the ground and covering the navel orange tree, along with Connie's pineapple plants. Probably going to be some unhappy looking plants come Sunday. Just hope the winds don't blow off the tarps.

We got 0.77" more rain overnight with lots of wind. Heard a bunch of tree limbs and crap hitting the roof all night long. Windy out today.
Calling for a low of 27 degrees tonight with a freeze warning in effect.
Wind gusts up to 25 mph tonight, so might be tough keeping the tarps on the plants.
This is Florida, dammit! Keep that cold weather up north where it belongs!

That is about what i have had all year.
Yeah, I saw all that heavy rain swinging north of us on the weather radar. We only really got brushed by the southern edge of it.
