We got our fair share of rain this week: 1.35" Monday night and 2.25"
Tuesday evening. Tuesday we happened to be in Study Butte running errands when
on our way home it started to rain hard so we waited it out at Phil and
Regina's. When the rain stopped we attempted to drive home, but we happened
to be driving the car, and all the roads had washed out pretty badly. I attempted to drive home (not taking Sara's advice to wait until morning), went through some deep water and did some bumper and oil pan damage. After making it through several washouts we came to the East Corazones Draw, which had several feet of fast moving water. We helped some people with 4x4 trucks cross, and then we turned around and spent the night at our friends' house. We got a ride up to our place Wednesday morning and almost everything was OK.
Today I did some work at the ranch and came home to help get ready for the monthly potluck dinner. The potluck was fun; we got to see our friends and meet some new people. I talked to Dean about gasification and he knew quite a bit about the history, including the WWII-era coal-powered Volkswagens.
So that's it for today, thanks for reading.
