That's nuts. Up here, we only get a few days in the low 90s most summers. Have seen a few with no 90s. Of course, our long cold winters do balance things out.

I thought summer was great. Not too hot and it rained once a week. Of course we have already had our first snow.

This has been the worst summer of record since the dust bowl, according to the old timers at the general store in the next town over. We finally got a decent rain last night for the first time in months. Our pond is down ten feet.

As much as I like to shoot, I just can't handle it in the summertime. Its usually around the end of September into October before I can start to enjoy shooting, even though I'm shooting in the shade. Extending the distance to 50 yds. I will be in the sun.

Good news, it started raining last night, a slow steady rain. It's still raining. It's supposed to rain thru tomorrow. This slow steady rain is just what we need. The dry cracked ground is soaking it up for now, but when it's gotten it's fill it will run down into the pond and the creeks and drain safely away as it should and not flood. Being down ten to twelve feet now, the pond will take a lot before it starts to divert the excess into the creek as it's designed to do. (A whole lot.)
