Rain

I think I posted that changing seasons blog a little too soon.

Over the last couple days, the temps have dropped and it has RAINED. We learned that our hooch is not made to be all-weather and it is far from North Carolina building codes.

We had some leaks spring up and they sprung up at about 0500 in the morning.

Our driving-range/dust field became a field of mud that spanned exactly the distance from our front door to the port-a-johns. What wasn't about 3 inches of mud was about 3 inches of water. Of course it is kind of hard to tell the difference at that time in the dark, I mean morning, when you are still drowsy and have left your flashlight right where you wouldn't forget it.

We have since built a path on some of the high spots so we can more easily traverse the mud/lake at any hour.

The weather finally let up today at about 1000. The lightening and thunder were spectacular. If you weren't paying attention, you could confuse it for other loud noises one would hear in a combat zone.

All is well though. Nothing permanently damaged by water, no one hurt and everyone is still mission capable.

Hope you are all staying safe and dry!!!
