Well - the hurricane/tropical storm did nothing but made us quit working for 1 day. Whew! At least go the garage cleaned out.

Any you guys get enough rain to help you in Austin or Dallas?

Here's a picture of the damage we got:

We did not get anything worthwhile. I took my electric scooter to the grocery store last evening and I got a couple of rain drops on me. When I woke up this morning my lawn was watered. That's about it.

Good Cloud Coverage today, adding a Bimini top to the front of the boat, to fit more bikinis up there with some sun coverage. [>:]

I just keep hoping those in leadership at my field will continue to grow old. Cause eventually they will stop growing old, and hopefully by then, we will be able to fly turbines at my field on a regular basis.

Not a lot of rain but it is 82F outside right now. N-I-C-E

At least good enough to do some garage work. I'll be honest if I had my model charged I'd go flying today.

Yep, lots of Pee in them there coves!

Great looking Ride! I needed a more mission capable boat than the cigarette style, we do a lot of Scuba Diving, Wakeboarding, Skiing, hanging out, and probably a couple cases of brew, and bottle of Jack a week.

I am extremely lucky in that two of the guys I fly jets with here in Austin, also own boats. So my Jet Friends are also my lake friends. We meet out at the cove, hangout all weekend. We also have a Delivery BBQ with Tugs BBQ. More on them here: http://www.texasoutside.com/txorails...s/show_lake/19

All the same, I would still like to go out during the week and fly jets.

Finally! I think after today's rain it is time to fly now, that is if it doesn't rain out this weekend. [8D]

Can't wait to remaiden the BARF with the new turbine on Sunday! Should be a bullet!

Sean, this is Tarrant County over here. The streets to work are flooded. I think Benbrook got even more rain.

Based on my knowledge of the above system, even with all that rain, there is not enough ground saturation, you should check this everyday over the next few days and see how it changes over time, I'm not saying don't go fly, I'm just trying to get my own feedback on this system over time for using it as a guage as to whether it's safe to fly or not. Obviously if you were flying in a rain storm, and the k/b was over 600, it would seem to me that a fire is unlikely.

How they correlate with each other is still a bit of a mystery to me, but I think it is ground saturation.

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Thanks Sean, will deffinetely do that.

I'm expecting to go out there and the first I will do is to check the tall grass and the ground. If for some reason it has dried up again I will most likely postpone my plans.

James, do you know if we are banned from running an engine on the ground at the field? I have an engine that I need to test run and I don't want to do it at home with the pregneant wifey.
