Hi Everyone,

Just an update - STILL NO RAIN!

I just got off the phone with Deb. I plan to defer stocking until the spring because my pond is getting lower and lower. I checked the annual rainfall for my county - we are 20 inches behind, and only have 26 inches year-to-date. Our avarage annual rainfall is 46 inches.

I think ML will be stocking his pond - he is further south and (i think) has access to water for his ponds.

After I stock in the spring - I will start up a new post to keep everyone informed of the progress.

Alligator,

Check this out. NOAA is calling for a wetter than normal winter for east Texas. See:

Hope they're right eh?


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Alligator:

If you want to supply a campsite and put up with them, I can try and have my son's Boy Scout Troop come down to stay at your pond. It ALWAYS rains wherever they camp, sometimes to the point of forced evacuation! \:D

I'll come down and wash my truck while the boyscouts are there. Lots of rain is guaranteed afterwards.

While Theo's & LBuck's suggestions are sound, I suggest you plan an outdoor wedding at your pond. Sure enough, you'll get some rain.

Granted you might have $10,000 to $20,000 in sunk costs for the caterer, band, minister, etc., but isn't it worth it?

Gator,

I'm pressing on and doing a nightly raindance...hasn't brought any rain yet, but no water turkeys either. I may be on to something. \:\)

Looking forward to seeing GGs in real life...Wednesday is GG stocking day.

ML, Good luck with your rain dance. I have several volunteers to have car washes, weddings and camp outs if that helps!

: )

Thanks everyone, sure enough if we did hold an event - the rain would come in spades!

ML, so the rain dance keeps the water turkeys away? Must be the 'funky chicken'. \:o
