It seems odd that I want a gully washer rain. . . but I do.

We have been under a stage one or stage two fire ban for most of the summer. The Pine Gulch fire (139,007 acres ) is just 8 or 10 miles from here. To give you an idea, stage two you can't even smoke outside. So I haven't shot anything in weeks & haven't shot Muzzle Loader in months!
Thank God it's finally raining as I type this, a big soaking rain today. Steady rain for maybe 4 hours now. It cost me half a days work but it's so worth it, if it puts the fire out.
 
I wish we would get rain too. I thought we already burned this state, California, four times over. They seem to keep finding more stuff to burn. Smoke and ash for days now.

The shooting ranges have been closed because of either the virus or the wildfires. :dunno:
 
Yeah Saturday the smoke was like heavy fog, one day we had tiny leaves (The whole leaf but burned to ash) fall in town. Everyone gets a sore throat, cough and a headache. . . and then you go to work where you are supposed to report if you have a cough, fever, or headache so they can send you home without pay to wait for a covid test :doh:
 
We didn't get much of a monsoon this year and, at least locally, all the shooting spots have been closed for months because of fire regulations. I'd love some heavy rain.
 
"To give you an idea, stage two you can't even smoke outside."

I cannot even contemplate it being that dry and it actually being a law.

In 2011 we went through a drought and we worried a lot about fires and what would have to our cows.
 
I live in Yuma Az. and it hasn't rained here at all since last November it believe. Everything around here is sparce anyway so the danger of starting a fire that burns more than a bush or two is kind of moot. Nothing growing on the desert to speak of and the critters are really hurting. A good rain would be helpful for everything.
