Getting some much needed rain. Have received about an inch so far. Might get more before the day is done.

The BTK killer plead guilty. I found it funny that the idiots in his church stuck up for him and thought there was a mistake, that he was an innocent guy. Have to wonder what they think now.

Got a bit of rain this morning. First rain in a little over two weeks. Today and tomorrow are to be fairly hot, but later in the week it is supposed to cool off a bit.

Really don't have much to say about the past few days. Other then they've been hot, dull and sleepy.

Will probably go to a movie this weekend, but that's it for excitement.

This will be the only time I say this, but I wish summer was over with already.

Turns out the starter went on the car and was fixed Monday morning, though we didn't pick the car up until Tuesday morning. Managed to get out and get groceries Monday evening.

Mowed the front yard yesterday afternoon. Will get the back yard, as well as one of the side yards, mowed this weekend.

We have been without rain since very early Monday morning and it's nice to have a dry spell. Although it could go right back to wet any time soon.

Seems like we have had rain every day for the past two weeks. There was little more than half an inch from yesterday and this mornings rain. Looks like we could get more of the nasty stuff. Would like have a dry period so I could get caught on some laundry.

The car has been towed to the service station and Enterprise car rental has been called as well. Probably wont be able to pick the car up until tomorrow morning. Not sure if the starter or the ignition switch needs to be replaced but I guess we will find out.

The septic tank was pumped out yesterday afternoon, about an hour after the guy left I was going to go out and get groceries but the car wouldn't start. Mom and I ended up hiking up to the little shopping area where our bank is located and buying a few things at the discount store before hiking home. It probably will not be until Monday morning before we can get a tow to the service station. Its probably something like the starter or maybe the ignition switch, but that's a guess.

Since I wont be able to get out and get some things to finish one project or another, will have to do other things to keep myself busy. That wont be a problem, have a few things I have been putting off. Of course it doesn't help that I have a headache.

We got a little rain last night, like we needed anymore. And to make matters worse, the septic tank needs to be taken care of. Ugh, that's not a pretty deal either.

Have been working on a new schedule so I can be more productive around the house. Maybe it will help me work on doing better with my online sales.

Anne Bancroft and Dana Elcar have both passed. I liked both actors.

Cool day today. Might get some rain yet.

We got hit with a nice rainstorm last night. Some time before it hit, could feel the humidity rise late in the afternoon. Then the rain came and within minutes you could feel that the temperature had dropped a bit. We got about an one and a quarter inch of rain after the storm left. Wind wasn't too bad, but it did blow some rain in. Of course now it will be a day or two before I can do another load of laundry or mow. Guess I shouldn't complain.

I managed to get a load of laundry done yesterday without disaster happening. Will do another load this morning and hope I can get another one or two done later in the week. Would like to try and get two loads done in one day, but that may be asking for trouble.

Even though it was fairly warm yesterday, because the house had cooled off during the night it wasn't too bad. The temperatures the rest of the week are going to be in the upper eighties or lower nineties. I have some cool meals planned for the rest of the week, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I need to do some laundry, I'm starting to get backed up on loads. I could wait another day or two, but with rain forecast for later in the week, maybe pushing ahead and at least getting a couple small loads would be good. Although I have a feeling it might back up into the basement and that's not good. I would go to a Laundromat, but I don't going to Laundromats in the first place and secondly, the only one close by closed up shop sometime last year. Well, I guess I'll have to decide one way or the other and roll with it.

There was one and a quarter inches of rain in the gauge from last nights rain. I figure, and this is only a guess, that we got close to five inches of rain last week. That's a lot of rain and just watch us go into a bit of a dry spell.

Yesterday morning there was nearly two inches of water in the rain gauge. Thought maybe we would escape the day without rain and I was wrong. We had a tornado warning for a bit, late in the evening and then got some more rain.

Managed to get much of the water from previous rains, out of the basement. I am sure there is more rain downstairs.

Looks like more rain is in store for the area. Saw on the news where the amount of rain varies from area to area. One town had over two inches of rain, while another had just a scant amount.

Finally put the rain gauge out. Haven't checked it to see how much rain we got, I know it rained hard a couple times last night and early this morning. Seems like Mother Nature has in a rain pattern at the moment. I'm sure we will have another dry spell like we had before all this rain came pouring in.

Have a headache because of the weather. Was able to get a load of laundry done before it started to rain today. I think we might have gotten around an inch of rain earlier in the week. Seemed like we got more then that, haven't put out a new rain gauge yet so I am just guessing. Today's rain has been a gentle rain so far.

Bought the Mystery Science Theater set volume 3 this morning. Will probably get it next week. Now I only need to purchase the first two sets and I will have all the sets out there. Will more then likely buy any set that comes out in the future. Would love to have every misted movie on DVD, but I'm not buying someone's homemade version. I want a legitimate copy.

Went to see the movie "Madagascar" last night, pretty funny movie. The only problem I had was that the lead characters looked like the animators had gone with the decision not to make the leads look as realistic as the other animals in the movie. For example, the bottom of the paws on the lion "Alex" were flat. His toes were also sort of squared off. The noses on the four main characters looked like layers of felt rather then a more natural look to them. Don't know why they choose to make the main characters look more like toys then the other animals but they did. Other then that, the movie was pretty good. I liked the penguins the most. The only thing that would have made the movie a little better would have been if there had been a bear of some kind some where.

While we were in the movie, we got some rain. The area around where the movie theater is, got a small amount of rain while we where enjoying the movie, near home we got a heavy amount of rain and some wind. It was bad enough that the wind blew wind in and got my bed wet, my bed is near a southern exposure window. Had to sleep on towels last night, and I have a headache. Don't think its related to the sleeping on a wet bed.....but who knows (I kid). Once we got home, there was another burst of heavy rain. It rained a time or two over night was was raining lightly when I went out to feed the dogs. Not sure how much rain we got, and while we did really need this. Mother Nature really didn't need to try and get us caught up all at once either. I would hedge a guess that we got close to three inches. Need to get water out of the basement and put up the new rain gauge this morning.
