There is rain and then there is more rain. We're getting both here in northeast Illinois. And...we've been having a lot of rain for several weeks, not just what started yesterday. It's got me out checking downspouts and drain tile to make sure the water is getting away from the house.
We have a big drainage basin behind the house and that is getting almost to the top, not to mention the new pond between the driveway and driveway light.
The Chain was made No Wake last weekend and now is completely closed, not that many folks yet have their boats out, including us. Maybe the Waterway Management knew when they seriously let the Chain down last fall. That will make up for last year when they let it down and we didn't get hardly any rain. As a result, there were a lot of bottom-boat interaction last season. We even had to pull out boat for a month because of fear of getting stranded in the mud in our channel.
We have had a real lot of rain since about 10 AM yesterday. It rained all night and continues and we hear it goes until Friday.
We had been planning to drive to Springfield today for a SCV meeting Saturday until a few days ago when I remembered there was a presentation tonight in Fox Lake that I wanted to go to. We put off the trip until Friday. Now, I am not even sure we will be able to go then.
It was to be a Route 66/Sons of Confederate Veterans Illinois Division Meeting kind of a trip.

TOO PUNNY: We're going on a class trip to the local Coca-Cola plant. I sure hope there is no pop quiz.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
