2 days of rain are over. We didn't get as much a Pete Caspers got 1 county to the north, but we had plenty. This is where my soil with all of the worm holes and sand subsoil will help. It should be dry enough by tomorrow afternoon so we can get the big pumpkin loaded without getting stuck. We can get my wife's 4wd Equinox down to the garden, and it will have a much lower lift than the truck to get our big watermelons loaded. The last measurements were just over 170#, but I think Jacob and I can handle them ourselves. I think today we will load up all of our smaller stuff and haul it up from the garden today, so we can just open it up for the deer to eat off the radishes and turnips after tomorrow.

They are predicting rain for Saturday, but we have an indoor venue for the Ryan Norlin Weigh-off in Anamosa. The wrestling team may need raincoats for the unloading at the big door, but all the spectators can stay dry in the community building. I hope everyone has safe travels to their weigh-offs.
