Default When is it going to stop

I cannot believe this rain here in PA. Seems like its been raining forever. We now have over 20" since March 1. Average is about 10".
I have 3 new/used MLs to sight in and find a good load for. And rain and MLing do not mix too well. I went out last week when I though it was done, got the table set up, targets in place and the sky opened up again.

Just the opposite down this-a-way. Going on six weeks with hardly a drop. It's so dry I have to water my tomatoes and peppers every other day.

This week has been pretty nice until today and perfect shooting temps but i couldn't take off work. Its killing me because if i cant shoot i start looking at stuff to buy i really don't need.

I feel your pain same here its been raining forever. My trip upstate for this weekend is cancelled Im not gonna drive 400 mi round trip to sit in the cabin and my bones bother me to much to sit out in a drizzle waiting on some turkeys ( we can only hunt till noon in the spring) In afternoon was gonna burn some more powder .Last week I went up 3 days and managed 1 semi dry hunt.

We have had plenty of rain so far this spring, 15 inches in two weeks at the end of April. My corn is 8 inches tall and growing, cant wait to dig into some fresh corn in July. We have been eating lettuce, radishes, and green onions for quite a spell now. Ready to try out some other veggies as well.
