All I have to say is if I didn't play stupid now and then my life would be very boring :o)
We received 2 & 7/10ths inches of rain last night. I woke up at 3am to hear rain hitting our windows and was just tickled!! Goodness knows we needed the rain!
I called Fred this morning when the rain stopped and told him what we got, he asked if I had checked on the pool yet. Nooo! Not yet but I was fix'in to go down there. (He told me do NOT drive in the driveway, sigh...which means I have to park at the road and walk in...) The driveway at the beginning is Black Gumbo and when it's wet it's sticky!
Storm Clouds to the East and already past us...~
Yeah the pool is still standing (bottom left) and the sky is gorgeous!~
Looking good, other than the water level being a bit high! I back-flushed it to get the water down below the skimmers. I had put chemicals in last night and the levels were good this morning!~
Now to show you what "Stupid" me did...I decided to try the driveway in the truck, Oops! (I know Fred told me NOT too but I just had to try) I made it to the bridge but that was it...Black Gumbo sucks!! I think I will be ordering some gravel in the next few weeks! I did grab the keys to the tractor before I left the house so that was a good thing. I went and got the tractor and pulled the truck out, not easy to do with no one to steer, grr...But I did it!~
Yikes!! I'm in big trouble when Fred sees what I did, gulp!~
Yep time to get some gravel brought out, should have done it sooner! But I'm un-stuck and home. Truck is cleaned off and when it's dry guess we'll be working on the driveway!~
It could have been worse but I know when I'm stuck and no sense making a bigger mess. I did call and tell Fred, he yelled, then he started laughing and asked if I was going to do it again...Ahh No! I think I'll pass!

Gee, you've had an exciting day!! I've just been home, sewing window curtains for the camper. I think that might beat getting stuck in the mud, though it's not nearly as exciting!! Call for gravel, will ya!!? :)
we didn't get quite that much rain but it was much appreciated. John couldn't get to the pens either, had to carry the big sacks of feed. We've been there and done that on the getting stuck subject.
Yee Haw...used to do that just for fun...If you could still see the paint on the truck, you quit too soon! I'm glad you were able to get out without too much trouble and yep, might be time for some gravel!
