We got about .2" over the course of the day, starting about 12:30. Not 
enough to really do any good, but enough to limit outdoor activities. It 
is not so much that it has been wet the last couple of weeks, but it has 
been very cool for this time of year - 40s at night and 60s during the 
day. According to my WeatherBug, starting Tuesday it should go up to the 
80s, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. In most of the 
local fields, the corn is about 1" high, but the alfalfa and oats are 
coming along nicely after the first cutting.

I was going to get out the Farmall 560D and hook up the Woods Cadet 72 
to trim the shrubbery and weeds along the road, as they are starting to 
scratch the sides of the vehicles going by. But everything is so wet 
that I think I will wait until tomorrow - every time I touch a tree or 
bush, I get soaked. I normally use the '48 Cub with the sickle bar mower 
for the trimming task, but the governor isn't working right, so I guess 
I am going to have to tear into it and find out what's wrong.
