[AT] RE: Tubes and tires/fixes / barnyard repair

[charlie hill]

I didn't think we got that much rain with Ernesto but I just talked to a 
friend about 2 miles from my place that said his rain guage ran over.  It 
measures 5 1/2 inches and has about another inch or so above the 5 1/2 mark 
so he figures we got about 7 inches.
