Once there's a lot of moisture, it seems to just keep recycling from puddle to storm. Conversely, when it's really dry, there's nothing for the sun to heat up and generate storms. At least that's my take from what the guessers say.

This area is in
some kind of t-
storm pattern
for the next week
w/rain most every
day. That's to be
the next 7 out of
9 days w/storms.
Sounds normal for
the month of Aug.
Tho it's been an
overly wet year,
so far.

A tstorm popped up here a little while ago. Still rumbling to the north and east. A large system is headed toward the area but with sundown approaching in minutes, it should dissipate before it gets here.

This area is
definitely in
a t-storm pattern.
Tho it is forecast
to be sunny all day
then back to t-
storms tomorrow
thru Tues. They are
not developing
above the mtns.
The storms are
coming here from
the west and are
getting more strength
from the heat of
the day. Still
have road washouts
to repair.

The extended wet weather has to be putting the repairs from the washouts behind. An early winter would not be good.
Had another pop up here today that dropped a decent amount of rain. I need to mow again. Tomorrow may work out.

Towns have hired
contractors to
repair roads.
They sure are
spending the
taxpayers money.
Some repairs
will be concrete
instead of gravel.
No need to fix
washouts over
and over. We're
in hill and mtn
country.

Good that they are going for a more permanent fix. It's not just the duplicative cost to the taxpayers -- the road is there for a reason.
Played 18 today. It was really hot so I rode more than normal in the cart.

Many roads that
get one from
town to town
remain washed
out. What a
huge mess in
all towns. It
will all be
repaired in
the course of
time. Getting
to other towns
can take 3x
longer w/the
detours.

Going to be a huge pain for a while if you are in one of the towns where the road hasn't been repaired or need to go to one frequently.
Played 18 this morning. Strong front 9, walked a good bit. Wilted on the back.

The NH DOT is
deciding on
several wash-
outs to pour
many yards of
concrete. As
the decision
goes thru the
chain of com-
mand, weeks
are marching
on as some
hwys can not
be driven on.

G'vment at it's finest. We're seeing what they can do if they want to with the new Intel project. They need infrastructure right now and they're getting it done 3x, maybe even faster than what you'd have thought possible. It's fully funded and prioritized. I've never seen ODOT accomplish so much so fast.
I mowed today and noticed that one of my wild cherry trees is loaded. They look fairly ripe so I'll have to harvest them tomorrow.
On another note, I think you have stopped activity over at GB. Still, you may find the posts in this thread interesting: gbo.freeforums.net/thread/3914/main-gas-buddy-page

Haven't posted
or cared about
the GB site
since they got
rid of all my
pix & removed
the forums. It
was around Mar
of 2018, nearly
6½ y/a.

Nice stats  !
A lot of people felt that way. The old GB is about gone. They're saying that Oregon is the last site left in that thread I linked.
I walked 9 this morning -- 2.5 miles.
