It's becoming a dust bowl out here if you have to travel over an area countless times!

Dont know how to send it. But if you want to come pick it up i would buy you a beer while your here. Just make sure to bring extra truck to take some mud back with you.

we are really dry in s.w. pa. - they've had rain about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs north of here, but i can't remember the last time we had substantial rainfall. might of got a couple 10 min. ones last week or so.
i had to quit working on a project cause of the dust...my friend was in a skidsteer with a respirator on and was totally covered with dust/sweat

That sucks. Wish there was some happy medium. Becuase we are over our yearly average for precip here. Somewhere close too if not over 40" allready. Yearly average is like 36".

Getting some rain today.

I know what you mean. I did a job last week, and was backdragging about 75 yard runs with the skidsteer. I put a hugh dust cloud in the air, and then when I stopped, it caught up with me each time. I have about a .25" of dust all over me and my face except for the handkerchief I had over my mouth and nose. The sweat on my arms turned it to a nice mud cake.

If ya want some rain, I'll send ya all you can handle, just as soon as I master controlling nature. maybe a few rain dances will work for ya too. I'll let ya come on down and pick up some rain in person if ya want, I got plenty of it, so take as much as ya want.
