What to do during a drought.

**308bolt** · July 04, 2012, 17:57

I've been cutting down buckthorn , poisoning the stumps and spraying thistle and burdock for the past couple of weeks.
Also, cutting out the vines that have been climbing my walnut trees and murdering boxelders wherever I find them.
This is the perfect weather for it.
97 in the shade and bone dry.

Review your water usage. Cut back all non-essential use. Reduce personal use to absolute minimum. Waste nothing ! Reuse water resources; clean, potable to gray; gray to brown; brown to the ground to keep sustenance plants alive. Cook in canning liquids. Drink juice from canned fruit or veg.

Cutting back vegetation as you have been doing. Install rain-water storage if your allowed..aw hell! even if yer not allowed..it's a drought, ain;t it!

If possible, use a composting toilet or dig yer own privvy.. you know how!

**kfranz** · July 04, 2012, 20:54

Go look at places on the lake.

**martin35** · July 04, 2012, 21:29

I've asked my pool girl to lower the water level 6 inches in the Olympic size pool,,, that saves nearly 2100 gallons,,, changing nothing in my slightly smaller personal pool and the Olympian alligators don't know the difference.
It's the same logical plan Obama uses for our economy,,, droughts are Bush's fault anyway,,, as every alligator knows..

If there was rain water it wouldn't be a drought now, would it?

**StG58Freak** · July 04, 2012, 23:15

During a drought i drink more beer and mead. It saves water

**308bolt** · July 05, 2012, 10:43

Someone told me the other day that Satan called and he wants his weather back.
I thought I was done with the buckthorn but I found one more patch of it.

I'm sure your Oaks are very appreciative to get the runoff from your pool

Not yet but keep dancing and I'll keep you apprised of the results.

In Michigan I'm surrounded by the five Great Lakes, plus hundres of inland lakes.

The only way Michigan will dry out is if the New Madrid fault opens up and sucks Michigan dry.

It's gonna be another hot mutha today in NE OH. Supposed to be 98 and some say we might break 100. It's been 90 or over for awhile. I'm gonna ruck up in a bit and take a brisk walk for a few miles through the woods to sweat out some of the beer i drank the other day.

If ya don't hear from me i was captured by a swamp maiden or dried up.

Chip · July 07, 2012, 15:14

It's 90+ here in southern Idaho today an suppose be in the upper 90's all week.

**andresere** · July 07, 2012, 15:50

Low to mid 80s with sunshine here in Salem for the last week. Supposed to get a little warmer, but this is the most consecutive days without rain we have had all year.

Putting lots of miles on this.

66 deg f here and its been raining every night since the 4th, suuposed to get down to 54 tonight, gotta get out the big blankie

lutefisk · July 08, 2012, 09:19

To conserve water and my septic system I pump all laundry water into a plastic garbage can in the crawl space. From there, a portable submersible sump pump automatically pumps it onto the lawn. As gray water is actually fairly nasty stuff, you do not want to store it. Use a low pressure turbine style sprinkler so as not to clog it up with lint. Clean the sump pump annually and I protect mine with an external screen over the intake. I should put a better filter in place before the pump, but have never gotten around to it.

Seems like common sense to me, but many folks here don't want to deal with the hassle. They pump their septic tanks every 3 years, I just pumped after 12 yrs, and it did not need it (no garbage disposal either).

**308bolt** · July 08, 2012, 09:27

Sounds like a good way to save the septic and water the lawn.
What do you do in the winter though?

They are actually pretty good here abouts. Rivers are low though. The upside to the dry is that the mosquitos are more like lessquitos. You northern or southern WI?

Southern.
I think I've only seen three mosquitoes so far this year.
Lot's of Boxelder bugs though. I noticed that last year with the wet spring there were fewer Boxelder bugs. This year they seem to be making up for it.

Yep, pray for rain. Pray that this country be forgiven it's national sins while you're at it. This nation has long since broken any Covenant with the Almighty that our ancestors may have made... No, I am neither crazy nor a Bible-thumper.. but I can read the handwriting on the wall...

We did get a little rain and since I don't pray I figure it was coming anyway.
As to OUR nation's covenant: I guess every nation must have had one that they broke because regardless of the drought most places are a lot worse off than we are at the moment. I'm open to most any logic but I don't subscribe to superstition. You would think that mankind would be past that point by now.

Ironhandjohn · July 15, 2012, 23:55

It's been raining here in Nashville for almost a solid week now. The top on my Del Sol leaks and so it smells like a Sasquatch in my car. Today is the first time the sun's been out for more than a few minutes, so I took the top off of the car in order to try to dry the interior out a little.

I haven't resorted to drinking my urine yet, and have cut down on the masturbation so as to preserve my bodily fluids.

paul fowler · July 18, 2012, 22:46

This has been a weird year for rainfall here in WV. I fly fish a lot and I've never seen the rivers so low so early (noticed in April). At the beginning of June our springbox was down to a trickle coming in. Every few years the spring will slow down in late summer/fall but never this early. My 11 year old son and I dug a new feeder in up the mountain and got enough flow to see us through. We have had pretty regular rain for the last three weeks so we have more than enough water now. Anyway, I know what it means to be without water so I hope those of you who need it get some rain soon.

**308bolt** · July 19, 2012, 09:59

Rain started falling here at 8 PM last night and continued till about four this morning. There's a good chance of more today. It was a nice soaker not a sudden downpour. I went for a walk in it and enjoyed the lightning and thunder immensely. I thought I heard a tree sigh.

**kfranz** · July 19, 2012, 11:42

We got it yesterday morning. Not a ton of rain mind you, but a start. The lightning must have been pretty close, because we had the loudest/sharpest thunder cracks that I've heard in a long time.

**308bolt** · July 19, 2012, 11:50

We had a lot.
There's standing water in a low spot in my driveway and the soil hasn't absorbed all that came down. I took advantage of the drought to clean out rotten places in trees and fill them so they wouldn't collect water again.
I massacred the buckthorn and the thistle. It's good to finally see some rain but equally good to have caught up on some property maintenance. Our aquifer has been dropping so I hope we get a lot more very soon.

**LAFAL** · July 19, 2012, 12:03

This would be a good time to start work on the boat dock so you don't have to get wet sinking pier timbers. Or repair the one ya got.

**308bolt** · July 19, 2012, 14:29

[sigh] I wish I had a dock to worry about. [/sigh]

**StG58Freak** · July 19, 2012, 18:14

We got a good hard rain today followed by an all day steady rain but the ground was so dry it all disappeared. Looks like i'm gonna have to mow the lawn. First time in a month because the grass stopped growing and the only thing growing was a few scraggly weeds.

It's good to finally see some rain but equally good to have caught up on some property maintenance. Our aquifer has been dropping so I hope we get a lot more very soon. __________________ "The bandwagons rumble past. I sit here on the curb," ~ John Hartford ~ "Nil desperandum, -- Never Despair.

Or repair the one ya got. __________________ -to AR is human. to FAL is divine!

First time in a month because the grass stopped growing and the only thing growing was a few scraggly weeds.
