It won't quit raining. Creek is near bank full and they are predicting 1" to 3" tonight, with localized 5" totals. I checked on the patch between storms. The vine feeding the 899 is completely rotted off. U don't think there is any chance it will last until a weigh-off. No way to get it out of the garden without wrecking our remaining field pumpkins. I wanted to measure the little 1047.5 but I wasn't wearing my rubber boots. It is sitting in about 4" of water I have vines growing over the electric fence, shorting that out, wires in water and some on the ground. I hope the groundhog doesn't get in and wreck what little we have left. At least the frogs can now swim around 1047.5 while hunting bugs.
