Crazy September Weather

[KeyaPaha]

On Sunday, it was 94 here in north central Nebraska. Tonight we will be lucky if it gets up to 44. Might even go down to 34 with rain thru Wednesday! Actually, the rain and cooler weather forecast makes me happy. It has been baking dry here for weeks. Went out the other day, with the M6, to a field that once had the town horse race track and ball field from the early 1900s. Tried digging the first two targets and couldn't even get 2" deep with a tile spade! Hard as a rock! I need rain so I can get back to dirt fishing!!!!

The Lesche digging tools, (hand digger & spades), are excellent but it sounds like you're digging in baked clay.
Good luck buddy,,

You know it's hot when the asphalt is softer than the dirt!

Same here in Minnesota. Only a couple days between turning off the air conditioner and turning on the heat. But it’s been such a hot summer I am enjoying the cooler weather and the chance to get outdoor projects done.
