146mm total for the last 3 days certainly has made things boggy and wet after a week of drying out...

Woke up at about 4am with a very heavy deluge for an hour or so..

Looks like 28 might be right about the seasons changing with the Sou'easters setting in with a vengeance this week....and yes Ron I also really pray we dont now just get 4 endless months of SE stream showers and constant 15-25 knot winds....

I've just started cleaning the red scummy stuff off the solar panels..already cut back some bamboo which was inhibiting light as well....seems to not have been such a great idea to put them on a near flat skillion roof as with the wet season there is near-constant water laying on the bottom of the panels and serious algal growth on the glass...we have actually had a small bill the past couple of months rather then a several hundred dollar cheque in the mail like the first year we had them....

I am really over this wet season already...
