Pretty dry around Spokane too. I think we are about 3 inches below the usual average Which is nearly a third of what we usually get, but we seem to have got the precip when we needed it.

I sure don"t miss fooling with sprinkler pipes like I did when I was a teenager. But the guy I worked for got great hay crops from his irrigated field. And I earned a few bucks.
