What I thought could be a short bit of rain turned into a 24 hour deluge. The storm was spinning around to the south and dragged a bunch of wet with it that just caught us in the morning. ![Screenshot_20240505-083701.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23w26aHi1n3KXA8T8MgMyYxKtH77MCc8458QSxCGH5wB9V7VnY1UX5DzmcdiNaEcE7cvR.png) Before it really hit I went out to cover the turkey feeder with a sheet of metal. I know they would eat wet food but it is much better to keep it dry. ![IMG_20240505_084505.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23uFWDC2W5tYLxXi35mqhYAKSh9tuuD82DoVEYMwUHmWJFHBtmGiWuoaVz2qEQuV1seFA.jpg) I've been keeping my eyes open for a good hook knife to have one me for paragliding. It's a safety measure in case I land in the water or in a tree such that I need to cut the straps of my harness or the lines of my wing. It will deliver today and I will figure out where best to mount it on my harness. ![61k7i4uMgjL._AC_SL1500_.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23x1RwK71VNCetRnSgrDe7TDZzfqGLHsaUJ6W6nJ6P3HUjNRAh1fpe1BAK6Yk1iFKcDc2.jpg) With the rains all day it meant a lot of darts throwing. It felt SUPER nice much of the day as my throws were quite accurate. The feel of the darts was better and I could slightly adjust my grip to change the aim. ![IMG_20240505_105909.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23vhsZDes8fd7jo3WNhLkQgZEDoLvnTVQzWvbxTiLUMQYV5NKz7TmPkegS5kSYmLfEYAw.jpg) Mid day while it continued to dump rain I got a batch of syrup made or the bees. ![IMG_20240505_113021.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23uQnD2Vkv2QzxzmZY4sWXVyWLnxL5pZuYCwXuxfozf8Yocmba8Ke1UEnmzG8WwBkYb95.jpg) I filled a half gallon mason jar, poked holes in the lid then set it in the hive. I added a does of Complete Bee which should help give them a nice boost to start with. ![IMG_20240505_135327.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23tby8PGxQw6xMc7nmq9os6SRshJhcmNuBWjuUWvFhtYDqwhXUxHtUsKKmtuJULji3Ed9.jpg) ![IMG_20240505_135525.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23tmHnQt5FMC739SFYADJbfWaJNSPmNJsqFaEDazfbKhTnUPyNmwbhG6dXWEjo96y7wQ6.jpg) I'm gradually getting my triples. Was none for a bunch of throws, then began getting one every few throws, and now I'm starting to get two triples every few throws. Repetition and practice makes the aim better. ![IMG_20240505_135737.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23uFTrGpSr9oYzfKByVJmVQAtLXZtBUwi7pay67Z8rTxhsUhuG4BuxEoNccLCrPmUkSE4.jpg) ![IMG_20240505_140613.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23vsHq6qZAPYefHnYsh7Cx4GBvhFCmCWvhdMYmKFS9rpzuKYdkBo6ryqNfx1WGsZeXqLk.jpg) We got a slight pause in the rain in the later afternoon before it continued to dump into the evening and overnight. I put Wayne's World 2 on to watch in the early afternoon. ![IMG_20240505_143131.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23ynJ8e5qytDaUxnuHY1BuoAb7PaYAvkZXLDNnzcN5n2AMvxrbSia6GchDCaWfPUiHNXs.jpg) I got the fire going and made sure to have it built big enough to fight the deluge of water. ![IMG_20240505_160154.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23u62sur3CKpxYHFC1yoz38pm8xgdFBh4Zppra9FSxhmvvhVMtvrkYWp77iNwd7bYCcpz.jpg) 3 triples, just not all the same, but still 3 triples. ![IMG_20240505_160623.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23vhuW1TFhvQtTjuPBRto3dogVfp376xqb5yZNXo9YhKKR6MSmNm7J7owci2epVYSQki6.jpg) The boys tried their hands at making pumpkin bread and managed to get it done with only a bit of mess. I was surprised there was any batter to go in the oven but while the potatoes baked the bread in. ![IMG_20240505_172336.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23wWpWo9rwmu37BdMTzCRaLxbWUA27CqoUCj3MsctuKenJeFodizqdaXMcxEyoZwXkGkp.jpg) I got the steaks on to grill as another round of deluge came through. ![IMG_20240505_175652.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23yJ7wUAJZcYddZ18ryuHmFK6412tWH6MpS7R2FBijRfKz5f4ee7oaPes4oXQsK2NXrQh.jpg) Beef rib steak and bison sirloin tip steaks. ![IMG_20240505_175752.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23wqiGfMuhuWKkhd2nPVTQVZiF9TgsqNQCnthQjYZupyHjGo3nsUbYK6GmLkV9y5x9VnK.jpg) ![IMG_20240505_175756.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23u5zy3KxehTwDDc2ouG8QnGeWAsLqoweGm2XQoKeH4iaid5imMv3vzYTDtP3z5SUigxx.jpg) And as we went to soak it continued the dumping. ![IMG_20240505_194411.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23tvYHStnRzfs24P3psW7cAMszzz9egHjRbJLffUcLursNxvM7ywer5A4XBFR8cBBnqeU.jpg) The storm had spun around such that it brought everything that went over in the morning right back over us in the evening. ![Screenshot_20240505-195155.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23vrkDqA9pngFA1zB9hhhbjsVs5kGS6qgtU9oBd4V7ndZBHySwLJviT8DUPc8ohuvr9pd.png) This was the setup for overnight and it has just about moved past as I type this now and we have .9" in the gauge. ![Screenshot_20240505-205041.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/flemingfarm/23wfn4LyLjepoj5z6qZh9YArZArANmqGkvLru2Xk5RMmmvLzyRZysxkkhCSUiD5Xv5C9k.png) It should stop raining within the hour then the rest of the week looks nice and I will be able to fly at least one of the days. This morning I have to get the boys to school, have a chiro appointment, if it dries out enough I will cut grass, decide where the hook knife will mount, get boys from school, make dinner, then we have a flying club meeting tonight. --- |*2024 Y/E Hive Goals*|Goal|Current|+/- Goal|+/Week| :-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-: HP| 30,000 | 25,630 |+316 | 32 | HBD Savings| 4,030 | 2,862 |/| 6 | Hive Posting Streak Days| 1681 | 1442 |/| 2 | https://i.imgur.com/jZHRpZ9.png *^Affiliate/Referral Link^* https://i.imgur.com/jZHRpZ9.png **For more information about our farm: [Fleming Family Farm](https://flemingfamily.farm) FLEMING FAMILY FARM, LLC Sustainable & Organic Methods | Heirloom Produce** ###### *All images are original works of Fleming Family Farm unless otherwise notated and credited.* ### *If you find this post useful or entertaining, your support is greatly appreciated by upvoting, following, and sharing!* http://i.imgur.com/scQMN2U.jpg
