Anyone know how to build an ark?

[FarmerDavid]

This Bill guy is a real downer.

And I thought it was cause of all the rain we been getting

I've got a set of instructions somewhere laying around the house......

We are well into haying season and the fields are too wet to drive on, if we'd ever get three days without rain. Hay won't dry laying on wet ground.

First you've got to convert all the measurements to cubits.

No kidding. It's been raining nonstop here in southern Indiana. It might be sunny half the day, but then it pours down rain all evening and night. It's been raining since about 3 am this morning with no signs of letting up. Feeding the animals before work today I about lost a boot I sank into the mud so far.

On the bright side, it's giving us a chance to clean inside the house and organize things since it's too wet for outside projects.

Some of the best farm ground in the country is in the "thumb" of the Michigan mitten. These mostly level fields have large ditches that serve as drains. Actually, millions of years ago, the area was a lake bed.
But as the water level of the Great Lakes have quickly risen from historic lows a few years ago, to just above normal now, continued rains might change Michigan from a mitten to a sock. Good bye thumb. About as likely as needing an Ark, but fun to speculate.

Yes. I am on a rare piece of ground in the thumb-on a hill. I have no idea when we will be able to cut hay with the weather we have been haveing. Wounder if the suckers are running in the ditches...
I've actualy been in the house doing winter work,sewing,so much rain...

Noah and his boys! But, I don't think they're available on Facebook or linked-in.

We got drenched last night in west ky, and now we're going under heat advisory for several days!

If it's not one thing, it's another.

I hope everybody's haying goes okay.

We have an Ark but it faces differently - Flip-de-flupe:

Works great in mud season. The land under it is sloped for drainage plus 2' of course wood chips that drain well.

Okay. But this time around NO MOSQUITOES!

As I understand it, a cubit is approximately 18 inches. Just be sure to have a ready supply of Gopher wood...

If you need the Ark.... HE will provide you with all you need..... I'd say it would be easier to get saved... than build the Ark!

Reminds me of the old joke about the flood...

A man was on top of a roof during a flood. A rescuer comes by in a boat and says "get in and we'll save you!" The man replies, "I have faith in God - He will grant a miracle."

Later with the water at about chest high, another boat comes to rescue him, but he turns down the offer again saying "I am sure God will save me."

With the water at chin high, a helicopter throws down a ladder and the pilot tell him to get in. Mumbling with the water in his mouth, the drowning man again turns down the offer of help.

When he arrives at the gates of heaven with broken faith and says to Peter, I thought God would grand me a miracle and I have been let down."

St. Peter chuckles and responds, "I don't know what you're complaining about, we sent you two boats and a helicopter."

Sometimes you have to use the tools you are given to make the miracle you want.

Highlands, at a church we attended years ago, the preacher told that joke. I also remember him telling this one....

What is the most common thing people say after entering heaven and looking at all the people? "Hey, what are you doing here?!?!"

Noah's Ark is being built in Williamstown KY as we speak:

Will it float when they are done? 90 million sure doesn't go as far as it use to. Anyone know what that would equal in Noah's time when adjusted for inflation.

We have actually had almost 14" of rain since Sunday. Our driveway was underwater last night for the first time since we have been here. The garden is a mess of weeds and drowned tomatoes. The hay is in the field - uncut and the pigs are living it up in mud up to their bellies.
