The rain has caused serious damage to the Oklahoma wheat crop this year due to timing.

Seriously doesn't the wheat crop have some type of serious problem every year...rain, drought, bugs,etc...

That just reveals a predisposed fascination with proctology on your part...

The contractors working on my projects really don't like it. They have had to postpone the last 4 concrete pours, they have the forms of the wall panels built for one buildings and 110,000sf of building slab just sitting there holding water on the prepared foundation.

In some places that aren't God's country it sure does. Up here we have a bumper crop with high prices and no problems.

I'm a painter (not like Picasso) and we've been working on an exterior paintjob since monday last week. After only getting 3 days work last week, we spent monday this week attaching 2 30x50ft tarps to the south and east sides of the house. If the rain continues next week, we'll have to move the tarps to the other half of the house. btw....attaching those tarps in a way that will keep them from either blowing away or pulling the facial board off the house entirely takes almost a full days labor.

When the sun shines long enough, the lawn mowers are going to be really busy trying to catch up.

Yup. The oil companies have lost money cause no one is mowing. Sad really.

Land surveyors and builders of all kinds are effected, can't even pour the concrete until the property is properly surveyed and the boundaries are set.

Jerk if you switch to a reefer or a dry van I can put you right to work ;)

Yeah, but then you will probably send me to somewhere like NYC where I will explode.

My truck doesn't have a sleeper:

I feel sorry for messican landscape maintenance engineers. Last week, I watched a poor messican guy running a weed-whacker wearing a slicker in the pouring rain. That must be miserable in this soggy heat.

Lumber sales were for sure down last week at my company. I'm a dispatch supervisor and we didn't run much lumber out last week...but we ran a lot of doors and trim out.

Drivers need sleep? ;)

I understand if your wife actually likes having you around that it might be in your best interests to stay close to home. :D

Oh and I don't send any driver into that hell hole that is known as NYC. After you pay for the toll roads and extra permits and all the other BS they charge drivers for, then those chintzy bastages take advantage of the glut of trucks stuck there and won't pay more than a dollar a mile to haul anything out of there.
