They're really going strong today. Had to get my back yard mowed before rain set in and they were everywhere. The trunk and limbs of a cherry tree is completely covered with them. Finished up and thought I'd have a bit of fun so I turned the water hose on 'em......all fun and games till they decided to come land on me!!

They are going strong here in my area of western Ky also. Sounds like a major gas line leak all day. I can hear them from inside the house today for the first time. Sure would be a great time to be on the water with a fly rod and popping bug...no telling what ya could catch. Had the wife in hospital since last wednesday with bad infection, she is doing better and should be out tomorrow or tuesday. Going to put the boat batterys on chargers so when I get her home I can give it a go.

They feed the fish that about the only thing they good for. Starting to get dusk here so they are slacking off quite a bit.
