Rain.

Man, I hope this isn't going to be a repeat of last summer where it rained every time I wanted to do something. So far 2012 is pissing me off.

You have to admit this winter was one of the best on record unless you like snow.

Who cares about last winter?

This time of the year I only get so many days I can pull the Z out of the garage and go somewhere for a good long ride. At 3:00 it looked like the heavy line of squalls up north was gonna be here and where I wanted to go by 5. Not a big fan of driving in downpours in the Z just to go somewhere where no one would be anyway due to rain. Just kind of pissed me off.

BTW the weather channel future radar is never right.

I ended up installing my new headliner in the Z. So that's good

Maybe beers tomorrow night?

I've decided that rain won't hurt my car, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive it lately.

I have the same problem, but it gets to the point where I just say screw it and do it anyway. Dropped the transmission in the rain on Thursday...

Love me some rain! Good for business.

Would be nice if it didn't rain on weekends though.

Eh, compared to earlier this week the weekend has been great. Little early morning rain this morning helped bring the humidity down a little bit. Hopefully the clouds break and it turns into a nice day. I'm with you though, I hope it isn't a real rainy summer.

I'm hearing rumbles again, looks like another thunderstorm on the way. I got more of the siding scrubbed down yesterday and went out in the boat for an hour before a flash of lightning scared me off the river.

yeah, all the rain earlier in the week around here was lunchtimeish and created a pile of work at the baseball fields every day top make them playable. Stupid rain.

Wow, it's raining again with thunder and lightning all over and people on the golf course across the street just keep playing! Iv'e seen several trees on the course hit by lightning so it amazes me people are ok risking their lives by playing golf in a storm.

Yep, I missed the rain Sunday afternoon too, I was helping my friend put up his lift in Surf City, and watched the thunderstorm pass over the Lacey Twp area. Crazy fast moving storm.
