OMG - Enough with the rain already!
« on: June 24, 2014, 11:11:31 AM »
Can we please go like 4-5 days without rain please? My waterproof boots and gloves are starting to look like prunes! Have we gone like a week without rain yet this year? I mean, I'm okay with riding in the rain, but if I wanted to do that everyday I would have moved to the Pacific Northwet or something....  >:(

Still...it beats snow.  ;)

He's leaving R4 now.  The rain may follow.  That's my scientific prediction. :bigok:

Send it our way. If we had the same rain we've had for the past week, it'd still take us 2 or 3 years to recover from the 6 year drought.

I had nothing to do with it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

No rice pattys here but my lawn is looking like the north woods of Wisconsin.

I just dug up a broken pipe in my backyard running from the gutter, underground to the back of my yard. It had somehow pooped through to the grass (not buried) and cracked, causing a tripping hazard for kids. With the new flexible pipe (perforated with a bubbler at the end for serious downfalls), the grass is not so pretty, lots of dirt over the grass and spots that need to fill in. Rain is welcome this week.

I don't think we have gone more than 5 days in a row without some form or precipitation falling from the sky since the beginning of the year. This calls for drastic measures, so, I am fitting Anakee3's to the GS (they are supposedly good in the rain). Now that I have good rain tires, it should ensure a draught shortly.
