@$#%!!!!! Rain
« on: May 31, 2018, 04:41:26 AM »
Not sure if you are aware of whats going on in our area, but this is getting really old.

Rain in forecast:

Today - 1/2"
Tomorrow - 1/4"
Saturday - 1.5"
Sunday - 1/4"

all that after several weeks of rain on and off.   I get to ride once a week.  >:( >:(

Rant off :)

 Been on vacation for two weeks. It's rained Every. Single. Day.
 Sometimes all day, sometimes just showers, but enough to screw up any plans.

 Like, when you look at the forecast and decide not to ride because it says 65% chance of rain.... and the sun shines for hours. But don't worry! There's a torrential downpour coming, even if it only lasts ten minutes.

Yep, feeling your angst. My #2 son is home on liberty and all he/we wanted to do was ride. All we got was a Saturday ride in with my eldest and 4 other buddies. Since then, its galoshes and umbrellas.  >:( I feel like I'm living in Scotland for Pete's Sake  ::)

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Put grass seed down on all those bare spots and get your mower in tip top shape because you are going to need it! Get your precious stuff to high ground.

For the last week it seems like it has been rain or 90 degrees (today both, rain early followed by 90 degree heat and 90% humidity later). Where is my sunshine and 75 that should come between winter and summer?

Believe it or not but it's chucking it down almost every day here, in the south of France. And impressive thunder and lightning to go with it. I can remember having unbroken sunshine here from April to October. I don't know what's going on at all, at all.

No rain down here.
