Weather and truck progress
AS soon as I get on the downhill run with my truck, it decides to rain for weeks in a row here in Florida. The rain can really slow some things down. We are ten inches above normal average yearly rainfall here in Florida. I haven't even ridden my motorcycle in six weeks or so. I am so sick of this rain, it's like Seattle here this year with a lot harder rainfall.
Now if it did this all summer and snowed all winter I guess I'd really be PO'ed

btw, today there is a stupid tropical wave passing us by, so here comes another three inches of rain. That will go nicely with the seven we got on Saturday and the two or three inches since then.
I may have to get Ed at MotherTruckers to start restoring boats.

Yeah, same thing up here. The sun stayed out yesterday long enough for me to do 3 sections of sheetrock in my garage.

same here in western NC. We are breaking all the records. I think someone said the other day that out of the past 2-3 months there have been like 6 or 7 days with no rain.

Know what you mean. I think we actually had 3 days in a row, finally, without rain here on the MS coast. Real pain! especially since the 3 dry days of course were NOT the weekend.
