Rain!

[Shorts]

Rain,

Thanks for stopping by for the weekend, and then some. I really appreciate the help you've been to the yard, here and all across the state. But really, it'd be great if you spread out your visits to more manageable trips. I got things I need to do outside. The yard, for one. It's bad. Really. I'd also like to go ride my motorcycle. Haven't really got to do that much and well I could use the stress relief. Oh, and you're also reeking havoc on my holster finishes. Your humidity in the air saturates my leather and it doesn't dry like it needs to. Even with nice warm circulating air, the dye doesn't like you.

Anyway, anytime now will work. I really have things to do. Again, I appreciate what you do, but please, be reasonable.

Thanks,
Monica

I really wish yall would send some of that rain up here to Amarillo.

I have to agree.
The dog has started quacking - LOL!!!

I'll do my best to send it your way

After our arid summer, I will not complain about the rain and resultant humidity. I can tolerate a bit of mud until our resevoirs get full again. I might consider grumbling about it then.

Well, I've been reluctant to complain, rain is good. The humidity complaint is not for my comfort, but for my items. I don't want to send out terribly finished leather. And I'm on deadline.

I too am a bit reluctant to complain, but as Short's said, enough is enough. Give it a rest for 10 days, then come back for an inch or two, then beat it again.
I've got mushrooms growing in my shrub beds

When we got this last spell of rain I discovered a roof leek in my closet. If it will stay stopped for the rest of the day I can go on the roof tonight and caulk it. I hope I can I have flashing and caulk to keep me dry but I can't put it up in the rain! LOL

I'd also like to go ride my motorcycle. Haven't really got to do that much and well I could use the stress relief.

I hear ya ... Luckily I thought to put some Sta-Bil in the tank and run some through the fuel system, and I keep the battery on a tender so it stays ready to crank. I prepped it thinking it might only be a week like the forecast said - so much for that.

Motorcycling in the rain is pretty fun, actually. I don't know why people don't like it.

Much better than riding in 110 degree heat, that's for sure.

Because I have one hand and I can't wipe my visor The temps are good for riding now. Won't have to buy summer gear until next year which saves us a bundle. We can comfortably use our heavy leathers with liners and Draggin' jeans


We've ridden in rain, washouts and floods in Japan. I'd prefer a dual sport to a road bike if we're doing that on the norm

 

[M. Sage]

Yeah, that would make riding in the rain a PITA. My left hand seems to spend almost as much time clearing my visor as it does on the handlebars in the rain.

I finally got to bring mine to work today. Ran out some of the crappy gas and then filled 'er up. It bitched at me a little bit when starting it up this morning, but after the fresh gas started running through it later it was back to its beastly self. Sunday is looking good so far - I'm looking forward to putting some miles on the sides of the tires!

(p.s. - any Houston area folks wanna ride to Joel's BBQ in Flatonia for lunch? Or just meet there with folks from others parts?)

Oh ain't that the truth! My poor tires look sad taking that highway beating. I NEED to find some real twisty roads. I've seen some sites saying "twisty" when describing some of the roads around here, they aren't "twisty" (I got videos to show twisty!). We're headed out in a bit to go north today. I've found a few routes we're going to try. But I really really miss those mountains in Japan.

Hah, having moved here from Northern California I've got to say that anybody who claims the roads here are "twisty" is dreaming.

I miss my Miata, but it would have been boring on these roads.

lol Yes they are. I think they ride cruisers

ROFL! That's mean. But true!

Ok I admit, that was a low blow. And for the record we have one in the garage. My SV will effortlessly run away from the Vulcan and Tim's been lamenting getting rid of the Duc ST2.

Yeah, but we don't have cliffs to fall off of.

About the closest you'll get to twisty roads in Texas is heading over to Arkansas. They actually do have some nice twisty 2-lanes.

Oooh, this is my 999th post!
