rant: rain
I really hate the rain when it comes down at the rate of 4 inches in 2 hours
I need a boat to get out of my house

Re: rant: rain
This prompted a call to my folks who live probably about 3 blocks from there. Their basement floods alot and they are getting too old to deal with that, luckily they said they stayed dry. They went out to eat at a place not far from their house this evening and said a 10 minute drive took them 40 minutes.
Sounds like about 4-6pm this evening mike?

Re: rant: rain
I've traced a stench in my house to it's source - my running shoes that were soaked in sweat, rain, dew. 3 different pairs - now in the garage, but I can still smell them thru the door -and since we are probably 73.21% immune to our own stink - it's got to be bad.
When I'm done running I usually leave them on the porch to air dry -and sometimes stuff with newspaper or paper towels and a dryer sheet. But it's so damn humid that it might as well be raining on the porch. Now they are in the garage. I even washed a pair and they still stink.
First world problems. I know I can't replace jim with betching about weather, but someone has to try.

Re: rant: rain
The water is up over the road to my cabin. That is going to but a serious damper on my planned BBQ and sex fueled weekend at the river. This rain can go right to hell.

Sandbagging as foreplay.
