OK ENOUGH WITH THE RAIN. It has rained every day since last Monday Sept 14th.

[..]

I've vacummed the house, got the bread maker going, lubed the chain on the KLR, polished the KLR and ST, chased the dog who slid outside when I wasn't watching, taken cold medicine - one of the joys of driving a school bus, got some loud music playing - no immediate neighbours. I'm the only house of the right  of my street , toying with the idea of going out for lunch, load of whites washing and pre packing for the FCR

AND WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO IS RIDE ONE OF MY BIKES.

Yeah I know some of you will ride in the rain for fun. I've done too many 10's of thousands of miles for it to be fun anymore.

Now, now. Who was it crying for rain last year. Ya'll about sucked Lake Lanier dry and now your complaining bout a little rain. boohoo. (know the feeling mate, been getting record rainfalls around here and not nearly enough riding time in)

I have a bunch of maintenance to do to the Valkyrie, and all the parts are here... but I didn't
feel like hanging out in the pole barn in the rain all weekend... so I stayed inside and
colored... 





Good luck to all the CBR people who have to ride in the rain...

I put in about 200 miles in last Monday and I never got rained on once. Went to Steamer's favorite place in Tiger Ga and sent him a picture of a chilli burger like he usually gets just to rub it in.   
I rode to Highlands on 64 stopped at Dry Falls on the way. Took 28 to Warwoman road then back to 441 and headed home.




I'm hoping for a repeat in the morning

same here Paul...it has rained for so many days i've lost track. Only break we got from rain...was by going up to CBR in Indyaner'! But it rained all the way back home...rained last night...100% chance today...and 50/50 chance each day this week!

but after the last three years of drought, i for one aint gonna' complain! But it does put a damper on riding...........

Nice work on the cartoons....if you ever decide to give up the IT gig..I think you could possibly be another Garry Trudeau or Gary Larson.

I agree it is getting old, but...

after the drought, I am not yet ready to complain. 

Mike Marshall - a man with many talents. Did you see his cartoon? Cool. 

The North Georgia Motorcycle Club ride was rained out on Sunday. I did enjoy rolling over and going back to sleep briefly. Then the wife said we had to get up and watch the president on all the morning shows.... 

Here is the NGAMC before on ride 9.5.09

I've vacummed the house, got the bread maker going, lubed the chain on the KLR, polished the KLR and ST, chased the dog who slid outside when I wasn't watching, taken cold medicine - one of the joys of driving a school bus, got some loud music playing - no immediate neighbours. I'm the only house of the right  of my street , toying with the idea of going out for lunch, load of whites washing and pre packing for the FCR

Pre packing for the FCR.  Paul, its an overnighter and it's a month away!  Maybe Stanley could take you antique hunting with him

Gotta learn how to carry stuff on the KLR.

I think the time for being philosophical about the rain is over. Today all the fire ants
in South Carolina decided that inside my mailbox was the only dry place left. I pulled up
to the box, yanked out a folded manila envelope, and so many fire ants dumped out
on my shirt it looked like a disturbed mound...

Looks like ya'll are getting some of what we had back in the spring; 18-24" in 36 hours. Flooding like we'd never had before.

[..]

Today Saturday Sept 26th it rained. Rain, rain, rain.

The town of Austell, GA has lost about 50% of its homes to the recent flooding.

We have had a 1 in 100 year flooding in the northern half of GA.

The Yellow River near Covington GA normally runs at 5 feet deep. IT WAS 16 FEET OVER THAT last week.

May just see ya up that way. I am a volunteer disaster relief coordinator from our area of south Alabama. We have been requested to come up that way to help with the clean-up. Don't know when or where yet.
