The skies opened up the first week of June and it seems like someone forgot to turn off the tap.

22.8" at the house in June alone.

15.35" in July and another 1.25" today so far. The radar is showing more on the way.

I'm guessing we will probably top out around 40" total from June 1st through tonight. I keep trying to convince myself  that this is seasonal weather. Been down here 40 years in Sept. but the summers are getting tougher to deal with.

Just put a new battery in the Fat Gurl and was able to get a quick half hour ride in between the showers.

It sure felt good  :cooldude: :cooldude:

Only about 3 more months of summer to go. Come on cool weather, I'm ready.

Hey Jeff

Great to see you checking in, hope all is good down south, other than the rain.
Hope you can get some more riding time soon, we need to set something up a little more south so you can meet us :cooldude: :cooldude:

I'll be paddling up that way sometime soon I hope.

Jack if you ride too far south the only hills you'll see are ditch banks and fire ant mounds :D

Ah yes, similar problems here. Havn't driven bike for most of the year. Short run to McDonalds 2 1/2 miles or a mile or two up the road once. Havn't put 50 miles on. Wifes condition is poor needs help getting around, Alzyimers issues creaping in. Real downer for me, We are same age, been married at 20, 55 yrs. Real guilt complex if i go off enjoying myself. Would sure enjoy a nice run in cooler weather. Hope I can work something out ,realy enjoyed that run up north we did, keep me in mind, may be able to get away sometime.

Sorry to hear this Mel. We are moving to Sarasota in October from Palmetto (keeping the cottage) Sherry retires from -was GTE to Verizon now Frontier to become care giver for my mom and her mom - my mom has alzheimers but Dad is still good and gets around well, her mom is 5miles from my parents and is on oxygen from many years of smoking.
