Rain Stinks !! Had plans to go to Chevell-abration, but had to spend too much on motor, so those changed. Then we decided to stay closer to home (only 2 1/2 hour drive) and go to the Super Chevy Show.
Now here comes the friggin rain. I have everything on hold, even cancelled hotel reservations, and am watching the weather like a hawk. And it don't look good, 40% chance of rain/thunderstorms on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I am keeping my fingers crossed.

And not just our lives, but the lives of those who: watch our kids, stay at the house while we are gone, the brother who trailers the car.
Friggin rain !!

It is one of those things that I have waited so long for this moment, that I don't want to wait anymore.

I know the feeling. You wait all year to do something and the rain or other things change your plans. It doesn't look like my car will be done in time for the July show here. I have so look forward to have it there. It suppose to stop raining tomorrow morning here and summer is going to start this weekend. We will see. We will hope the rain stays away for you.

Oh yeah. the rain gets me too. See, my garage is in the back yard, detached from the house. In order to get my Chevelle in/out, I have to go through the lawn, and a few parts of my yard turn into a souphole EVERY time it rains...for days. I took my car out once too early, and underneath, it looked like I went mudriding. Even if it is a nice day, if my yard isn't dry, my car is stuck in the garage.

Just a bit of wit mixed with wisdom.
If it were confucious it would have been something like, a man in a rainstorm without an umbrella ends up taking a bath without a tub.
Confusion would have been if rain makes you wet, why is there dry ice?

They claim the clouds will break up, sun will come out and get to around 82. Of course there's a light mist falling right now and no signs of these clouds going anywhere soon.

You really should go to the Northern Ohio Chevelle Show ,I will be there again this year(my 4th year). They are great hosts and put on one hell of a show. If you go bring toys for Toys For Tots for extra door prize tickets. If I have to miss a show it wont be Northern Ohio.

Hey, no rain today, yet. Cloudy all day but managed to get the lawn cut before the next wave of rain comes through tonight. Looks like all the west coast rain has settled here.

More rain today again and for the rest of the week. Maybe I will stay home tomorrow and work on the Chevelle. So far on one day this year above 80 degress. I agree no tan this year, just rust.
Just heard we have set a record for the wettest June on record. 4.31 inches so far this month and it is snowing at pass levels around 4000 feet. We hit a whopping 57 degrees today.

Ray, if you're starting to rust you need to start using an umbrella.

I hope the rain in Oregon tapers off by mid next month for the Chevelle show. We plan to be there anyway.
