    Rain every frickin day

    Well here we are back to our daily rain. every day between 2 and five.

    soooo today thought I would beat it got out at 9. Not a chance, started raining at 10. I have no where to put my FEDEX boxes inside, so naturally they get shredded in the rain. Been trying to get these boxes out for 2 weeks.



    Sorry had to yell at someone.

    Moving to AZ may solve you rain issues. I get your weather leftovers(coastal N.C.) Mike

    May want to rethink that. They got floods today.

    Yea..don't move to AZ for no rain. LOL. They flood out a lot. 3 inches just shut down half of I-10 out there.

    Yes it's the desert folks, but it does rain there! It's not the Sahara afterall.

    They flood so much out there Tucson has a stupid tax as they call it. If you drive through a flooded road, or tunnel, an the fire dept has to come save your silly ass it's like a 250 fine. Hobo can confirm if they still do this, I know they did when I was last living out there.

    Oh an Phoenix sucks. If the city were to wash away I'd be sad for the people but glad for the chance to rebuild. I really dislike Phoenix. Like..really..really..dislike.

    Tucson an the rest of the state is wonderful tho. But to hell with Phoenix.

    An Olddude, Miked said it better, but..keep your rain to yourself! Your ruining my nice an sunny beach days.

    Sirscrapalot - A rainy day on the sandbar is still better then anywhere else.

    olddude.....it's amazing that we live so close together and have such different rain patterns right now. Before yesterday's wonderful 2 inch rain it had been 36 days since a rain on my peanuts. Maybe I should set out some FedEx boxes...lol

    I do know how it is though, last year was a solid rain cloud and I was dealing with the exact same thing you are now.

    Yep, lots of rain here too. I do have some work I need to do indoors, but the outdoor pile is bigger and unruly. Was hoping to save the indoor work for later in the year.

    I usually don't mind working in the rain. Today it rained all day, an I didn't work in it. I just stayed around the house an was lazy. I did break a few things down in the shop, but just felt like a good day to do nothing more then play with the facemunchers, an enjoy being lazy.

    I'll make up for it tomorrow with a 18 hour day I'm sure, but it was nice just relaxing an watching the storms roll through.

    I now blame Olddude for all the rain I get. It's obviously Florida's fault.

    Next time I'm down that way I'm gonna be busy with the cooler...Olddude, 56, happy, an all the other Floridians down there! It'll be worth a day of not visiting the Mouses Kingdom to share the cooler with you lot.

    Sirscrapalot - Cooler is stocked, owner is armed...take at your own risk.
