Man, I hope this isn't going to be a repeat of last summer where it rained every time I wanted to do something. So far 2012 is pissing me off.

You have to admit this winter was one of the best on record unless you like snow.

Who cares about last winter?

This time of the year I only get so many days I can pull the Z out of the garage and go somewhere for a good long ride. At 3:00 it looked like the heavy line of squalls up north was gonna be here and where I wanted to go by 5. Not a big fan of driving in downpours in the Z just to go somewhere where no one would be anyway due to rain. Just kind of pissed me off.

BTW the weather channel future radar is never right.

No rain in my basement. Come drink beer

I ended up installing my new headliner in the Z. So that's good

Maybe beers tomorrow night?

I've decided that rain won't hurt my car, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive it lately.

I have the same problem, but it gets to the point where I just say screw it and do it anyway. Dropped the transmission in the rain on Thursday...

Love me some rain! Good for business.

Would be nice if it didn't rain on weekends though.

Eh, compared to earlier this week the weekend has been great. Little early morning rain this morning helped bring the humidity down a little bit. Hopefully the clouds break and it turns into a nice day. I'm with you though, I hope it isn't a real rainy summer.

I'm hearing rumbles again, looks like another thunderstorm on the way. I got more of the siding scrubbed down yesterday and went out in the boat for an hour before a flash of lightning scared me off the river.

yeah, all the rain earlier in the week around here was lunchtimeish and created a pile of work at the baseball fields every day top make them playable. Stupid rain.

Wow, it's raining again with thunder and lightning all over and people on the golf course across the street just keep playing! Iv'e seen several trees on the course hit by lightning so it amazes me people are ok risking their lives by playing golf in a storm.

Yep, I missed the rain Sunday afternoon too, I was helping my friend put up his lift in Surf City, and watched the thunderstorm pass over the Lacey Twp area. Crazy fast moving storm.

Yeah, I was planning on taking the skiff out for a run after work and making some adjustments to the trailer while the boat was in the water, but of course it started storming just as I got home from work.

And... we have several days of rain here in scenic Hackettstown. My lawn is only nearly knee high, no big deal.

Anyone have a machette I can borrow, as I'll need one at this rate.

With all the crap weekends (Heat-Humidity-Rain) I have been to only 1 car show. No big deal, but it gets annoying that every weekend, all you have time for is cutting the lawn (sweating my balls off) and watching the storms develop.:rofl:

I was out on the golf course Thursday when a storm popped up. We had 5 guys on a golf cart racing back to the clubhouse. It almost tipped over several times and we got wet, but nobody got hurt. Lightning just exploded everywhere. It rained so hard the 18th hole was completely covered in water. But we went back out after it cleared through and the course actually drained pretty well. But it's time to mow the lawn, again!

Driving home from work, swerved to miss a big ass puddle and the typical asshat tailgating me took it as a chance to zoom around, oh sweet karma.

And then right outside of work there was a car stuck in a lake on the road, that was interesting, rain makes everyone forget what shreds of driving skills they had left.

What is this rain that you speak of?

I was out on the river yesterday when it started to look iffy. My luck has been terrible this year so I headed back to the dock and I suddenly remembered I left the windows open in the house. Like usual, I was about 2 minutes too late. At least I got the lawn mowed and a bunch of vines, shrubs, branches cut back, cleaned up and dumped before the next round of rain showed up.

Finally got a change to mow the lawn yesterday. I think I heard my ride on mower crying and yelling, "Game over, man! Game over! What are we going to do now?!"

Grass was tall enough to make the mower bog down, which I have *never* had happen before. Had to cut at the lowest speed setting, with 1/2 deck width cuts, or it probably would've stalled out.

when it's like that you got to raise the blade height real high. you might have to cut again a few days later at the normal level.

The_Bishop
08-13-2012, 02:06 PM
Did that. Actually, I always cut with the deck high, as I have clay soil and I was informed that this will help to develop roots in dirt that occasionally resembles concrete.
