Even more so for the jocks and Irish!

I get plenty of riding in the rain practice here, but it's not as cold as Blighty and doesn't rain for hours and hours or days and days. Can't say that I miss riding on ice or heavy frost.

Oh, you as well! Sorry L, I'd forgotten about you, coz you're ex-pat as well aren't you? My appologies.

Oh, I see, you thought that I'd meant you didn't you? The thought had never crossed my mind. LMFAO!

Today is my day off and sure enough, it's going to be heavy T-storms today. Maybe I'll buy a waverunner for these conditions.

I cannot believe the rain has yet to subside my area. I did learn one thing from this last 3 weeks, Accuweather sux, Bay News 9 rules, what a difference between the two. Accuweather shows rain off the coast and Bay News 9 showed it at my doorstep. Stopped at the local pub seeing the rain headed our way few miles from the house. One guy had the accuweather app on his phone which showed nothing near, the other guy had Bay News 9 app on his phone and showed rain on our doorstep. Ordered a bucket of brew, said I'll be back in 15 mins and went home for the truck...lmbo
Just a lil input for those in my area...

Could you please take your rain back, it rained all of Friday afternoon and evening, all of yesterday afternoon and today I was utterly drenched on the turnpike all the way to my house, and had to undress in the garage I was soaked to the skin.

My son is at school in Fort Myers and rode home in the rain Friday night so he could put the bike on the jack and wash and detail his bike this weekend.

He decided to go back this morning rather than fight the front again going back across Alligator Alley yesterday afternoon and evening. (and keep his bike clean longer than a day)

He is definitely not a fair weather rider.

We haven't had too much rain here the past few days. It's threatened but nothing to complain about.

The sky is blue and I'm going on a PGR mission shortly.
