Another Rainy Day

I know its only spring and better days are just around corner but so far it seems everytime I get a day off it has been raining. I am ready to ride rather than just looking at the bike sitting there. Too bad Harley doesn't sell boats!

Looking at the radar picture looks like you may get a little of the rain. They have swept most of the cinders off the road and the rain has washed most of the salt dust off so we should be good to go when the sun comes out. Sweet looking bike you have there!

I hear ya. I'll take the rain over the snow though. It dries up quicker and no sand and salt on the road.

They swept the streets here two weeks ago and then it snowed. I think that they dumped more salt and crap in two days last week than they did all winter!!!

I know exactly what you mean, it has been raining daily here in Illinois. Plus, I am on vacation this week and my daughter is here from West Virginia on spring break and has been nothing but cloudy rainy days so far. I guess it could always be worse. I could be at work and not get to see my daughter.

It snowed last weekend here in Iowa, so I started this project. After a week of working on it every night, I am finally done. it is 44" x 76". It was a pain in the azz, I don't recommend doing it.
