I just have to say it...I'M FREAKIN' SICK OF THE GODDAMN RAIN!
I planned on using the last three days to build decks and work outdoors, and I'm going stir crazy. The wife is at a conference, I don't even have a dog or cat to talk to...and it won't stop raining. That's all. Back to politics now.

1. :hug: we've had rain almost daily for two months but luckily they are
mostly evening showers so we still managed to get some outside work done

4. Please send it here! I don't know where you are, and I'm sorry you're
getting deluged. I'd gladly take your over-abundance of rain -- I'm in a rural area surrounded by forest in extreme drought conditions. Every day I worry that my house and everything I own is going to go up in flames if some idiot throws a cigarette out their car window in the wrong place on the highway.

Ecological inbalance sucks -- and it's something we're all having to deal with.

6. Connecticut. It's been raining for three days, more tomorrow.
I finally risked life and limb and worked on the deck anyway, rolling around in the mud with electric power tools (tested the GFI's first!). Now all my tools are crapped out and muddy, my clothes are wasted...and it's still raining! Ironically, one of the things I didn't get to do was install an outdoor shower.

9. I'm glad you're safe. Personally, it makes me too nervous to use power
tools in the rain. I just do indoor projects (always plenty of those) when it's wet outside. And I SO wish it would get wet outside SOON! It's really nerve-wracking to be in a drought when you live in the middle of the woods.

You have my sympathy -- one thing about weather, it always changes eventually...

11. We had almost SEVEN WEEKS OF IT
here in New Mexico this summer. We've got washed out roads, new arroyos in housing developments, collapsed roofs and flooded houses with people losing everything. Who has flood insurance in the goddamned desert?

It's finally stopped. Now all I have to do is finish chopping all those shoulder high weeds in my yard.
