its been raining straight for 3 days..... ruined the boating plans this weekend....

Sally has been stretching her lop-sided east side to keep the Florida Suncoast wet.

had enough rain and moisture to get mildew going on a bunch of stuff in the garage....Tam left the garage door open Friday during the heavy rains.....currently running the garage AC to try to dry it out... will end up spending a week cleaning it all.

isnt there a song lyric.... aint seen the sunshine in 3 damn days.....

thats all.......

Up here in central Florida, we've had pretty much zero rain over the last several days. We even had to water the garden and trees. Sally is definitely lopsided. :rolleyes:

I feel the pain. Another weekend of the boat sitting next to house looking at me like, "really, dude?"
