This is really getting depressing. Rain,rain,rain. This has got to be the worst spring here in southeast Pa. I can remember. I am just about going nuts from boredom. The last 3 weekends have been cloudy and rain, temps in the fifties and low sixties. Not the heavy or steady kind of rain just this cloudy damp misty with occasional shower stuff. :( The long range is calling for rain clean up till next thursday. Looks like we will get cheated out of our spring and go right into the hot humid days this area is known for. YUCK

Re: Bad weather

Our wet season FINALLY ended (I hope)<br />We went 40-some days straight with some kind of wetness...<br /><br />I gave up on my boat project until weather improves. <br />Now the weather cleared (went from winter to summer..skipped spring)..It's time for a vacation! To the coast for some crabbing and Salmon fishing :p <br /><br />I hoped to work on the boat during the winter, but I couldn't with the rain.<br /><br />Hang in there...It's gotta stop sometime!<br /><br />H.

Oh cry me a raging river :) What about your shop? I've seen the pictures of your Harley projects...<br />Maybe you've got so many classic bikes you can't fit in your shop anymore? Never thought of that! I changed my mind, you have my sympathies :) <br />No worries...<br />Summer's-a-comin'!

Re: Bad weather

sorry you all have to suffer it is a cloudless 70 degree day here with a light breeze only complaint is the # of boats on the water... somehow seems trivial to your woes

Re: Bad weather

Well....along the banks of the ol' Ohio River, it was a partial decent day. Went down to the daughters house for a cook out. Passed some ball with the rug rats and just generally had a quiet time with the off springs. My son-in-law Bill said he was goin' fishin' and asked me to go. I declined. Glad I did. It's rainin' buckets outside right now. Still hopin' for summer....maybe get here some day.

Re: Bad weather

I hear you flathead.<br /><br />Your getting what we had.<br /><br />Seems like the weather we get goes straight to Pa. :D <br /><br />Suppose to clear for a couple of days though and then more rain is in the forecast. :eek:

Re: Bad weather

Well guys, up here it hasn't rained all weekend (except late at night), but that chilly weather sure slows you down when trying to get stuff to dry. Taking forever to get my rig ready. <br /><br /> Wish the temp would get into the 70's. This 50 and 60 stuff is the perfect weather for grass/weeds to grow out of control. I actually for the first time had someone mow and trim my property for me. Got behind on my chores due to the broken boat syndrome.. :( It will be ready this week (I HOPE!).....SS

Re: Bad weather

As soon as they wake up and finish breakfast, we're goin' again today.<br /><br />Bad weather? DON'T CARE!,... life is too short to let it slip away. <br /><br />Today? sunny,... suposed to be 'bout 70ish. Heck, today we might even catch somethin'.<br /><br />see you guys tonight. the kids are starting to move.

Re: Bad weather

Been playing it day by day here today was supposed to be the worst and still no rain. Only got a little last night but it was scattered and on our drive home from the second day at the beach. I figure the wife only gets so many 3 day weekends while I am off all summer so lets do what she wants this weekend.

Re: Bad weather

You got rain,we got it in Ga. too. 10inches in 4 weeks. This weekend is not raining but rivers are overflowing,backwaters flooded,mud everywhere. Tried to fish sat.could hardly see the boat ramp. Dock was under water and for the first time ever I had trouble navigating because of high water, not knowing what was submerged you know. :eek:

Re: Bad weather

Sure would be nice to be a weatherman,........how many jobs can you keep just by being 50% correct most of the time. Just think if you were a doctor,...."Ma'am, I am 50% sure you are pregnant"!!!! Anybody know where I can go to weather-person school........my wife says I am right only about 50% of the time......wonder if I can use her as a reference. ;)
