Looks like no rain tomorrow! All last week the forecast predicted rain for
Sunday. This morning it improved.
I was a skeptic but now I am a believer. Thanks, Katie & Peggy!

I might stay dry, but my car likes getting wet even less than I do.
And after years of riding motorcycles when I was too poor to own a car, I've
had more than my share of being miserable, cold and wet. Don't need any more
of _that_ experience, thank you very much!
I'll still make it if it's dry, but I'm not counting on that happening.
See you in the sunshine,

micheal, micheal, micheal,
even though we dont have those new fangled "roll-up windows" like those
softie production cars, we dont have to wear rain suits of oiled hide and
pig's bladder anymore. (thats what my roof is made of!)
james has a phat rain suit made from 'plastic' from a hardware store-
$14.99!! 100% waterproof.
or for the elite, GORETEX.
