Starting to get pretty sick of rain. The Ohio River is flooding for the second time in two weeks. Mud slides are taking out roads, trees, power poles, and even a cemetery.

I'm a thinking there's a whole lot of people that feel the same way. Here in PA. we're dealing with rain and high winds. Trying to figure out a way to permanently mount a sail and umbrella on the flintlock.

Thought you were taking about where I live in the PNW, I feel for you, actually been a fairly dry spring so far compared to some past years, you'll know you've had enough rain when you start growing webs between your fingers and toes! :lol sign

Well Al, you're welcome to come back up and fish the creek here, but you better bring your fastest boat. :laughing

It rains here every time I make a plan for anything.
My grandma is here visiting and I'd like to take her out and see a few things, but it'll just be rain or wind that I can show her. Guess we'll drink coffee and play cards some more!
