I've been sitting here on the boat since late Thursday morning. I planned
to leave yesterday to go home to do a few chores, but I rode the bike down
here and it's been down-pouring all weekend.

I keep looking at the local radar for this area, looking for a break in
the
rain/Tstorm bands where I could make a run for it. No significant breaks
yet.

Might have to suck it up, put on the rain slicker hanging in the closet
and
go for a wet, 45 mile ride.

It'll be a good test of the raingear. Go for it. Think of me when that
first trickle starts down your back or your trousers. Good luck!

Made it home fine, although it poured all the way. I wore the yellow rain
gear I had on the boat (trousers with the bib and suspenders and the jacket)
and was perfectly dry. Only problem was slow moving traffic going over the
Sagamore Bridge (Cape Cod Canal). I didn't realize until I got home that
one leg of the rubberized trousers was in contact with one of the exhaust
pipes every time I had to put my foot down. The rest of the ride was 55-60
mph in torrential downpours.

Tomorrow's project is to scrape off all the yellow rubber stuck on the
pipes.
