Heh... It hadn't rained here in weeks.

RIGHT up until my customer picked up his '74 Merc 1500 repowered '94
Bilgeliner Deckboat on Friday. (the original Force outboard failed and he
decided to power it right this time

Then *after* he bought gas, oil, live bait, ice, beer, etc etc and we headed
out on the lake for a shakedown cruise.... the skies opened..... and stayed
open all night long. We got 1.25 inches of rain. We needed it... but it
sure sucked for him. The rain held up just long enough for me to tweak it
and get back to my car at the ramp.

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.
