Yes, you are welcome, Philly Metro- and surrounding area...

Anytime....

A little while ago, I went riding. The sky was kinda 'iffy' looking and the second I got Storm saddled, it started to spit a little rain. We went under the branches of a tree for a minute and it stopped.

I stood there, looking at the sky, trying to hear my gut's opinion, when my head reminded me that I could control this if I wanted to and I did, so I did.

I kept it from raining from about 3:00pm, til it did finally let go around 6:00pm, simply by wearing a hell-hot 90 pound duster while I rode. It's a heavy, hot, water and air proof, nearly ankle length coat that is made to keep saddles dry, among other things.

If I hadn'ta worn it, it woulda rained it's balls off, probably starting around 3:30/3:45pm, whenever it would have been that I was three or more fields away. BUT... heh.. I got ready for that, so it didn't happen.

Sorry I couldn't keep the duster on and thus keep it from raining longer, but I hadda come in and cook dinner.

Now, if ya ever need it to rain, you can just let me know. To make it rain, all's I hafta do is wash my hair and step out from under the carport. The harder ya need it to rain, the further I'll go from the house.

I oughta charge by the foot for that. I hate gettin' rained on.

3 I'll see what I can get arranged for ya's...

Two or three days ago, when I was out riding, I was noticing how dry the streams and ponds were getting. This one dry spot had cracks in it like the Bonneville Salt Flats and I said, outloud, "Ya know, God, I almost hate to say this, but, we really do need to rain hard for about 3 days, it looks like."

So it has.

Scary, almost.

4 Heh heh...I love it that where you live, they're called carports. It's little things like that that I always get a little chuckle out of in regards to people living in different parts of the country. Very cool. (Yea, I'm dorky that way.)
