It rained here! Well, we got about 2 minutes of sprinkles. The ground got wet enough that 2 seconds after the rain drop hit you couldn't tell where it landed...
 
That sounds like a lot of fun! What kinda protein are you throwing on the grill?
We're doing chicken kabobs and street corn. The wife and boys made a cake too!
 
I will being doing about the same, wife opted for burgers, i do have 20 lbs. of ANFO, 1/2 stick of DM and a pack of sparklers going off later...lol

We just expect that here. 😁
Yessir! I lived in Western Washington for a couple years. People would actually call each other to tell them if the sun came out. I just thought to myself, "Lord get me back home "
 
Been tying to sleep with little luck since I have to work tonight. Guess I’m mainlining caffeinated beverages. Since I couldn’t sleep fussed a little with the tank . Finally got another dedicated scraper after the other one broke. Nice and clear. Also bought a package of hand towels specifically for wiping the glass .
