I ain't never going to finish up my field test on the 350 or the AT PRO unless I do it in the house. Nothing but pouring rain here forever...

I think this will be a bastud winter like we had one year before when it started raining in September and didn't stop until July fourth. Talk about getting sick of rain. I came very near moving out of this saturated state that year. And my step-dad warned me when I first moved here ( as he knew I hated perpetual rain ) but like a big dummy I didn't listen. And to top it off I came from three sunshine states, California, Arizona, and Nevada where I lived for a good many years. So it was quite a shock. HA.

Back then service stations ( and they were real service stations then ) gave steak knives, green stamps, and other items, away with your purchase. I used to tell people that here in Oregon they gave away wiper blades instead. HA. Hope many of you are enjoying better weather.

Bill, Understand your frustration but like you here in the Great State of Califorainia it is the same. You have probably seen some of the nice flowing rivers where there was never that much water before. A positive note though about rain is that all things buried can be picked up easier after a rain then when the soil was dry. Seems like everything you see eventually makes it here to Califorainia. Good Luck in your rain hunts. Kevin

Buried in snow here in Michigan.
Well you must have wanted to live out there.

It will stop, Some day

Yeah I was there in 69 when California nearly floated away, all the freeways were flooded, and Lake Elsinore was twice its normal size. Had been to Vegas first to work but they were having such high winds it was blowing guys out of the high rises I planned on working in so that venture got cancelled. I remember when the Los Angeles, normally bone dry, concrete rivers were running brim full.

Hey Unc, If it doesn't get over ten foot deep, your a go. The AT Pro is water proof up to that.

I'm in Northern Oklahoma and we had some really nice weather all through the fall up until about a week before Christmas. Then you darn west coasters and Canadians sent down rain and arctic cold on our heads! But luckily they didn't both come at once and we haven't had any snow.......yet! But we have had a few nice suny days with highs into the sixties. My margin of tolerance for cold isn't what it was when I was younger so if it's below 40 I stay out of it. And speaking of rain, it's cloudy cold and miserable here today. So that's why I am here on the net with you guys. My daughter use to live in Washington state and they always complained about the rain. I went up to visit one Thanksgiving and it was warm and sunny for the whole week! But as soon as I left the bottom fell out. Guess I took the good weather with me? You are welcome to come to OK Willy where the economy is fairly good, the housing reasonable and the weather unpredictable but fairly nice most of the time. Of course there are some tornados in the Spring, but you get use to them. Onus

Yeah i've been in your fair state a few times and I was born and yanked up in Illinois so know all about the lousy weather and tornados. I got out of there early and went to California and lived in a town populated mostly by transplanted Okies, many who fled the state during the Dust Bowl of the thirties.. I'm sure the cost of living is much lower there. This place is one of the costliest in the nation and getting costlier.
