Gotta add the morons that drive in the rain on track without their headlights on. The lights give you a reference point of where they are located through the spray

There...I feel better now.

Welcome to the joys of home ownership. Hope you get the issues sorted out, and they didn't cause drywall damage.

I spent over $1k and close to 10 years trying to fix a roof leak. Finally found a contractor that knew what he was doing. Fixed it for $150.

If you are looking for used gear, try ADVRider. I can't believe how much stuff is available in the classifieds. I got the boots and Olympia suit from there. (Have to join the site to see the classifieds.)
Can I row over there in my boat sometime to see your boots?
I actually want boots (not gloves) but I have not found anything soft enough at the ankle so my ankle can be bent for hours at a time. Now, truth be told I have never tried real mcy boots, and maybe that's what I need to try, any kind of regular boot or shoe going over ankle I have tried was never bendable enough.

Is there a fee to join?

My sump pump has been running more this year than any other year.

Come on over. I have 2 pair that you can try.

If i can get the VFR going, I may ride to the autocross Sunday. You could check them out there.

No fee at ADVRider. There was a pair of Olympia Airglide pants on there this morning for $115 shipped. Size 32, I think.

On the topic of ground saturation, I wanted to ask you guys - Is it good to cut the grass while the ground is still soft under the foot? I see no one in my neighborhood start with yardwork yet but one of my neighbors had lawn maintenance come by yesterday and cut their grass.

Well it all depends Aash, do you have a push mower or a rider?
I can cut my lawn anytime the grass is dry, regardless of how wet the ground it because my walk behind does not weigh hundreds of pounds and will not make ruts
