I am getting tired of rainy day projects. Let's see, laundry room remodel, living room remodel, youngest's bedroom remodel, just finished upstairs bathroom remodel last night, outside rock garden work (actually never rained that day). Every time I look at the weather.com 10 day forecast, it keeps calling for 9 days of rain. Even had to camp in the rain both times so far this year. I give up, the boat and the ski is going in the water tomorrow no matter what happens (supposed to be 83 and sunny!!). Dock work will begin if it snows. Enough is enough. Can someone please send a request upstairs for this all to end, we are craving summer!!!!!!! Sorry, end of rant!!

Living in Southern California, where there are even songs about how much it doesn't rain here and it's raining here anyway. If that's the case, there is no amount of praying or wishing for where you live in a more rainy part of the the country to stop the weather. I think God and Mother Nature are fed up with all the drought talk whining over the past couple of years and is making up for lost time. One way it's good and in another (like for all the projects at your house) it's not good.
How much are you willing to wager, this is gonna be a wicked summer - dry and hot, but enough humidity to suffocate a herd of horses? We must be careful what we wish for.

I hear you Bingo, we can't seem to get rid of the rain clouds and it looks like our maiden voyage next weekend to the coast may be damp. Wife is optimistic saying that it is too far out to actually make an accurate call. Last 4 days have been nice low to mid 70's, so have been spraying weeds, working on the trailer, etc.

Been raining here all month, have gotten over 6 inches so far. A lot of years we don't get that much all year! With mountain snow melt @ 250 per cent over normal, the whole state is going to be under water. Flood watches out all over and we are thinking of turning the Monty into an "Ark" Just kidding but enough is enough!

OK Ozz,
Question 1, why the co2 system if you have an on-board compressor?
Forgot what 2 was.
We hit the road Friday and so far so good. Sitting on a lake in Hattiesburg. No rain just sun.

On-board compressors sometimes fail, are not quick and powerful like the CO2. I can air a tire in a matter of seconds with the CO2, it takes a long time with the compressor.
You have to be 30# higher than the tire to put air in fast. Not easy with a compressor and a 110# tire.
#2 was probably why are you such a nut.. answer; borned that way
I think we are just a matter of days away now. The humidity hit us today, can't wait to get the heck outta here.
