For me, that's August - I have most of the month off. With any luck it doesn't feckin' rain all month, but even if does, at least one big trip out to the Manitoba border area is likely happening regardless of the forecast.

Unfortunately, I had to work 7-4:30 all weekend outside.
I did manage to get some riding in though, even if only in a parking lot.
Forgot to redo my sunscreen today, and the red-head gene is now demanding it's due.
If I'm sitting at home and contemplating going for a burger an hour away and it starts raining, I'm not leaving the garage.
If we have a day trip planned and the forecast is for rain from sun-up to sun-down, we'll take the cage instead, or not go.
However, if we have a 3 or 4 day trip planned and 1 or 2 of those days include rain in the forecast, well...that's what rain gear is for.
As for the above mentioned trip, it's with 2 other super hardcore riders - rain won't stop us no matter what, but I will admit after a few days of riding in it (in the case of a persistent weather pattern that just doesn't eff off) it grates on you. Been there.
I hope I don't need to update the thread title, but at this point I'm thinking I'm going to need to do that when the time comes. Summer starts Wednesday.

It rained literally 6 times today.
The flowers in our front garden are dying because they're actually drowning and starting to rot..

I managed to ride between raindrops on the way home from bowmanville tonight.
They just ran a spot on Breakfast Television about spring thus far. Something close to 400mm of rain and statistically it did indeed rain every other day.
Reportedly summer is going to be "normal" rainfall amounts. Not so sure about that since tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be washouts to start the season.

Don't feel bad, it's raining here too.

first week of summer doesn't look too good either...
Diversify the toys. Nice all day, go for a cruise up north. Raining, go play in the mud on the ATV. Bit of rain, take the dirtbike/mountainbike.
Or stay at home and complain about the weather.

Looks like the weather gods are going to smile upon this coming weekend, at least, which is appreciated as we have our first overnighter trip of the season planned with friends. Calling for the possibility of spotty passing showers on Sunday, but I'll take it - have rain gear, will ride.
Thread title updated...only seems to have effected the first post though.
I left 1 too many windows cracked open last night by accident and since it was all of 9 (!) degrees outside right now I actually had to turn on the furnace this morning to take the chill out of the house and keep the fam happy.
And oh look, more rain. Wednesday looks nice, then more of the same Thursday, Friday...Saturday.... :angry1:
