    All I know is we had a day with a little bit of rain this past week.

    The smoke was terrible on that day.

    After the rain passed 2-3 hours later, we still had terrible smoke smell. :picard:

    I'm thinking that the smoke was probably knocked down some during the rain but just continued to illegally immigrate back in once the rain stopped.

    Yesterday I drove 650 miles. Smoke was very visible through PA. Less through Ohio and mostly none in MI; Just a hint of smoke just before we got home.

    That's a respectable amount of miles.

    No where near my record of one day's travel, but as I catch up to your age ( :whistle: ) I appreciate the effort needed. :handshake:

    My wife wants a tub like that when we remodel our master bath. I like the tile flooring, but could be difficult to install. Which means it's definitely on our radar :D

    That's crazy weather. Is it common to get big storms this time of year? I hope you get through it with minimal damage.

    Had 3" of rain on Friday. Raining hard here again today. More rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Trying to find motivation to get to the garage and work in the shop.

    I'm not a huge fan of the tile look myself, but I do like those tubs. I'd like to have one, but the money is another thing :makeitrain"

    Snowing in June! Glad I snapped a few pictures before it rained last night. Looks nothing like this today.

    Excellent. Especially for an early summer day. Lake water is pretty warm at this smaller shallower inland lake, 68° or so. Not bad, but a little refreshing at first.

    The boat ran great, still on fuel from last fall. 54 gallon tank in the beast, and it's pretty good on fuel. Newly refreshed and fixed props were smooth. I'll need to put new seals in the lift cylinders on the out drive for next year. The starboard side has a tiny leak from the seal at the rod. It's really minor, so I can deal with it later.

    Cut a hole in the floor for a pipe and hit masonry. Spent some time under the house demolishing the base of the old chimney, the rest of which was long already removed. Not a fun place to work.
