Jam tart!! Get a rain coat!! LOL. We will get your rain tomorrow.

hi smclelan !!!

rain coat ????? way too warm to wear a rain coat !!....good only for 15 c and lower !!! i won t endure it 5 mins...a good t-shirt with a good shirt that absorb water ...good enough...

in 24 years of work with my boss..i ve seen tons of rain..don t think i missed 2 days of work...and i know many guys in the rainy day ..they are already at the ''ballerines !!...make the rain your best friend...all between the 2 ears !!

normally at 8 c...in the rain ..its cold...must keep moving...

today has been the toughest one....tons of humidity ...cloudy in the morning sunshine in the afternoon..no air to breathe...tough one...25c when i came back...

tons and tons of mosquitos..black flies...deer flies...and the tiny ones...so small ..hard to see them ..they were sticking in my face all day..
