You can thank me for the rain

I finally decided to water my lawn last week, now it is raining. Clearly the two events are related.

No, you can thank me. I decided to have surgery on my leg, keeping me off the bike for 3-4 weeks during "the hottest part of the year". So it decides to rain a bunch and cool off to some very nice riding weather.

Hope all is going well after the work, and the Doc did everything you guys were looking for.

Get well soon.

Well, I want to thank you because I just got come new fenders a few weeks ago to write a product review for my blog, and it would have been pretty hard without some rain.
