I have not bee great about riding the last two weeks. I have been solo parenting and decided that I needed to take it east since when I get too stressed that is what causes infections.

But I rode today in another one of the great PNW(ish) bouts of liquid sunshine. The boat required quite a bit of bailing and today I finally pulled out the Helly Hansen vinyl rain gear and the rubber calf high boat boots. There was a lot of rain. But it wasn't as bad as last Monday and Tuesday, I stayed home with the kids both days, since I didn't have childcare so i couldn't work; also it was very windy and not worth the trip to town. But Wednesday morning I got to the boat and we bailed about 500 L of rain water, it was the fullest the boat has ever been.

[MENTION=60072]HardyWeinberg[/MENTION] and [MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION] How do you post such large photos? What size are they typically? Mine always get rejected for being too large from my phone camera and I am too lazy to find a size reduction software. I have had issues ever since the forum platform update.
