Yeah, you heard (read) that right…I’m not going to complain about the rain today! Now, it was a tad hot and muggy on my morning walkabout, but I’ll that go this time.

Granted, we did have a brief shower earlier this afternoon, but the sun is back out and I’m glad to see it.

I wasn’t happy to see this when I stopped to take a leak during my hike.

Things were a bit more festive last night when I helped Roan celebrate her 35th birthday. It was a quiet night customer-wise, but I made sure there was cake and food for the girls to share.

As usual, I enjoyed the banter and drinks with Roan. She’s good company and we always share a lot of laughs. I can *almost* imagine what a lifetime of companionship with her would be like. She kind of surprised me when she told me during one of our conversations that she has no desire to be married. She’d be happy with a loving relationship as long as the love was there. She wants to be free to leave when it is not. Smart girl.

Speaking of smart (or maybe the opposite thereof), five of us braved the rainy weather for a long and wet hike yesterday. I led the group on a flat 10.5K trek out to Naugsol and back. It only rained about half the time. We were soaked but not deterred.

No worries. We found a walkaround and made our way safely to Sit-n-Bull for some lunch and some beers. Despite the rain, it was a very nice hike.

Oh yeah, I posted the graphic below today on Facebook and the liberals thought I was making a case for gun control! I just laughed and reminded them that the mayor of DC has been defunding the police while simultaneously mandating wearing useless masks. I’d say her priorities are misplaced.
