Listen Matt, you and me, we've gotta talk. I saw your weekend weather forecast this morning and I'm not happy. Rain. Rain for five weekends in a row.

You've got to help us out Matt. Please. We're dying out here. We've got to have sun! We want to get out and hike and bike and paddle. Yes, we have foul weather gear. And we know how to use it, sure. But I didn't buy a rain suit to live in it!

Oh my God, I think I'm whining. No, I am whining. Get yourself together boy. {slap, slap}

Okay, my gear duffle is packed. Day pack too. With rain gear. {snicker} And I'm headed up to the Sugarloaf area to look at some real estate and get a hike or two in. Weather forecast be damned.

I'll be thinking of you Matt. Warm and dry at home. You have a good weekend now...
