Dang Mick. No water sucks. Hopefully you can get your water restored soon!

A hotel with a hot tub sounds nice though.

Moldy was already there.
Moldy hit lots of rain, too, and around 100 miles of flood detours. But I stayed dry, warm when it was cold and cool when it was hot. Second trip with this rain protection, both had many miles of torrential rain but I never got wet. Kind of like it now, haven't done many day or more trips before without getting wet. Used to be plenty of coin operated laundries, felt real nice to put on warm dry clothes after a soaking, don't know if I could even find one of those now.

Something you could be doing if you'd keep that Russian thing.
Unless your roads are salted like they are here.

5 weeks older than my much smaller oldest grandson. Should be able to ride your Harley now. Mine hasn't ridden a Harley yet, but he's ridden the Ural a few times. Of course, it has a training wheel...
