NOPE.

100% humidity in Memphis is when the big river rises...

What was the total time start to finish? The distance alone blows away anything I ever did, including San Diego to LA one year.

It finally rained here this afternoon---for about 10 minutes. Put some water in the rain barrels, but it wasn't long enough. There is still a chance of showers through tomorrow morning, so we may still catch some.

About 11 hours dead on the money - or an exact 20MPH average.

I don't do 20 in sprints...

Good morning guys. RRE tomorrow and I am stoked!

Sorry I have been out of touch. My house got struck by lightning on Friday and we lost lots of electronics. Computers are good but the router and TV's didn't make it. Lost the heat pump and two garage door openers also. So bear with me, I will still be here but sometimes it will be in spirit. LOL.

Have a great day guys.
