Yes we are.
I always marvel at how here in FLorida 6-10 inches of rain helps end the drought and brings up lake levels and other than some road flooding no real harm comes from it.

Yet, in the West. 1/4" of rain can cause wide spread destruction in the NM,NV,CA areas. All that hard rock/mountains and aroyos don't obsorb much water.

The sad soles who decided to try to drive their civic (or similar cars) down the river.. or roads as we call them. lol.. Makes me love my truck even more.

Wow, it's quiet in here. There were this many posts the first day of June in the SoCal BS thread. :-)

How's everyone enjoying the weather anyway?

Edit: Also - anyone know of a good place to get parts in Central FL? Tried stopping in Ford of Ocala... but they took half an hour to get around to looking up the price of a power steering pump, and said it'd take at least 3 weeks to get it.

Wow has it been a wet June in Fl. Haven't dried out from the last round of storms and now we're getting hit again. Good thing is you can't mow your yard. Bad thing is you can't mow your yard.

Unfortunately, RoB I can't help you with a good parts place in Central Fl as I'm in NE FL. And yes, it is quiet in here.

Rain is still coming down. Rivers and creeks already beyond flood stage and still climbing. Could be an interesting ride into work tomorrow as some roads are already closed.
