Howdy Don!

Was damned windy here today, had 55MPH winds, blew most of the leaves out of the yard. They'll blow back before the night is over. LOL

Our weather guy said that we could expect 1 1/2" hail last night but we got none, That was good.

I hope it washes it off. We washed Patty's Edge in the rain on Friday. Came out pretty clean. My truck needs a good washing too. LOL

I have like a wash mitt on a stick that I put in a bucket of soapy water and wash it. Squirt it with water to rinse it then let it sit in the rain to rinse the hard water off. LOL

I've washed my cars and trucks like that for years.

Watched the German's wash their cars like that when I was there. They dry spotless because of the rain water. LOL
