If I have time tomorrow I'll see if I can work it in. Can't you tell that I hate taking it apart and washing it out? LOL

Evening Don and Rick - We made it 55° and picked up about 1.5 inches of rain today. Total is 3.53 and looks like more on the way in a few hours.

I wouldn't mind getting back in the 70's much less the 80's!

No. I have seen them where the cover held in the moisture and rusted the cover from the inside.

Better days are coming.

Every day next week here will be in the upper 70s or 80s.

If it were I would say we would have about a foot of white crap. But then we wouldn't be having the flooding!
