Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!!!!
So I snuck in a "Hurry before the sun goes down" flight with my friend's son last night who's been dying to get out in real wind with his new Cool for
the first time so I grabbed the Frenzy to fly with him. Well, we got about 15 minutes and the rain hit us. Packed up in a panic and hit the "dry
cycle" today.
But it keeps raining.
Nearly dry......and then it rains. I swear I checked the Frenzy like 10 minutes before this pic was taken and told myself' "Another hour and it'll be
done.....perfect timing!"
Then the clouds burst again......
Same thing happened Wed with the Venom....took two day's worth of attempts to get it dry

Hey Drew I think we got 3" today and going to rain the next 3-4 days. Over 8" in the past couple weeks. My fault though, I set up the water drip line
system for the 1/2 acre garden almost 3 days after work to get it all set up and it started raining!!
