Staying Dry?
I hope our East Coast bros are staying dry. After seeing that post of "U Boat" recently, I suspect there might be a few more - seeing what you're getting pounded with. Keep the chamois close by  |

Don't remind me. It's been wet all week, traffic sucks becuase of all the flooding. I work a mile down the street and it took me 40min to get there this morning 
And I've been waiting all week to replace my control arm bushings, but I don't have a covered garage

I feel for you guys, I know how much it SUCKS! Between high water, dreary skys & every MORON and his brother making an attempt at driving rationally, - I'm surprised more of you don't carry guns.  |

Yeah, I didn't actually hit the dog, almost did though by like an inch....
Here is the deal...
Think it was Friday afternoon, ~ 6:30 7 pm, so kind of dark outside, was coming home from work, and am going down hill, raining a lot and pretty foggy.
To my right is I think 4 houses and a red light (that was green). In one of the house's driveway I see this lay with an umbrella (she was squatted down a little) facing towards the street (her back at me) and a car in the driveway. I assumed that the lady was looking out for someone to back out....
So I focused on her and that car making sure they don't do something like back out and hit me...
As I get like 2-3 yard from that driveway I see the lady drop her umbrella and clap, then all a sudden I see this Siberian husky run from the other side of the street in the street towards the lady.... I honk, brake and flash my highs all at once, the lady screams, I slightly turn right trying to dodge the car but due to weather my car starts to fish tail a little, so I counter turn and get car back straight.
The dog, even thought he was EXTREMELY stupid and ran in middle of the street, he back out when he heard/saw me... but my bumper came probably a inch away from hitting him... so close that I wasn't sure if I had hit him or not until I looked in my rearview mirror...
But I swear I was enraged at that lady for calling her dog right in front of me!

Well, I didn't want to hit him, because...
A) I didn't want to damage my car
B) Would have hated to kill a dog
 but A comes first

since the initial flooding we have been ok.... the damn in keene has about 1 inch of clearance right now (no joke) so if we get another seriouse rain (2-3 inches or more) we could b looking at some seriouse water. the roomies and i have already figured out who is grabbing what and such if water even starts to wet the floor. but so far so good!
