The lawn crew was back to finish the job of mowing the park this morning. I got woken up to the sound of a gas string trimmer outside my bedroom window. While I appreciate that the lawn got mowed, did they have to wake me up so rudely? It managed to really screw up my morning. I was dressed and drinking my first cup of coffee, when I realized I forgot to take a shower.

It was a very overcast morning with a forecast for rain in the afternoon into the evening. The rain forecast was very much a Florida summer day forecast. After letting the forecast get in my way the last couple of days, I just took a “damn the torpedoes full speed ahead” approach today. I drove north into Lake County and walked around in some of the county parks around the lakes in Clermont and a little way north. The rain cooperated to the extent that it only rained while I was driving. The brief downpours required the maximum setting on my wiper blades, but it was over in a minute or two. While I was out walking everything was dry.

The rain didn’t fall on my RV home while I was out. It was nice enough to wait for me to get home. The five minute burst of rain on my RV home happened while I was eating dinner. Later, as the sun was setting, the sky started to clear for the first time all day. Tomorrow seems to be a repeat of today weather wise.
