It's freaking pouring in NYS.

Have not seen it rain this hard in awhile.

That's about the most interesting thing I can come up with to post today.

To quote Robert DeNiro in the movie Taxi Driver:

"Some day a great rain will come and wash the filth from this city".

Instead we have this very humid air with strong gusts of wind. Unpleasant. I wish it would start to rain and wash this moisture-laden air away.

I was going to put a second coat on today because the first coat has been drying so well since the humidity in the garage has been around 40%, but now drying has ceased since the humidity is pushing 70%.

I'm with you...not a big fan of high humidity.

He said NY makes it's own gravy when it rains.

I always remembered that.
