    That right there practically guarantees that that antenna is going to perform super well and last a long time.

    Up until the last 10 to 14 days, it was bone dry here. Now where getting pop up storms every afternoon along with some of that rain flowing in from the west. Not enough I guess. I cut the grass on Tuesday and it was kicking up a lot dust.

    I got wetted on and off all day today - first round was at 6:30 AM when I backed the bike out of the garage and a downpour commenced immediately. What the heck...guess I shouldn't have washed the thing last night.

    I know of a woman in Taylors SC who charges money to make it rain.
    All she has to do is light up her grill and BOOM! Instant storm!

    Wish I had some of that rain around here. Ground is so dry you can't drive a tent peg in with ten-pound beater.
