... they run and hide their heads.
If you said, "The first line from the song Rain by The Beatles, 1966; released as the B-side of Paperback Writer," you get 15 bonus points.
Of course, I'm talking about the rain gutters that were installed yesterday. One of the young men doing the work said, "The sealant I'm putting in should have 24 hours to dry."
I said, "You know it's going to rain here before that."
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's hope it holds off." So, there's a plan.
I woke up at 4:25 this morning to the sound of rain outside. "Well, almost 12 hours," I thought to myself. I went back to bed for an hour, but didn't get back to sleep. After getting Murphy his breakfast, I went out in the dark to see how things were working with the rain gutters... OK, with what I could see.
We have music rehearsal today for a gig on Saturday. We'll be at Ron's house, which is in the downtown Phoenix area. The hourly forecasts show the heaviest rain in that area over the noon hour. Timing. I am not a fan of loading-in in the rain. We also will be going to where a women's choir is rehearsing, because we agreed to back them on one song this Saturday (they asked, we try to oblige).
For anyone keeping track, Saturday is the day for my Meet the President get-together at 9:00 am, then the gig for Banner Health in the afternoon. Chance of rain on Saturday is 50%. Yes, we're playing outside. I'll bring a 10'x10' pop-up kiosk, but that won't help if it is windy. I find myself saying, "We'll see how that plays out," a lot these days.
The predicted accumulation totals for now into Saturday...
Phoenix averages over 300 days of sunshine per year, which accounts for over 85% of daylight hours. Alas, this is proving out to be a rainy week here in the Valley of the Sun.
