Taking the afternoon off. The spousal unit and child are heading to Wisconsin with my mother-in-law for a wedding the weekend of the BBQ. There's about a 65% chance they'll take my car (which means it won't be here for airport runs that weekend 
)
However, it's due for an oil change, tire rotation, and wheel balancing, so it's off to the dealership I go, to sit and wait on it.
Yes, I know - a dealership for standard maintenance. However, they're cost-competitive, they know how to do what I ask rather than what they "usually" do, and they have no problems with me standing at the end of the bay, keeping a eagle eye on them.

Well, it finally rained. Christ almighty, did it rain. Since I was frantically draining the pool, I'm not sure exactly how much we got yesterday, but I'm thinking 3.5 inches. 2 of it came down in about an hour. More coming today.
And my house was a relative dry spot. I went downtown to take V2.0 to the children's museum. I missed my exit and had to turn around at the Ford plant exit. The return ramp on that bad boy is a loop. As I got to the end of that loop, there was a small lake, 1.5 to 2 feet deep, across the entire lane. Couldn't see it until you were about in it.
Not wanting to get stranded in the middle of it, I overrode my instinct to brake and goosed it. The motor began to over-rev due to the fact that the ass end of the car was starting to float just as I caught traction on the other side. No damage to the car, but it was damn close.
Poor Prof. 3 weeks of no water, and as he comes down the eastern seaboard it decides to catch up. Flooding this week all the way down the route he has to take to get down here.
