"Ancient Gods and Goddesses,
I invoke thee.
Waters from the sky,
Let it be."

"I command thee now,
to thee all.
Listen to my desire,
Rain fall!"

When I was a wee garcon living with my mama, she wouldn't let me play no foosball 'cause it was the Debil but she did teach me an old Gris Gris spell to make it rain. It involves two burning sticks in the form of a cross circled by a ring of salt. I shall attempt this tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully I will remember all of the details.

steps to make it rain:

1. wash your car.
2. do not take an umbrella, rain gear, tarps or closed toe shoes.
3. get the local forecaster to forecast a dry spell.
4. ignore it. rain is like a cat and hates to be ignored.

You could also stop boating and start golfing

Looks like they got a drink of water up there last night. Chance of rain over the next four days makes the Sandy a real possibility and if not the Cheat should stay above minimum. You all have fun, wish I could make the trip.

I think I'm out on the Cheat/Sandy trip.

After acting retarted which resulted in making sweet shoulder love to a rock living on the bottom of the James yesterday, the orange sized whelp is going to limit my paddling over the next few days.

I'm thinking of leaving Friday during the day or maybe earlier to catch an UY run. Looking to car pool, so let me know if you're interested. I plan on leaving Sunday after we paddle. I may be able to leave tonight, but it would be late.
I will continue to dance too.

JR and I leaving in the am for the UY then heading to Teeters for the weekend. See you all later.

We've got 14 signed up for the trip. The cheat will run all weekend between 2.0-2.5 saturday and 1.5-2.0 sunday. Still a chance of rain today so the sandy just may make it to minimum for saturday (keep your fingers crossed). We will put on at teeters campground around 9am and shoot for a 2pm glenn miller shuttle.
