Winter Rain: 14

We are back from our somewhat damp trip to Quinpool. It turns out that the wind and rain when combined as they are today are pretty unpleasant.

Just to reiterate a previous statement, the rain is definitely not heavy. If we somehow managed to remove the wind from the occasion I am quite confident that both Neil and Rebecca would agree with me that it is just regular rain, which feels amped up because of the wind.

The reason for the trip was for Neil to buy an on-sale exercise bike, which we succeeded in doing. Neil is now in the midst of assembling it in the living room. So now that we have the exercise bike and chin-up bar I presume that we have no excuse to not be in top physical form, though I somewhat doubtful that we will both be sporting sexy six-packs in the not-to-distant future.

I should also mention that carrying a somewhat heavy, large box in heavy wind and regular rain is something a little less than pleasant. At times the gusts, into which were headed, both pushed down the box and blew into our faces. It was quite a feeling to have the box feel as though it was being pulled from our hands and also as though we were dealing with some kind of frontal gravity that was impeding our progress.

Of course there are no signs of abeyance so I presume this means that none of us will be making too many extra trips outdoors.

Blog-off Score

Neil: 3
Cameron: 53
