What summer? We had 2 nice consecutive weeks in September (typically our 2nd most crappy 'summer' month). The rest was rain and cold. I don't think we had more than 5 days all summer where the temps broke 80F. The rest of the time it was in the mid 60's and f'n RAIN.
My verdict on the summer of 09 = sucked wet wooly donkey ****.
That being said, I still got in about 15K miles in. Good thing I don't have a sandy vag.
Boy I'm glad to see summer come to an end, now I can sit on my porch and drink coffee in the morning without it being in excess of 100 degrees at 7am. I about froze my ass off this morning when it dipped down to 68 degrees.
