Bad weather rant

Seems like this weekend’s rain is dead set in coming. I know there’s still lots of things to do and ways to make the best of it but I’m tired of hearing it. I’ve only officially been camping like once a year since 2021 and each. time. it. rained. Cancelling isn’t a viable option now.

Setting up in the rain sucks. Putting things away in the rain sucks. I had a clear list of things I wanted to do and being cold and hiding under the tarp warming food in a camp stove isn’t any of them.

I wanted to lay out in a the hammock I bought but never used. Drink beer under a clear night sky. I also wanted to (occasionally) pretend my kids aren’t around but now I have to keep them on a shorter leash.
