I must not be living right anymore. Up until this week, the top on my car had
been up only 3 times since the tenth of May (I'm into open air and using a
tonneau). Even though this summer (in SE Michigan) has been considerably
wetter than the previous three years, I have been very lucking in my commuting -
typically I drive the Triumph to work for all but 2 or 3 days per month in
season. I have been just ahead of, behind or along side of some serious rain.
Occasionally I have stretched out an errand on the way home to let a
thunderstorm clear out ahead of me.
Twice this week I have had to put the top up (in the rain) to go home. On
Monday afternoon I left work early for a doctor's appointment. When I pulled
into the professional building's parking lot there was a small patch of blue sky
visible in an otherwise overcast day. I snapped the tonneau just enough so that
it would not get whipped up by any wind. As I was getting ready to leave my
doctor's office someone came in and mentioned that there was water leaking into
the elevator! This was not a good sign and how at I wished at that moment that
I had secured the tonneau better. Yesterday the forecast was for light to
moderate rain from mid morning thru the afternoon - which it did - followed by a
cold front . Unfortunately it was still raining late in the afternoon when I
left work with no sign of clearing. After putting up the top and wiping down
the formerly exposed sunvisors and windshield I notice the beginnings of
clearing off on the horizon. By the time I had covered 8 miles in very slow
traffic it had stopped raining.
