Chokecherries
The rainstorms were over when I went to do my library stint last night and it had turned a little muggy again. Mr. Cody walked in to read the paper - that's when I noticed the rain had returned in an absolute down pour. Wasn't until I walked out to the car after my shift that I remembered I'd left the car's moon roof open just a slit so the heat wouldn't build up in there. The front seats were wet and when I started the car the passenger seatbelt warning buzzer began to ding. I figured the water was shorted something somewhere and buckled that seatbelt to get the buzzer to shut up. Once home I took a towel to the leather seats and anything else that seemed wet. I left the moon roof and all four windows wide open overnight. This morning I planned on picking up Friend Nancy and going for breakfast at 8 a.m. The seats didn't feel wet but when I sat down realized they hadn't completely dried yet. Sure enough, the passenger seatbelt warning buzzer went off again. Buckled that seatbelt and drove to Nancy's w/ the windows and moon roof open plus the seat warmers on low. Didn't tell Nancy what had happened - maybe she wouldn't notice. Nope - half way to the restaurant she announced her seat felt wet. I fessed up to what had happened and fortunately she found it funny. Don't know how long it will take to dry the seats out completely (though I bet there is a YouTube somewhere on that). For future reference I must remember that in the Northwoods the heat may build up in your car but never enough to require a windshield sun screen, a steering wheel shade cover, or leaving your moonroof cracked open.
