Today at 9:24 PM local time marks the summer solstice. This is the longest day of the year and the beginning of the summer season. I've been waiting (almost patiently). We've already had a couple of stretches of warm weather which I have thoroughly enjoyed. My favourite way to enjoy a warm summer day is to take the top off the jeep and go for a drive.

Through the spring and summer months I watch the local weather forecast like a hawk. When the weatherman forecasts three days of sunshine in a row the top comes off. The good news is that the weatherman is currently forecasting ten days of glorious sunshine. The top is off and the half doors are mounted. It's time to enjoy a drive!
