Still a whole day left to get it done, folks.

appistappis, keep that picture handy, if the casino lot challenge ever resurfaces, you've got yourself a point ready to go.

I can put the picture up, it actually was up for a little bit but I decided to take it down because it wouldn't count anyway.

appistappis, I can put pictures up for you, but I also PMd you directions on how to do it yourself.

You're telling me! Of course today had to be nice, but tomorrow's supposed to rain around here again, so everyone, including ketsa, has until 2:30pm (eastern time) tomorrow, or about 21.5 hours from this post, to get their submission in for a point (or in the case of ketsa, to retain his latest point).

It's gotta be raining somewhere, let's get that picture in!

It was only a light shower, does that count? Supposed to rain this Saturday. You can always count on Seattle for rain at some point.

If it counts, then: NEXT - Boxster under a bridge.

Well we've got no reason to doubt your honesty...I'm not going to be the only one to decide here. There's clearly moisture on the car, but on the flip side I see a pretty clear looking sky and only a few light looking clouds in your car's reflection.

We can deliberate if someone cries foul, but if someone puts up an affirmative on you meeting the challenge, I'm ok with us moving on to the next one. First reply(except from you, Spinnaker ) following this post will determine the next course of action.

I've been watching the game develop for some time. It seems every time a "challenge" comes up that say, "I can do that one", I'm in the mountains without the car. Soon I'll catch the timing right and have the car when the fountain or bridge comes up.

A shower came by and before I could get the camera out, it passed over and the sun was shining through a break in the clouds. That's why you see the reflection of the sky in the pic. That .01 rain total just happened to fall on my house!

BTW, if I wanted to cheat, I would've wetted the car down better than that.

Seattle Weather Forecast, Radar and Satellite | KOMO News

So far today...
High: 65° Precip: 0.01"
Low: 54°
Normal Record
66° 82° (1992)
49° 36° (1950)
Sunrise 7:07am
Sunset 6:51pm
Precipitation Normal Thursday Trace 0.06" This Month 1.28" 1.43" Since 1/1 25.54" 22.02

Like I said, Spinnaker, we've got no reason to doubt you. I'm just trying to remain objective as much as possible, and if anyone was going to call foul, they would've probably pointed to those same things, figured I'd get them out there early.

Welcome back tommy986, let's see if someone can find a fountain that's not in their yard...unless we've got some high roller on the forum with a large fountain on their lawn.
