Fall has fell,
Spring has Sprung.

Pollen is here and I am pissed,
as Hell.




Well here is a shot of the cabby after being out side for 5 hours.

The pollen has come and gone here in Texas already. I hated it, but I was glad that my truck is yellow so the pollen wasn't as noticeable :). Glad my Cabby is waiting safe and sound in the garage back home waiting for the Maine spring. We don't get the pollen so bad in Northeast which is good since I think it would make a mess of a nice clean black canvas top.

Yea, the pollen has been pretty bad so far. However Brian, in your case, it's due to you living under those massive Pine trees. They might as well just be dumping everything right down on your rides.

Everything at my place and a moderate layer on it. So far a quick shot of the hose does the trick for the mostpart, but I know Cristine will be ranting next week as she tries to get things detailed for BAP.

Pollen is a fine to coarse powder which produce the male gametes (sperm cells) of seed plants. A hard coat covering the pollen grain protects the sperm cells during the process of their movement between the stamens of the flower to the pistil of the next flower.

Pollien is nothing,

I parked my Golf by the tree in my yard for an hour and it got covered in sap. 10X worse.

No, pollen isn't so bad up here. Mud season right now, followed by black fly season and deer season is of course all year long. I would take pollen if somebody would like to trade. :rmad:
