WEBVTT - You can grill in the rain

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>tip is that you are fairly waterproof, or at least

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you'll dry quickly. Plenty of outdoor activities maybe more pleasant

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>when it is not raining than when it is, or

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>when the weather is otherwise less than agreeable, but it

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>is still more fun to enjoy yourself and get wet.

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Then skip the fun and stay dry. You will probably

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>be dry again in a little while, one way or another.

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>So I'm taking the title of this episode from a

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>recent dilemma in my family. We were pondering grilling because well,

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>grilled food tastes good, but it was also drizzling, which

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.959
<v Speaker 1>isn't exactly grilling weather. But it turns out that they

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>make umbrellas and you don't have to stand outside for

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that long when you're grilling. You can go in and out,

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>So my husband, who tends to do the grilling in

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>our family, made it work. You can, in fact grill

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>in the rain more Generally, bad weather doesn't always need

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to take away your joy. For instance, I bet you

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>have friends who run or walk every day, no matter

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>what well it might seem crazy to send people to

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>run when it's drizzly or eighty five degrees fahrenheit or

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>fifteen degrees. I could tell you that daily exercise makes

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>some people stay grounded and calm, so why would the

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>weather change that. It is better to be grounded and

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>wet than stressed and dry. It is better to go

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>for a run in frigid temperatures and come back warm

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.559
<v Speaker 1>up and be happy to spend time with your family

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>than to stay in the house and stay warm, but

0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>also spend the whole day sulking. Outdoor activities, even with kids,

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>are perfectly doable and bad weather. You can go to

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the zoo in the rain. You'll probably avoid the crowds.

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>You can also check out an outdoor sculpture park, or

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>build sand castles at the beach, or explore the downtown

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>of a town you are visiting in less than optimal weather.

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Extra layers plus hand warmers mean that most of the

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>fun you can have in fifty degree weather you can

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>have in twenty degree weather. I recently heard from someone

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>who almost skipped a tour on the last day of

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>a vacation when she went somewhere during a cold snap.

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>But she decided that she wanted to have done the tour.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>She bundled up and had a great time. A few

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>hours later, she was warm and toasty in her hotel room.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>More importantly, in another day, she was back to her

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>normal life, but her normal life with this wonderful memory. Now,

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>of course, you want to avoid being outside in the

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>lightning or in temperatures that are truly dangerously cold or hot.

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>But to a large extent, having the right gear and

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>having a positive mindset make it possible to enjoy most

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>outdoor activities regardless. So if it is raining, go ahead

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and grill in the rain. My guess is that your

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 1>dinner will taste fantastic. In the meantime, This is Laura.
