Place: Our Next Mini Comments: I'm reposting the invite to our upcoming Mini because so many only look at our site every week or so. Please plan to attend, I haven't seen some of you in a long time! Date: Saturday, March 28, 2015
Time: 2:00 to 6:00pm Place: Don & Sandy's house - 2801 Ashbury Dr., Richardson, TX. 75082 There will be plenty of ice tea, coffee, cold beer and various brands of liquor (Jack, Weller's, Vodka, Scotch, Bourbon, etc.) and some mixers. We'll also have hot & cold hors d'oeuvre, chips & dips and, of course, desserts! Many of you have been to my house before, but for anyone who needs directions, contact me and I'll give you custom directions from wherever you're coming from! sandylynn@sbcglobal.net
Place: Dry Oregun Comments: Jack, usually we have wet winters and snow in the mtns but we have been getting milder and milder winters for some time now. The ski resorts probably won't open again this year and most of them have only been open a few days. The one advantage I will have this summer is the low water n the rivers, it will make fly fishing really good, there will be lots of bugs out. I catch and release so I should have fun catching lots of trout. I will make the same offer to you that I made to SNL, bring up as much snow and rain as you want, I won't have any problem selling it here. Hope you are doing OK and take care.
Place: Raining againville Comments: You are correct, Jim. In a few weeks we probably be begging for rain, but is the choice to get it all at one time or none at all? It's not that I'm against the rain, it's just I NEED some sunshine. More than 2 weeks without seeing the sun gets this Texas boy down. Sorry you are having a bad time, SNL. Maybe you should go get your sinus packed. Funny, Rod, I never thought about the Northwest having a water shortage. Between the snow and the rain, I think of it wet and green. Coldest, wettest I have ever been in June was at Fort Lewis waiting to ship out to Nam. No sun. Rain almost all day. lived in my field jacket. Ahhhh, memories!
Place: Richardson Comments: Thanks Rod. Today is first day I've been able to stay up all day and I'm beginning to feel like I've got it whipped. Should be full speed by Monday. We need the rain so bad . . . I'm so tired of only being able to water my lawn twice a month during the summer!! It's a shame the East got all the snow and out West/ski slopes are hurting for it.
Place: Oregun Comments: Sorry you are still under the weather but it sounds like you are on the mend. I wish we had your rain and especially the snow, our snow pack in non-existant so we will be looking at a lot of forest fires and low water levels in the rivers and lakes. Feel free to send some my way or you and Don can bring it up here. Stay on the mend and get feeling better.
Place: Richardson Comments: No vacation, been really sick for the last 2 wks. Started as sinus problems, then developed into infection and Bronchitis. Oh my, I've coughed so hard I thought I'd busted a rib or two. Today, 2 wks to-the-day, I'm on the road to recovery. We are promised sunshine for tmo, Sat & Sun. Please let the weatherman be right this time! I'm so tired of the rain, sleet, snow and clouds!! I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you for the Mini, really tired of being inside and it so dark outside.
Place: Panola County Comments: Jack - What bright light in the sky?? We will be begging for rain in the next several weeks/months.
Place: Oregun Comments: Thanks Jack. We've had such a mild winter that the ski areas are not open, one is but loosing snow fast. The snow pack in the mtns is the lowest on record so it looks like we will have low lakes and rivers this summer. I would like to see a lot of snow fall in the mtns and rain here in the valley but I rarely get what I ask for, especially weather.
Place: Lake Tawakoni Comments: Sarah and I are still "suffering " from Jet Lag. The only down side to spending a week in St. Thomas is the 6 hour flight back and two time zones. Then day light savings time two days later. So, we have been sleeping until 9:00, but it's really 11:00 in St Thomas and now it's really 8:00 in Texas. So, having lunch then going back to bed..... or having frozen margaritas, or....... You get the picture folks. Good night?
Place: Mudville Comments: No, Rod. I think we are cutting the webbing from between our toes and hiding from that bright light in the sky. Talking heads said last night that we have had rain for 15 of the last 17 days and had received 4.3 inches of rain. More than in January and February combined. Good news is almost all the lakes have come up, still not to "normal" but UP. Maybe spring is creeping in after all. Maybe we will be playing volleyball in SNL yard at the mini!
Place: Oregun Comments: OK, so is Texas closed or has everyone gone on vacation ?
Place: Sunny Richardson Comments: Glad y'all made it in and got home Ok considering that's when all the snow was falling, right after midnight. The pics you posted on FB were wonderful. Made me long for going back to the Islands again as I sat here looking at sleet, snow & ice!! It's shaping up to be a good mini with good attendance. Really looking forward to seeing everyone after a long cold winter!!!
Place: Back Home Comments: We arrived at 11:00 P.M. Wednesday night from St. Thomas, VI. What a difference in the weather! We were the last flight into DFW that was not cancelled. Eighty degrees and sunshine to a snow storm and 27 degrees. Took lots of pics and posted to Facebook. See ya at the mini.
Place: BRRRR 66erville Comments: Good to hear from you, Mike. What kind of work in available in Key West? Lime taster?
Place: Snowville Tx. Comments: Sandra C I walked around the house enough that I started seeing my own tracks in the snow. Now there is new snow on the ground and I'm glad I don't have to try to drive to work in it. |
