Good early morning, everyone.
Sandy, I was in Boulder one January when we had 95 mph wind gusts. There shingles were flying everywhere, on top of a -26 degree windchill.
Oh, I forgot to mention the hailstorms too. I still had the dents in my Acura to prove it when it was sold. Yeah, real nice place to live.
Barry, I'm more a book/magazine person too. It's strange having my brother visitng because he and his wife have certain shows they
have to watch every night. Real educational stuff, like CSI Whatever.
I'd say that -6C pretty much guarantees frost.
I was looking at that joint tonight, although I didn't get the time to grab the iron and do any work because the wife had something for me to do every five minutes when she got back from shopping. The street is styrene on both sides of the joint so I have to figure out how to heat up the rail enough to get solder in the joint without melting the street. I need a bunch of tiny heat sinks or something. BTW, the wind is blowing form the northwest, almost directly from London. I think you had something to do with this.
Karl, you're just jealous because Barry and me paid attention during English class while you were staring blankly out the window.
My brother also likes NASCAR, so we had four hours of that tonight, with the same cars going round and round, minus the wrecks, which is what most people seem to watch NASCAR for anyway. I like your flat screen analogy though.
Corey, I reorganized the layout while cleaning the basement and went through what you did. Everything is in labeled boxes now. That will last for a month, tops, before it's spread all over the place again. I'm just not an organized guy when it comes to train supplies. Farve is doing pretty good for a broken down old has-been. I'm just pulling for the Browns to beat someone...anyone.
Bama won and Auburn lost so there is joy in the house tonight. Neither Florida nor Alabama beat the spread so I think their rankings will stay the same.
I see the sheriff executed a search warrant on balloon boy's house tonight. The sheriff said he's going to file charges although he's still not saying it was a hoax. There was no doubt in my mind it was a hoax from the time the kid "wandered" down from the attic all by himself. I hope they get the FAA involved and dogpile charges on him from the Feds. They can then bill him for the cost of the search, which should be substantial. I hope child protective services takes a close look at the family situation also, since there have been past calls of domestic violence. I know the dad is a whack job. I haven't hear much from mom but she has to be a little off her rocker to be living with this fruitcake.
It's down to 44, cloudy, and still a bit breezy. It should clear out tomorrow, which means we have a chance for our first frost Sunday night. It's ahrd to believe I was out in the garage in shorts and a t-shirt, sweating my buns off two days ago. Number one daughter wants to go to the state fair tomorrow but she can forget it if it's as cold as it was today. Even deep fried Oreo's can't get me out in that.
I don't know what he's up to but, if I was the sheriff, I'd be there with my cuffs at the ready. That guy needs to go to jail...and get some psychiatric help.
