[COLOR= #0000ff]Hey, Y'all.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #0000ff]Brad -- mid 50's, light wind, slight over cast? I'd love to have that regularly. In fact, we did have almost that exact condition yesterday, and I loved our ride. (And yes, I'm still ranting about the rain, lol.)[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #0000ff]MMMHills -- GORGEOUS picture. Reminds me of South Dakota and Flagstaff. Of course, these days taking a picture of it when it's like that is about all I do want to do in it, lol. In Sioux Falls one winter I stood at the window during a blizzard, and watched the Ford Pinto across the street totally disappear beneath snow within a couple of hours. Pretty, yes. Fun? Not so much any more.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #0000ff]Daddo, I didn't know it even got down to the 30s in Florida! I'll cancel my plans to retire there, lol.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #0000ff]Paramount, do I remember wind chills from Sioux Falls! I remember wind chills into the minus 70F range. Brrrrrr! My training those days is loading logs into the fireplace, stirring marshmallows into cocoa and rum, and checking on the chili while the cookies bake. Just perfect, lol. [/COLOR]
[COLOR= #0000ff]BlazingPedals, your SIL getting stuck reminded me of an ice storm in Missouri we had. I was on my way home late one night along a rutted dirt road (we lived out in the country). I skidded on the ice when I had to brake for a deer, and the car ended up sliding sideways -- and then stopping. No matter what I tried, I couldn't make it move. Got out -- and the tire ruts were so deep on the road that I was HIGH-CENTERED on the middle, with all 4 wheels just spinning above the bottom of the ruts. That's fun at midnight with the closest farm-house half a mile away across a field of deep snow -- and when I finally staggered into his yard, totally exhausted from pushing my way througth 2-3 feet of snow to get to him, the farmer greeted me with a shotgun poking out through the screen. I did what any strong, confident woman would do and just burst into sobs, lol, trying to explain through the tears that I just needed to use his phone.... whereupon he ordered me to go back to my car and said that he would come help. Longest night of my life. And I'm just glad I didn't end up being a lampshade or skin coat for the crazy old coot. [/COLOR]
[COLOR= #0000ff]Ahhhh, memories. Thanks for the fun, y'all![/COLOR]
