Group,
I went from 80 deg weather (and fires burning down the
town), to 6" + snow in four weeks. Last week it was T-shirt
and shorts at the hanger, and now Snow! Currently waiting on
the huricanes and earthquakes, Then I will have had it all.
Well at least the snow wont last long (2-3 days) and then
hopefully back to 80 deg weather.
Laterrrr

You do this to us every year about this time -- talk about
shoveling off sunshine and and how it just sucks to have
to use so much sunscreen while keeping your sunglasses on
and clean with your canopy back in the perfect 82 degree
weather.......
Later, when the wind with the strange names like
"BashemdownJoe" or "FloodemoutPatty" come to town and you
are wondering where your hangar is today or how many
cottonmouths or alligators have found refuge from the
flood waters in your GIB's seat, I don't want to hear a
whisper about it. >>
I am chagrined, yes we can have really nasty weather down
here in Paradise and those cottonmouths & gators are for
real. However, it's the nasty little flying things that
crave human flesh that I worry about. The Summer heat can
be intense.
Take Today, for example; I had to follow my summer routine
because of the heat: Up early and out to the airport,
knock for lunch at the airport sandwich shop, back to the
hanger until my T-shirt is damp with sweat. Home early for
a shower and a nap. Wake up for happy hour and out to
dinner early for Seniors Special $5.99 dinner with $1.50
Long Necks. Later, there is a Christmas Parade; my chairs
are already in place. Then maybe back to the airport with
the Night Shift airport bums and knock down some cool ones
while sitting in front of a big fan.
But, I can't stay out too late, have an 8:30am briefing
for formation practice with Ye Mystic AirKrewe of Tampa.
Gotta go now, something on the News about snow and ice
from Seattle to New York. Supposed to last all week. How
do you guys handle it?
