Just had a wind gust here of 40 Mph or 35 Knots or um....what are they
using in Europe now - meters or something? Ok, that would be...um...
64 Kph or something like that - just off the top of my head - division
isn't my strong suit. :)

Wow - just had another one! - 42 Mph.

Another fun evening...

Just came back from Belmont, CA and a funeral. Was frosty this morning in
the shady areas and 62 coming home. Nice clear weather.

I talked with a friend in St. Louis today and they've been without
power since 6:00 am.
And his son and daughter-in-law live in Ks. and got 6" of snow on top
of the ice they got from all the rain yesterday. Naperville IL.
(chicago area) got 2" of snow per hr...they should be used to it. Here
in S. IL. we missed all the heavy snow, but most of the day the temp
bordered on freezing. ground was mushy and what little bit of snow and
sleet we got was gone by 12 noon. But really breezy today. no fun
working outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be colder, but calm and sunny.
I'm glad I finally drained and winterized the ChrisCraft last night!

absolutely beautirful weather today. High 40's almost no breeze and
sunny. Just got back from splitting a bunch of wood for dad, and am
getting ready to get a haircut, pick up a bunch of candles for our
Candlelight Christmas service at Church, maybe go by the boat shop, if
they're still open, and tonight take the wife out for dinner.

really nice day!

Good luck with dinner.

Today our temp climbed to the early 50's, which made golfing enjoyable.

Boat shop isn't open on Saturdays :(

Rats! I was going to question them on some stuff, and see about a
flare kit, if they had any, and what-not.

but tonight? Temp in the low 40's , no wind, and not a cloud in the
sky.

beautiful!

It's supposed to get a little colder tonight, low 30's. Don't buy your
flares any earlier than necessary, they have expiration dates on them. I'd
wait until the start of boating season and check the dates.

Yes,John. I don't have plans on getting them just to sit around the
winter. But simply getting my "ducks in a row"

Good, you were sounding like you were going to go buy some tonight. Flares
can be ordered online:

for example. They also have the cheaper ones.

Thanks for the link, John.

Hey John! I just thought of something that may inetrest you and a some
other wardogs that are here. I about 20 of these in all assorted
flavors. In daylight would these do the job?

We were into the 50's up here. Thought it would be warmer way down there.

Where the hell did you get those? :)

Probably the same store that Eisboch got his ohm meter... ?:-0

Actually, probably in effect they would be fine, but I would suspect
that officially, not acceptable on inspection.


Effect would be great. I used a yellow one to get rid of some
groundhogs on my uncles farm.

But true, I don't think the CG or Dept. of Conservation would go for it.

Ugh! I asked the missus where she wanted to eat tonight, and she said
"I haven't been to Burger King in a while, lets go there..." I can't
believe it! out of the better eat places around ehre, she wants to go
to Burger King!

Anyhow, back on weather. it's about 33 outside,a nd looks like little
clouds are starting to roll in. humidity is picking up. getting really
chilly feeling. *UGH!* No breeze though.

It's sad to think of about 1/4 mil. people in the St. Louis area
without power for the second say or so. Ice build up on the electric
poles brought them down all over the city.

It wasn't "cold" today, but the 25 Mph/21 Knot/43.23 Kph wind gusts
kept the wind chill in the teens.

F'n winter... :)

MORE GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Well, you can't hold it, and you can't drop it in the boat, so how would
you use it? At night it probably wouldn't be too effective.

This is clearly an example of how bad the global warming situation has

Stop driving.


Stop heating your home.


Measure your carbon footprint immediately.


This is a crisis.


If you don’t care for anyone else then at least care for me. Even if you
care for anyone else, stop doing so and care only for me.


This was a workday and I couldn’t go golfing (Oops! I mean) the end of the

Ps Disregard the record-breaking low temperatures the rest of the United

No-one else is. I know this for a FACT, I’ve heard it from the really
smart rich scientists up here.
