Backwoods Savage said:Terry, we were told you had to cancel but kept watching that airport across the road just in case you found time at the last minute. Had a beer waiting for you too. Maybe next year you could fly out because we sort of expect a repeat next year with maybe a few more new things. Definitely get hold of Ron on those legs. It should not be too late to do some changing on them but getting crushed during shipment can do in some really super strong stuff too so I wouldn't worry too much. Good luck on plowing that snow too. WE haven't pushed too much of it around just yet and hope to have a light snow season. I'm betting on it but we've not had much ice for many years now so hope we don't get much of that again. I'll take 2 feet of snow over 1/2" of ice any day.
Hey, Dennis! I WAS trying to figure out how to show up until the very last minute, but with Katie about to deploy any day, it just was too much conflict. Of course, as it turned out, she didn't finally deploy until 30 October and I could have come, but at the time it looked like it was gonna happen any moment, especially when she was replacing an MP who got shot up so bad they had to bring him home, along with nine others who had to come back. When THAT word came down, it sealed the deal on me not coming, because they were in such a hurry to get her over there.
I hope they do have other events like that one. I'll for sure make the next one, well, I'm planning to anyway!
Ron's already said he was sending a replacement to be here Wednesday.
The storm track at the moment looks like we'll get only a couple of inches of snow--mostly rain, but if it goes 10-15 miles more south, we could get a foot of snow, so it remains to be seen. And 10-4 on the snow vs. ice. I'm with you there. Down here people go all stupid when it ices . . . and they always pay for it. Never understood that, but it's a regular thing. I try to stay home when there's even talk of ice. Just doesn't pay to go out.
Y'all stay warm up there. Wish I could see your place. Looks like a great spot and a great house from what I've seen. Be good now, y'hear?
