Guest Skyking Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I don't know what you guys are doing but I am getting tired of seeing my cars in the garage. Here in So. New England we are lucky if we get two days a week to take our cars out, and lately these 2 days are falling on week days while I work. I sure miss Florida............ <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Well, here in Cheyenne Spring came about a month ago, followed a few days later by Winter, followed by Spring, which was then followed by Winter. Then Spring, Winter, Spring, a day of Fall and then then Winter again. Yesterday was Summer and today back to Spring. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> But at least we are getting some RAIN, and a little SNOW with it.Patience my friend, warm weather will get to you eventually. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Skyking, Spring has already gotten to Virginia. We, The Northern Neck Region, had a nice local work show today. A little cloudy, but I had taken my jacket off by 1:00pm and the sun came up for about 30 minutes by 3:00pm., 70 degrees by that time. My son and I drove 150 miles on our travels today. We're not getting a lot of sunshine, but at least it stopped raining and it's a little warmer. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 In the 50's here on Long Island the past few days and maybe some sun Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Hi Sal, That's why Bob Swanson keeps talking about moving to Virginia, I guess (his wife is from Northern Virgina). Plenty of room down here for a few more "Yankees". Then maybe we'll win the war the next time around. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skyking Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Well here it is Memorial Day and it is raining like hell! Tomorrow will be 1 steady week and no sun in the near forcast. Damm space ships!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Skyking, It rained hard throughout the night, but the sun just came and it looks to be a beautiful day, Of course my grass is about to cover the view of my cars from the house. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 4 inches of rain here in the Southside overnight, and thunderboomers forecast for later today, so I have 2 yards to cut before all that happens. Car probably won't get washed, nor much else that needs to be done.I took vacation last week, and I feel like I have thrown away 40 hours of it <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />. 14 days off total and counting today (sunny right now anyway) I had four good days where I could get out and do something. So much for painting the porch rails or putting the Hurst (which has to come out of its narrow garage to work inside it) back together. I hope Guvnah Warner is convinced his drought is over.

CTW Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Nasty weather in Boston for the past few days & for the next few days. I think it's going to go from this nasty cool weather right into summer - no more 4 seasons. Skyking? Can I get a ride on one fo those spaceships? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Skyking ~ It ain't spaceships, it's all them holes we been punching in the sky for the past 50 years with them there rockets that done caused all the weather changes.

Guest Skyking Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 HVS, what globle warming?? I'm freezing my a#% off. It's 52 degrees out. I just heard on the radio there are some fools at Yankee stadium waiting for a silly game to start. They are soaking wet and waiting patiently for a game. I think they have a long and wet wait..

Guest Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Skyking ~ How politically incorrect of you to question global warming. Shame on you. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Don't you want to be considered a team player? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Hey folks, let it rain-every drop falling now increases the chances for a dry Hershey right? Oh well, dream on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I'm glad you brought Hershey up, Terry. I made my first trip up there last year and didn't buy a thing. And if Howard leaves early this year I'll shoot him. Had to walk back up the hill to my pickup after finding Howard's empty market site. My umbrella was parallel to the ground with me peeking around the edge every now and again to make sure I was headed in the right direction. The last time I was that miserable was in boot camp on a "night excursion" lost as hell in the black night of California. You guys can buy all those used parts if you want, I'll keep my money for new catalog parts and still come out ahead without the doctor's bill. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Stoneberg Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I will gladly trade some of your cold, wet weather for some of ours.We are behind on rain with none in site. Worrking in the garage or even driving a car when it is 90 degress and 95 % humidity leaves something to be desired.But as you all point out, at least mine is out of the garage. I hope you all can get yours out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JT Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Rocketraider, I was passing by your neck of the woods last night on a trip back from Cleveland around 9 pm and it was raining so hard on I 77 bout had to pull off. That was some storm. I heard a flood watch or some warning on the radio for Danville. It was probably past Elkin when I finally got out of it.

randjflo60 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 It is raining here like it is October. I think we will soon have to turn the Impala upside down and turn it into an Ark. I just found this gif and had to post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skyking Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Randjflo, that's a good idea for a cruise night. After all the rain, we had 2 nice days and now it's suppose to start raining again and be in the 50's. It's just a lousy, lousy spring....so we get maybe 2 days a week that are nice.

Amphicar BUYER Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 We are still in the worst drought here (Colorado) in over 150 years. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Many lakes and resevoirs are slowly recovering. (the picture below shows my closest lake late last year. In the upper Left above where the cars are parked is the normal level) One large lake near me is low enough that you can literally walk across it. It is 2 ponds right now and will not be open at all this year. My 5 year old lawn is beyond repair and will cost big $$ to re-landscape it with xerascaping. So you will not hear me complaining about the rain. All I can say it that it's a good thing my boat has wheels! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J.Heizmann Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hey, Ron...The flame coming off that guys grill reminds me of an over-choked Stromberg carb when it kicks in. (Of course, I am not going to admit that I, personally, witnessed a flame that high. er, uh ...how about, "I heard about a flame that high coming off a Stromberg??"). Let me know if you believe this nonsense.Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J.Heizmann Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Ron..."Never heard of a Stromberg carb?? Wow!! Are you fortunate. Count your blessings.

randjflo60 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 The trailer is moved. Al called late yesterday afternoon and said they moved it. They used a big back hoe with tracks and pushed it. I went over today and it is a muddy mess. Reminds me of the yellow field or the trailer parking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
