wayne77590 Report post Posted February 19, 2019 Just the other day I fired up the Traeger and BBQ'd St. Louis Style ribs. They came out deliciously. It's nice being able to BBQ in nicer weather all year round, well maybe a little hotter in Summer than other places but that is why I'm a "Summerbird."

I'd take that any day over snow, sleet freezing rain, rusted cars that you still owe on or become junk right after the last payment, car accidents from weather, trapped in the house, only can use the coach 6-7 months a year, all of that is painful!

Have the house heat seat at 71 and still running my little electric element in the room I'm in. Happy I have auto start on the car so I can warm it up 10 minutes before I have to get into it. Just need that old man's mad dash from house to car. DW's car is garaged - lucky her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drove all the way across Texas and still looked for them. Of course I go to florida and look at their RIVERS, our creeks in Alabama are larger than those rivers. And of course there is the mighty Rio Grande in place to keep those Mexicans out of Texas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree on the Rio Grande not being much of a deterrent. When I was camped on the banks of the St Lawrence this summer I thought it was a much better barrier along with lake Ontario.

Same thing here - winds have been straight-line since last night steady over 30 mph. We've had extended periods with the wind steady over 50 mph. Sounds like a train going by when it comes from just the right direction. Really glad I installed the 'optional' support wires on my vertical ham antenna. Temp will go from high of 38F to single digits tonight. Can't wait for spring. This is starting to wear me out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merry Knoll was on a slope but the sites were level. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
