Yea, what Richard said... I knew there was a reason for the discrepancy but I couldn't remember what it was for the life of me ... or what the fix is! Thanks. Richard! (And you're right, he really DOES want to live in AZ anyway!)

Second step is to turn off that stupid Daylight Savings Time. It is all smoke and mirrors and does not save anything...

If it was good enough for Ben Franklin. It's good enough for us.

It is all a vast plot by THOSE Folks. We save up all of that daylight during the Summer, but can we get it back in the Winter???? No THEY take it and hide it from us!

Make life simple and go to GMT

Mike, what is the weather forecast for the big Q during the rally? I did check Accu Weather and they were giving sunny with highs in the 65-70 range with lows in the mid-40s to lower 50s.

How much wind? Do we need the lead bowling balls to keep things in place?

ScrapIrony-2 · 11-13-2011, 10:00 PM

My magic weather ball site only advances the next 10 days, then it gives averages...I can, however, tell you that it is currently cool(low 50's), partly cloudy(GREAT moon rise), and just a hint of breeze

...most enjoyable with a pull-over...no wood-no fire, but the back seat of the Maxima is beginning to look a bit flammable

...
I find time zones important to my work...oh...wait...I DON'T work...reckon that's why my alarm clock is in a drawer in Colorado

ScrapIrony-2 · 11-15-2011, 08:10 PM

I will post directions to the rally as soon as I can figure my way to LAST year's directions which came from the year before that...pm me if you arrive early and need them soonest, or if yer already here, or if yer just bored...mike

Howard E · 11-17-2011, 08:47 PM

Mike et. al.

We are going with one big turkey instead of two smaller birds - more meat when when split. Will roast one half and smudge the other half. 8 to 9 pounds each side!

Red Chile gravy to go with the green chile mashed potatoes.
Some conventional gravy also.
Dressing
Got Carolyn a big bag of cranberries so who knows what she will do with them.
Something like pumpkin cheese cake is also in the works.

Will be bringing firewood.

Plan on shoving off on Monday so we should be in on Tuesday or Wednesday - all depends on how long it takes Greg to fit the new cushions in the 'stream.

Eagle & Bear · 11-18-2011, 07:46 PM

We just found out that we bent the frame while traveling this summer. Won't be able to travel to Q until it is repaired.

ScrapIrony-2 · 11-18-2011, 09:38 PM

Howard&Carolyn,
B U R P!!!...ok, got my fork, spoon, fingers, and large towel...

Eagle&Bear,
You will be missed...hope you get it straightened out...we'll be here...

Howard E · 11-19-2011, 08:47 AM

Don't forget that the pooches will be in Hoover mode for clean-up duty.

You all have fun.

I will be in CA working and giving the State of CA 86 cents every hour I work here.BUT someone has to support all the freeloaders here.

ScrapIrony-2 · 11-20-2011, 07:19 AM

$180...7 months...$0.85 a night...if I was in la-la land, I'd be making $0.07 a week on the dole...
It won't be the same without Jimmini and loco Lucy.
Who's gonna keep me from squattin' with my spurs on?
Coffee's on, sun's a risin', gentle breeze from the horizon...ok, got that poet thing figured out...

ScrapIrony-2 · 11-21-2011, 08:04 AM

John pulled in yesterday late afternoon with Jewel the black lab...
Tony and Phil will come over from the 'compound' for the feast...
We'll be heading to Parker today for last minute victuals and all the other unnecessary stuff a big box has to offer...will put up the arrows this afternoon.
!5 minutes of sprinkle at coffee time this am.

jimmini · 11-21-2011, 05:11 PM
