I do like some of the funny pet videos...

OM45GE - Posted - 03/06/2017:  14:13:45

I miss a lot of that stuff because I don't go on often.

DeanT - Posted - 03/06/2017:  19:12:09

The news just showed two semis that got blown off I-70 in the high winds today.

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/06/2017:  22:02:58

Must've been empty or had light loads,,,or just hit a cross wind gust

OM45GE - Posted - 03/07/2017:  02:47:52

That's a mighty wind. 

DeanT - Posted - 03/07/2017:  06:15:03

Sustained winds were near 40 mph, with gusts much higher yesterday. Wild fires all over the place. 

OM45GE - Posted - 03/07/2017:  06:32:24

We had winds like that a few days ago. They don't last like yours do.

DeanT - Posted - 03/07/2017:  13:11:59

winds were only in the 30's today, it was relatively a nice calm day.

OM45GE - Posted - 03/07/2017:  13:51:29

Hold onto your hat!

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/07/2017:  15:50:18

Calm, sunny and cold in Calgary

DeanT - Posted - 03/07/2017:  16:53:29

At least all the leaves blew out of my yard...

OM45GE - Posted - 03/07/2017:  17:12:47

That would be nice 👍 

DeanT - Posted - 03/07/2017:  18:53:51

There are some cool advantages. I cleaned out my gutters, and not a single leave landed in my yard

OM45GE - Posted - 03/08/2017:  02:55:55

That doesn't happen here. 

dat - Posted - 03/08/2017:  11:07:03

Windy and rainy here, but temps are low 70 / high 60s.

DeanT - Posted - 03/08/2017:  13:03:19

almost feels calm at 20 mph today. That's pretty much normal Kansas 24-7

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/08/2017:  13:26:45

supposed to be +1*F tmrrw....,sheesh,,I left Arizona for this?!

OM45GE - Posted - 03/08/2017:  13:59:13

Daniel visited! How are you doing?

DeanT - Posted - 03/11/2017:  07:16:16

It's almost green beer time

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2017:  08:13:21

None 4 me, thnx. I'll have a lemon-lime pop instead

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2017:  12:02:06

I'll have the beer but skip the green.

DeanT - Posted - 03/11/2017:  15:11:39

I'll have coffee, and wear a greet t-shirt

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2017:  16:12:59

That's an even better idea Dean. 

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2017:  16:17:41

I'll play "Si Bheag, shi Mhor"

Oh my...

DeanT - Posted - 03/11/2017:  16:33:36

google says that means big fairy small fairy....

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2017:  17:10:31

I'd also heard it meant big and small fairy hill. 

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2017:  18:02:17

Even the Newfoundlanders say they see fairies in the woods

Around here (at our weekly "Celtic fiddle jam", it's been renamed to "She Begged For More".

 A local developer battled with the planning board over a subdivision he wanted to build. Once he got approval and started construction he named the street "Pog Mo Thoin". The town took him to court to get him to take it down but lost. 

DeanT - Posted - 03/12/2017:  18:16:56

I had to google that too

OM45GE - Posted - 03/13/2017:  02:53:59

I haven't been back in that area for a while. I wonder if it's still called that. 

DeanT - Posted - 03/13/2017:  15:59:26

Basketball everywhere!!!

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/13/2017:  16:26:45

Uh,oh ...too much hockey and baseball for me right now

DeanT - Posted - 03/13/2017:  17:49:19

Lots of soccer on the sports channels lately too

OM45GE - Posted - 03/14/2017:  05:03:34

I'm waiting for Formula One to start up again.

DeanT - Posted - 03/14/2017:  06:44:57

I'm happy Nascar is going again, and they are crashing like crazy, and fighting after races, in the pits. What more could you want?

OM45GE - Posted - 03/14/2017:  06:50:51

NASCAR does put on a good show. I've just been following F-1 since the 1960's and love it.

Edited by - OM45GE on 03/14/2017 06:51:07

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/14/2017:  07:13:51

I used to follow F-1 a bit,,maybe I will again,,sounds interesting

OM45GE - Posted - 03/14/2017:  07:52:11

Nothing else quite like it. The cars are amazing and the drivers are superhuman.

DeanT - Posted - 03/14/2017:  17:32:18

The worst part of Nascar is the rain delays

OM45GE - Posted - 03/15/2017:  03:11:33

F1 occasionally delays a race if there's a deluge but they usually keep racing. That can be exciting. 

DeanT - Posted - 03/15/2017:  11:07:03

I've always thought Nascar needs to just change tires and keep going!

OM45GE - Posted - 03/15/2017:  14:57:19

Formula One full wet rain tires pump 16 gallons of water off the track PER SECOND at 180 MPH.

DeanT - Posted - 03/15/2017:  16:46:36

They need to come dry the Nascar tracks when it rains...

OM45GE - Posted - 03/16/2017:  02:39:31

I still don't know how they drive that fast in the rain. When the show in car camera shots the visibility is terrible. 

DeanT - Posted - 03/16/2017:  06:53:20

maybe they are self driving cars in disguise...

OM45GE - Posted - 03/16/2017:  07:23:37

LOL

I don't know if the link will work as it's from a paid F1 site I belong to, but here's a 19 year old doing some amazing things in the rain last season.

The link worked,Bill. That was amazing, the kid's got IT!
