Re: It is coming - FALL

Crossing fingers for an indian summer. ;)
Fall here is usually warm if not hot, mind you it is 45f/6c this morning and this cold front from the north is moving through.
Should be 75f/25c ++++ for this long weekend. :D

Re: It is coming - FALL

Well I might get booed for this but I am ready for fall... It has been a HOT summer here 100+ temps every week for a couple months.. Its 96 here today but the high's in the 80's here for next week I am excited.. A little off topic but every year here they have a christmas "parade" on the river where boats decorate and float down the river and alot of ppl come watch them.. I was wondering if it was worth waiting to winterize my boat until then...

It looks like it will be near 80 for the 3 day weekend, beautiful break from this oppressively hot Summer we've had. I think I've spent more time in the water than in the boat!

I'm kinda torn between wanting the summer weather to continue, and wanting the rain to come back to quiet the bush down for deer season. ;) Although after having a miserable rainy/windy day today and having to work outside all day is making me lean towards more sun! It's been nice not having to mow the lawn since early July. Brown is beautiful! :D Just got back from a wedding just outside of 100 mile house (Sheridan Lake) and the nights were a lot cooler up there than down here on the coast. I usually don't even winterize my boat as I sometimes use it in dec/jan! Just make sure to drain the leg/block each time just in case of a bitter cold snap of -3C. :p :D

the desert rules. hot enough in the winter to still go to the river. wouldnt want to ski but you can still run up and down the river with no problems. 110 to 120 everyday for over three months gets old. hope you northerners get to stay out on the lake for a couple more weeks.

I'm going to finally swap the 455 into my Pontiac this off season, if it kills me!

What do you have? I have a 67 GTO clone with a 350 in it now, but have a built(450 hp or so) 455 ready to go in.

WOO HOO! Dropped down to 61 here overnight. The predicted low was 66, but the temp went lower still. Awesome. The high yesterday was only 91 and the air has been dry. Sweet.

Supposed to be more of the same for the rest of the week! :D

Very cool, Skargo! '68 GTO, the real deal. 455's didn't come out until '70. My motor is a '73. You may have seen this already. I posted it up a couple of times.....

I feel sorry for ya'll up in the northern states. I've been struggling trying to keep up with the apples all the trees started dropping them early. I lost the entire load on one of them in the back pasture went to mow last week and they were on the ground, funny since they don't usually ripen till the end of September. However, as far as boating season remember Carpe Diem.
