Figures. I haven't been to a show yet that it wasn't lousy weather. One year a group of us went down in a van driving through blizzard-like conditions.
At least on Saturday I might not have to wear my winter coat!

Yeah, I guess that it would to you!
I don't trust the weather forecasts around here, even The Weather Channel has been way off the past few weeks.

You mean it could be worse than predicted?

With Toledo sitting right on Lake Erie, you can never tell what the weather will be like coming across the lake. I see this all the time living about 35 miles in from Lake Michigan. Things can get better or worse once a front comes in.
I only took one shot outdoors there last year, one of the ballpark next door.
I shot this one while crossing the street trying not to get run over. It doesn't show the cold and the wind.

Usually, Toledo was my first sighting of liquid persipitation for that year.

This year we had a few 70 degree days. Most of the lakes have even thawed. Then we got hit with 6" of snow and today was the first day that went above freezing in over almost two weeks! And it only went to 35.

We're getting an Indian Winter

I was hoping to meet all of you guys from here there. It will be my pleasure. Just look for a guy wearing a black Navy jacket with LOTS of patches and a Retired Navy ballcap and you've got me.

In regards to the weather, my Mother wanted me to bring along one of my Trainers to fly with the Niece and Nephew, but judging by the outlook, I won't get any stick time in, so I'll leave it at home for their visit to NJ in July. leaves more room to bring stuff home in the car! (Did I say that?!?).

Also, I'll be bringing my Blond friend, she has 4 legs, but no flies or fleas for the weekend, since she can't stand to be away from Daddy. do you think they'll allow her into the center? She is my Club's official Mascot after all.

No Problem, except that they may take advantage of her! Anyhow, here's me, during one of my more "happier" times....

That's a 50 Cal Desert Eagle that I was shooting with my Sea Cadets during their yearly marksmaship training. We were giving them 2 shots a piece with that hand cannon....what a nice pistol. BTW, did I mention that Im the Commanding Officer of my local Sea Cadet Unit? You can go here to see the caliber of Young People I'm helping to bring along.

Don't use "www" in front of it, because it wont work. Anyhow, my Club will be taking them to their next Annual Flying Day in August this year, as long as the weather holds out. See you all in Toledo!

Don

I'll have on my black RCU shirt with my name on it. So if you see me wandering around please introduce yourself. If you see Minnflyer standing next to me, ignore him and introduce yourself anyways!! [X(]
