Title: BackMARKr: Take the day off tomorrow
Post by: Burt Munro on January 26, 2009, 10:07:12 PM
May not seem like much to folks further North - around these parts it's time to call off school!

I agree, that's a dusting of snow. Mark, the 28 degree weather down there was a heck of a lot better than the -6 we had here when I left Sat. morning. I glad I'm going to cancun in 3 weeks!! Good to see you guys too! Didn't open the wine on the way home. Figured driving 6 hours drunk wouldn't be a good idea.

Yeah, was pretty fun.  I'm in training for next year now.  I need to ride a big ice bike more often.  Mason's team finished 8th overall on the same lap as the leaders, which was awesome.  We were the B Team.  40th overall.  I know I crashed twice on my last stint in the woops, and we spent an easy two laps in the pits replacing the front ice fender with another when the first one came off.  Would have put us up ten to twenty positions if that didn't happen.

I love living in Missouri, but the snow thing still kills me.  They will close schools down here based on FORECASTS alone. lol

I remember being a kid in Michigan and getting something like 21 inches of lake effect snow overnight.  But here in MO- people rush to the store and buy milk and bread if they suggest we're even getting an inch!

Ahhh....the insanity. :)

I used to tell my son that "I walked to school, up hill, both ways, in the snow"  :blahblah:
Then we moved back home for 6 months...................... :rollseyes:
And you can guess the rest of the story!  :whine:
