These two and others hate for you to mention warm weather
conditions. They just started their seasons, and mine,
Texas, is over halfway finished. NFHS, that is. The rest
is just starting to get good.

Welcom,
 
Welcome to the forum and to the avocation
Don't let those yankess bother you too much about the weather, they are just jealous.
I say their weather would get better if they got rid of those accents.

HEHEHE

Anyhow, welcome and enjoy the wisdom of those who have been where you are now.

A man who worked computer support center for a large auto-parts distributor came back from lunch one day, and found a message to call a customer named Bubba at a parts store in Texas.

A man answered, "Auto Parts. This is Dave".

"May I speak to Bubba?" the man asked.

"That's me," he replied. "Dave's my nickname."

:D :D :D

SanDiegoBlue Tue Apr 13, 2004 10:18am

Thanks for all the warm welcome's and yes the weather out here is great. And believe me we pay for it. Season runs from February to end of May.

Qualifiers start mid June.

Is that why the taxes are so high out there???? ;)

mcrowder Tue Apr 13, 2004 10:34am

Weather
 
Umping here in Texas, and guess what - you Yankees have cursed me. It was freezing fricking cold last night, and (again - I live in Texas) I own no "Cold Weather Gear" - at least not for baseball/softball.

40 degrees. In Texas. In April. WTF!

Spostaby ("It's supposed to be") 40 agin ("again") tonight. Dammit. ("Dammit")

SanDiegoBlue Tue Apr 13, 2004 10:47am

That's one of the reasons Taxes are high, Home values are through the roof.
3bed 2bath 1200
SQ ft home built in say 1960 (fixer upper)$380,000

Not to mention $2.45 for a gallon of gas. But it is beautiful here, Beach 10 minutes away, Mountains 1 hour away
Some good fishing too Ocean and Lakes but no streams or rivers close their all north of LA.

Coldest temp at my house this winter 45
Hottest temp my house last summer 90
