Strike that! Winter is back. This weather rollercoaster is making me drink! Well, that and my knee being messed up and my transmission needing notched for the speed and reference sensors and that it's a day that ends in day.

I ran the sprinklers all night to try to save the apple and strawberry blossoms.
This year I'm saying "screw it, if I want apples I'll go to Krogers."

I rolled out the kerosene "smudge pot" for the apple blossoms tonight.

Spring?

I can ship anyone that wants one a big box of:
- 5% humidity
- 30-40 mph winds
- eye-cream for your now chapped and bleeding eyeballs
- a fire extinguisher for maybe in case you even think of rubbing your hands together
- a yellow-haze on every surface, full of magic particles that are just waiting to jack you up (OK, maybe that's just me)

Seriously, this was not what they advertised when they said "come to New Mexico - it's great!"

I kinda want my money back...

5% :eek: I hope you are exagerating.

We are 75% today, which is just an ordinary day.

Mind you... If you could box up some of that heat and send it my way it would be much appreciated - we are heading into winter :(

But it's not all doom and gloom, it's still warm here. A topless 18 year old blonde girl came out of the surf this morning and my two dogs ran up to say hello. And I tought it was polite to chat about water temp's etc ;)

Looks like Southfork in the second picture. Cool! Will JR be in later?

Did they shut down the highways and have businesses close? :)

Discussion is underway to determine if any closings are needed 😁

Snow on the ground a few days ago, and in a few days supposed to hit 80F degrees.

Good news is, the buds and blossoms seem to have survived the short term cold snap.

It is cooler this week.
Solar heating and a pool cover helped warm up the water.
Last week the pool was 85 and we had the first swim of the season.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1619106400.jpg

Taken ten or so years ago about this time of year - I haven't seen it like this luckily again but it was a proper 1% RH. I didn't even think that was possible...

My outside thermometer shows 47degrees right now.
With the 12mph wind...it's not fun being outside.
