Hi Allen,
Well I wish I had the right connections for you, but I don't. We put up with
that type of weather everyday in the summer. This is why we get most of our
work
done before noon out here and then like our friends South of the border we take
a
siesta in the afternoon.
I think a thank you is in order because it looks like your weather kind of got
stuck out here on the West Coast. I love it as long as you keep the snow. I
had
my fill of snow this weekend in the Sierra's, Yes there is still snow up there.
The main problem was the first hatch of mosquitos. I almost got eaten alive,
they were so thick I couldn't breath without inhaling 3 or 4. When you are
backpacking up at 10,000' it is impossible to keep your mouth closed, there just
isn't enough air. I didn't even get a pole in the water, they were eating me
right through the 100% deat I use.
Tell you what, I'll give you back your weather if you take your mosquitos back
too.
Keep your chin up, I'm sure next weekend will be better.
