Is it really Spring?
« on: May 25, 2005, 07:47:23 AM »
Good Grief!!!   Is it really Spring?  You sure couldn't tell by the temperatures.  

Here in good 'ole central Md. (California of the Mid-Atlantic) we have had only five days where the temperature has reached 80 degrees, compared to 17 by this time last year.  The temps have been in the 50's all week and its rained since Monday.  This morning it was 47 degrees when I left for work.  I don't know the last time its been in the 70's.  There may have been a 70 degree day last week, if I recall correctly.  

We've have so much rain and no sunshine to evaporate it that I have to wear my pasture boots at the range, when I can get there, which has been well over two weeks ago.  The caretaker cannot get the tractor down there to cut the grass for fear it will sink.  The grass is about a foot high.  The next time I get a chance to go to the range, I'll have to take the weedeater to cut a path so I can wade through the water.

I've put less than 150 miles on the H-D this year, so far.  And it's almost June!!!!  UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!

It was reported on the news this morning that Boston had a windchill of 37 degrees and Maine's coastline was getting hammered by the storm that wont leave us alone.

Me thinks Mother Nature is seriously P.O'd with the Mid-Atlantic.

Can't shoot.  Can't ride the scooter.  Cleaned the Handi's too many time's already.  Got enought bullets loaded to last two Summer's.

Guess I've rambled enough.

Thanks for the indulgence.

Man i know what you mean. The weather hasn't been worth **** here either. I dont mind the colder temperatures but the rain and the wind are a pain in the ***. If it aint raining here the wind's blowin so bad it aint worth the drive to the range. It aint rainin today so i thought i would go to plink with the 44 mag and 223. When i got up the wind was blowin about 30 mph. THIS WEATHER IS CRAZY. With the way its goin im not gonna be able to shoot for the postal match. :cry:  :cry:  :cry:
