Ray...I've got the golf solution for you. You've got to get one of those swing machines setup down in the basement. You can load up different courses and virtually play them until it is warm enough to play outside. You could probably even run some speaker wire down there and get some B speakers hooked up the receiver, unless you need complete quiet while playing. I'm just looking for an excuse to get you some more speakers as part of the deal.

I had a BBQ on Saturday, went wine tasting on Sunday, and went to the beach Monday. I am going to school in Flipflops, shorts, and a tshirt today. No Winter woes here.
Hooray for California.

We're up to a balmy 20 degrees in Nashville now. You and Craig and Curtis can...you can...
Oh, hell. Enjoy your good fortune.

All work and no play makes Ray a dull boy.
Sounds like the Overlook Hotel at Ray3 Manor.
50 degrees and two inches of rain in the Puget Sound region yesterday (and every day until further notice). So, typical winter. I would not be able to handle that obscene cold some of you folks get. Engine block heaters, snow blowers, etc. There are places on this earth that are unsuitable for human habitation.
I periodically point out to my parents (whose Volga-German immigrant ancestors settled in Kansas 120 years ago) that, coming from Siberia, they didn't stop in the new world until they found someplace that seemed just as horrific as the one they left. I think the same principle applies to the Scandinavians that landed in Minnesota.
I know cheap land had more to do with it, really, but still...

You bet your tennis racket we're gonna be mad at you! All three of you California beach bums are summarily banned from any "Winter Sucks" threads from this point forward. (MAN! Just get going commiserating with my fellow ice cubes and THEY gotta show up with their "shorts and flip flops," and "playing tennis." Mumble grumble, dirty Rackin'' frackin'')
It was 3 degrees here in Cleveland when I woke up this morning. It's all the way up to 15 degrees now. WOO WOO! The only good thing is the sun is shining brightly. We've got 4 to 6 inches of snow on the ground. Since Dec 10th, we've only had about 5 or 6 days when we've seen the grass, and I'm fast approaching the "I'm going bonkers" stage of cabin fever. And, there's 3 more months to go. AAARRRRGGGHHH!
