I've had some rough weeks at work; so, I'm very much looking forward to this vacation at Long's Peak. I hope it gets good and chilly!

If the rest of this summer is any indication, it will be. We have been averaging mid 80's in the hottest part of the summer, so I imagine in 3 weeks, especially in the mountains, it will be getting chilly. I think we're in for a wild winter here. I love snow! BRING IT ON EL NINO!!

I wouldn't be surprised if we woke up to some "partly cloudies" on the ground that weekend. A few years ago we had about 6 inches of snow on the Friday night of the games. Be sure to bring your heaviest kilt.

Be careful what you wish for.

I hear, but I'm asking for Houston Chilly, not Colorado mountain chilly.

I don't have the funds this year to go, perhaps next year. It is a stunning place, and if your lucky, you can even stay at the hotel in the "Shining."

Remember, you will be at high altitude, so you will run out of breath fast, and get drunk faster. Drink more water than you think you need. Hike a 14er in your kilt. Easy one would be Grays. Or, you could cheat and drive up Evans or Pikes.

Have a Blast!

Anyone else going to be here for the games? There are less than 10 days away. I know mudd, GMan, Nighthawk and Jack Daw are going to be here. How about any more of the Colorado rabble?

Weather is going to be 65F, 60% chance of showers on Friday; 68F with 20% chance on Sat. That means it WILL rain on Friday and might on Sat. Should be nice and sunny most of Sat.

Is anyone planning on getting together on Friday afternoon or evening?

**Livingston** · 4th September 09, 06:36 AM

I'll be on the grounds on Friday afternoon but am going to the Celtic concert Friday evening. If you would like, we could meet up at the backstop for the ball diamond about 2 pm. Or suggest another time if it is better for you.
