    So in '02 the trip across I-70 was in question because of the Hayman and several other fires. In 03 or 04 it was the big sinkhole on Vail Pass. Heard a blurb this morning on the radio about parts of 70 being closed around Junction because of flooding.

    You hear anything about this Todd??

    Hopefully things will calm down by next week!

    If it's any consolation though, wacky weather and natural disasters have usually matched up with me NOT breaking anything at GSW. LOL

    There was a pretty good fire on the mesa by GJ last year Dave - coincided with you destroying your rig ya know.

    Then again, that was after GSW, so maybe you set that fucker on your way out

    It was already burning by the time we got there! I had forgotten about that one. The fire west of Glenwood was a lot closer to the highway though, and looked bigger too. So when crazy shit happens BEFORE GSW I'm good.

    But then nothing happened the year I ripped a UCA mount off the unibody, bent an axle shaft, and taco'd both front UCA's within about 30 seconds. Oh wait, Pam did say yes when I asked her to marry me, that's a miracle in itself, LOL

    I'm thinking it is an every other year thing. 2005 you busted all your shit and got a fiance; 2006 was uneventful, 2007 you busted your shit day one and got...umm....two busted ass tires as well (2005 was a better "bust" year for you) so this year - the gods willing- we should be fine?

    Why is it you are always busting your shit but I manage to keep it all together?

    What we can't compete with in the news as far as tornados goes, we make up with other bizzare things on the Western Slope. Arf, arf, arf...

    Good thing the tornado's are in eastern Colorado. I hope the guy is a non smoker.

    That would be funny, similar to the guy up north of Parchute that build his fireplace out of shale (oil shale that is) and burned his cabin up when they were first setteling (sp) that area.

    Now if he built it out of hemp... Yea officer all the neighbors came over the help put the fire out, but then got out the marshmellows.
