    No rain yet in Siloam, I figured that all the unpainted lumber I have nailed up it would have to.:rofl

    It looks/sounds like Westville is getting drenched though.

    Good to hear you got a raise, and a job. Why not start to the instrument rating right away, sounds like the way to go, as they got a heck of a pay increase. i don't blame you for wanting to fly the C135, then move up to the clouds, and better pay. Does the company help pay for the training to get your instrument rating? If so go for it, for many reasons. It is pretty easy

    I know you're sick of your job Elvis, but I'd be thrilled just to have a job and get a raise at the moment? I bet you make a pretty darn good wage doing what you do.

    I'll decline comment on the unions.

    Palo Duro is ok if you have never seen any thing at all in your life. But you will have to see . Some of us just cant see the forest for the woods . That could be me. Let us know what you think after a day there. Be sure and take a ride on the brass monkey train. I will try to be in Amarillo next week and I will try to make it to Lubbock is there any thing you need from here.

    Palo Duro Canyon:

    Hope you have better luck at seeing than I did. Once I got there, there was just this big crevice in the earth... if that Palo Duro thing was down there at the bottom, I couldn't see it on account of it was too far down.

    Same with the forests I've tried to see. Once I get there, can't see it for all the trees in the way.

    I had a pair of those goggles once with pres lenses. Sure could see good but they did not fit the enduro/hs "look" very well. Maybe it would have been better with a goatee snd stash.

    We went for a morning ride to take advantage of lower temps. We got p-o-u-r-e-d on. The dog didn't like it too much but all in all it was a pretty decent ride.
