Good to be back...??
Original Message Jan 31, 2005 10:05 am

Hey Guys,
Just thought I'd post to say I survived the last ten days cruising the western Carribean and Mexico....left in the high eighties, and came back to Buffalo being 4 degrees. It's good to be home, but I did not miss the weather.

Boy, crusing is the life and I think it will be a regular thing now.......

My son learned that it is harder to snowblow AFTER you have driven on the driveway with cars and snowmobiles over and over. I was able to get in, but will need to clean out the driveway "up to my specs"...........

Looks like you guys have been busy here..........it will take me awhile to get caught up with all the threads......

Frank- Don't tell us that you miss one of the biggest storms of the year on that cruise and you still didn't get a chance to use that blower ! - Kris

Yeah Kris,
I missed the big storm.......thankfully, we flew out the day before....some people actually missed the cruise they paid for because of it.
Life is about choices, and my wife actually thought it best to still take the cruise and miss the snowstorm.......she seemed to think we would probably get more, and the new snowblower would still be in good hands with my son..........not wanting to be smothered in my sleep and then put threw the working end of that snowblower...(bet it would work!)....I deferred to my wife's wishes........

We were surrounded by people from down south who thought 40 degrees was cold..........wusses.........when it does get that warm up here we put our shorts on and go make snow angels!
