is the long range model for this week, you'll have to de-code it, but
that
storm that's headed this way is primarily wind, no moisture, best chance
is
61% for Thursday at OSH, and that's a 50% chance of a thunderstorm, so it
could be spotty, sky cover either clear or partly cloudy, lows in the
60's,
highs in the mid to high 80s.


Windy now (25mph) in the Twin Cities at 11:00 am, temps have dropped (20F)
to the mid 70's. No rain.


We're flying (It's a Frontier jet *called* Casino Express) to Elko, NV
tomorrow. $88 per person - RT flight, 3 nights hotel ...includes EVERYTHING,
except food. Visa was charged $176 for two of us - that's it. Price even
covers the ride to and from the airport :-)

I know, I know - they would like us to gamble. But how do I wager on
Football mini-camps??? g

We'll rent a car once out there and maybe head into Utah or Idaho for a
look-see. Margene's mom just got back from her $75 per person 3 night stay
vacation package - from Minot, ND. She said it was a little toasty out by
the pool.

This will be fun, I haven't been west of Denver since 1988.


Montblack - chasing the heat.

If you like lamb, there are a couple of Basque restaurants over by the
Stockmen's Hotel that have the absolute best lamb I've had on the planet.
Don't miss them if you are a lamb fan. They serve home-style which means
they keep on bringing more out of the kitchen until you say "enough".

What hotel do they stuff you into in Elko? BTW, that means you are coming
home Friday, and Jack Allison and I will be coming directly over Elko
International Friday about 9 on our way to Torrington. Tell the captain of
that torch to watch for a blue 182 or an Arrow on climbout. If you've got a
handheld radio I'll give you a call going over if you haven't boarded yet.

Ya Paul, you warn that executive mail tube driver that a couple low
level slow movers are in the area or you could hear something like this
on frequency: "Blue lead, Arrow-1, good missile tone on the MD-80,
engaging...".

Paul...Elko? Man, one more state left and you'd be in the promised land
of CA! I know you're just trying to weasel a ride in the Arrow and if
it wasn't stuffed full of camping gear...well, you know the rest.

Best Western Gold Country Motor Inn - Elko, Nevada (I think). It might be
the Red Lion Inn & Casino across the street. It's either/or with this
outfit. Looks to be east of town 1 mile, on Idaho St.

Scheduled to depart Elko with my winnings at 8 am Friday :-)

We only get two full days (Wed and Thur) in Elko..../Idaho/Utah g

I'll be bringing my 12 year old Rat Shack Pro 51 Hyper-Scan 200 channel
scanner ...set to what?

122.75 this side of the Rockies. We'll switch to 123.3 if it isn't too
populated from Nebraska eastward.
