LIPH- Does the Armidillo have to be live? Yes I am dredging up posts from over 200 pages ago but I have been trying to get one for the tailgate. Something about letting one go to a party and having a shark fin tied to his back while wearing shades- just turns them off

dang it. Oh well maybe something will come up

That's not Amarillo.... That's Lubbock... "The Giant Side of Stupid"

I partied with you all at the Texas Stadium 2004 tailgate and look forward to seeing everyone again.

Cheers,

Much calmer here now. We had a soccer game at 12:30 and it wasn't bad.

Yesterday afternoon was crazy. I went down to wash the boat around 5:30 yesterday, and it was pretty calm. Around 6PM the wind picked up out of nowhere. At 6:15 NOAA was reporting sustained winds out of the north at 43 mph, gusting to 57.

There's a windsurf park near the marina, and a windsurfer went down. The fire and rescue boat is on our dock, and they went out to get the guy. They said the waves were 4-5 ft, which is pretty big for our lake.

Oh and the temperature dropped about 20 degrees behind the front - it was pretty wild...

Actually, I never attended TTU. I teach there (Assistant Prof. in Engineering) I'm originally from St. Louis.

By the way, what hotel's do y'all recommend. FourPlay metioned some in the Market Center area. Any suggestions?

changed planes in Dallas on March 31 on the way to Maui. Pretty sure I saw Hoot Island as we took off to the South - it was on the left side of the plane, to the right of the tall buildings.

Here is the sunrise over Haleakala from Wednesday morning.
