Members garytees Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 Been one heck of a summer. Retired and hit the road. Just travelling. Caught Nazareth at a concert and had them sign my road bass (cheap Squier P). Traded it in for another. Came across an accident and helped lift a Caravan off an 8 yr old kid (she's ok, broken leg and driver had broken hip). Helluva thunder storm last night.

Members L-1329 Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 This summer has been, and will continue to be one of the best ever. I sure don't want it to end anytime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 This summer has blown momkey nuts. Setting aside all the personal crap in my life that is enough to bring a man down on it's own, the weather has been nothing short of biblical. Golf ball sized hail, torrential downpours unlike nothing I have ever witnessed before, and every 48 hours at that. I had to pull my fall/winter coat out yesterday it was so chilly... again. All we need is a plague of locusts and we're about good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members garytees Posted August 11, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 Is that the VM P? Yes, it's the 2nd one I've owned. Paid too much new ($350) and got too little ($115) on a trade-in. What the hell, I`ve given up on these I guess. The Affinity P is actually a better bass except for the machine heads.

Members freeridstylee Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 I hate playing gigs in the summer, so I look forward to winter for that reason, but other then that I'm in no rush for it to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y-o-y Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 Nope. The last two weeks have been beautiful. We have only had one really hot spell and a few days of relatively high humidity (for here). I wouldn't mind a couple rainy days though...it is really dry.

Members Crescent Seven Posted August 11, 2008 Members Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm summered out. Only because of the heat, though. Other than that, I've camped more, 4-wheeled more, and caught more fish than the last 5 summers combined, so it's been really good for me. I wish work was going better, but that's up to me, I guess. Fall is a good time for me, too. I get anxious for snowboarding, my bands generally work more, and it cools off to a comfortable 75 degrees for a couple of months before the snow starts to fly.C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C7 I haven't been able to go camping once this year. Our weather has been the {censored}tiest I have ever known in my life, and I grew up in BC. Seriously, we've had biblical level torrential downpours every 48 hours maximum for over 6 weeks now. No exaggeration, every other day. We have not had one what I would call genuinely nice day this summer, not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exaggeration, every other day. We have not had one what I would call genuinely nice day this summer, not one. Denver went over a month without any recordable precipitation. I haven't been rained on camping at all this year. Mixed blessing; our mountain soil is very, very sandy, so if it's dry, it's super dusty. Last year, we were camping next to a small creek, and a storm came through. It rained so hard we almost had to climb to higher ground; if the storm had originated in the drainage basin above us, we would have been flooded out. The creek rose 4 feet in about an hour. So I know your pain. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a 3 foot deep washout of a road in person before. I've been stuck in it a few times now. It's not a river overflowing, though that does happen too, it's the storm drains and sewers backing up and overflowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
