Q G , I saw the first bulleton of J F K shooting and the second airplane hit the second tower , but can you believe , I missed the snow ?We left just before it hit and made a trip to Abilene,Tex to get a boat I had been trying to buy off my brother for 40 years. He gave it to me and said "Come and get it , you've waited long enough , it's yours " I spent the most miserable , bone numbing cold there,getting tires and greasing bearings . We got back to Austin ,Tx for Christmas day with my son and took off for the coast that afternoon . No snow, I repeat , No snow when we finally got back . Not a trace , anywhere ! It was so cold in Abilene , we bought an oil heater to keep the dogs warm in the van.
Thank you so much for the link , at least I got to see pictures of it .I don't know where the global warming is , but it hasn't been here the last 3 or 4 winters. We've already had two light freezes . Hugs , P S , The boat is a 12' Skimster and can find no information on it . Perfect , orignal condition , no one has ever heard of it and has the metal name plate on it .
