SCCA Solo event #1 is CANCELLED due to weather!
As of 4:58 am this morning, the weather doesn't seem to be getting any better.
The track of the storm hasn't moved to the east as some of the forecasts had predicted.
Additional snow fall is being shown for most of the Metroplex.
This event will have to be made up at a later date at a site to be determined later.

Brad, what about the "spare tire" contest? Will the weigh in default to the next event or what?
The goal was to lose the spare tire, not grow one.Quote:

Luckily we only had a handful of folks show up to PF before they got the word.

Nice Job Iain! I sure wish I had gotten off my butt and gone to the last weight-in. I guess hindsight is truly 20-20.Quote:

I reset my target weight from 180 (I'm at 188 right now, down from 215) to 170. I know my progress will slow down a bit when the baby comes, but I actually look forward to getting on the treadmill these days. It gives me an outlet for life's daily frustrations.
Thanks... I had started off much worse than you and still have a ways to go, but it is coming along. Started at 241 in Mid September, at 188 as of this morning, and hope to get under 170 some time this summer.Quote:

As I stood outside performing my greeter duties I thought, "Brad is a genius!" and I was out of the wind.
I just read the following note from the Arlington PD (crime watch email list)
I am very glad I didn't have to stand around in a parking lot today, and I think we would have lost every novice who attended the school yesterday if we'd had an event in this mess. Doing the school before the next event is a good plan all the way around, and I hope it works out that way.Quote:
Arlington police responded to a multiple vehicle wreck on the westbound lanes of Interstate 30 at Fielder Road at about 6:30 a.m. Sunday, March 21, 2010. Early into the investigation officers learned that one person died in the wreck involving two 18-wheelers and as many as five vehicles. The westbound lanes of the highway remain shut down and some lanes of eastbound Interstate 30 have also been closed, as investigators begin to determine the circumstances surrounding the major accident. Road conditions, possibly ice, are believed to have been a factor in the fatal wreck.
I had today off, so I slept in. I woke up at 10 this morning and threw on shoes and a t-shirt because the dog was desperate to go out and pee.
I hadn't looked out a window....
Walked outside... brain registered snow right about the time the wind hit me and certain parts of my anatomy retreated into my body cavity.
I hate the cold. humbug.
