Greg,

I'm for it of course and it sounds like Larry is too. Let's see how many others chime in.

Jack.

I hear ya Larry... even being a Washington native myself I sometimes can't get past the rain!!! My wife and I have been looking at a place in Surprise, AZ at a place called Sun Village which is a very nice 55 and better community. We really like it down there and we have family and friends there as well so we'll see. I'm already real estate poor up here with 3 places so I dunno if I wanna go with 4 but sometimes you just need to get outta the rain!

All I know is even with all the rain, when it's nice, sunny and warm here there's no place more beautiful!

BTW... thanks for posting the pic's with the sunshine! That helped a little!

Well.........if pictures do it for ya (especially if cars do more for you than shuffleboard[sorry Larry])......here's the bride and I in the middle of April, a nice little Cars and Coffee gathering on a Saturday morning. As the palm trees in the background might imply, we're NOT in Washington.

Bob, that's sweet. Didn't spend much time with shuffleboard tho but sure did in the pool. Hey, sorry we couldn't hook up in Vegas, again!! Was only there a short time because of our extended time spent down in Lake Havasu. I had to be back in Orange County, Ca. then catch up with my sister and her hubby before they took off for vacation.

We did go to the huge Midnight At The Oasis cruise and car show, great time there but if ya can believe it,,,,, the thing got RAINED OUT,,, I repeat,,,, RAINED OUT on Sunday!!

But, this sounds like a cool idea for all of us here in soggy ol' Wa. to get together When ya coming back here?

Hmmm.I think I would rather find a place where the sun shines a little more,,,for a bit longer....An Invercargill of the north is not really what I would want,either..

Yeah Robin, there are times when the overcast and rain get to be a bit......well, much. Some years are better than others, then there are summers when the toy cars don't see much good weather. One of the costs of a northern, marine envirionment. That's part of why we have the other place (and car) in the desert.

When it seems too tiresome something will happen to remind why the beauty of this northern area is so appealing. Here's a couple shots taken out my office window a couple days ago. Mom, dad, and sibling had gone by before I got the camera out and turned on, but got the tail end charlie.

Neat pix Bob,you dont see that in ya back yard every day of the week,[actually,never,in mine]Kool roadster too...Weather is something that you cant do much about..some summers are better than others,last winter was a real cold one that lasted several weeks longer than I wanted it to...this one isnt to bad so far,its only just started.. but Mount Egmont is getting a nice little white cap on it now.Hey,I chose to move down here from Auckland,I am still going grey,but much slower now..Its easier to warm up than cool down..

Where have I heard THAT before Alan?

I plan to be there Friday and Saturday.
