Brrrrr....

What a crazy, if not typical bout of Texas weather. Last weekend was working outside in shorts, temps over 80F, I actually had to put the A/C on for a couple of short spells to cool off the house so everyone could sleep comfortably. We've practically been in a drought so far in 2009, then as of yesterday, the temperature drops to below 40 for the high and we get about 3.5 inches of much needed rain in 24 hours. I had to switch the thermostat back to heat as it cooled off so much. Forecast for the next couple of days is continued cold and wet, then back to seasonal temps.

Last weekend was our chapter meeting and we had a huge turnout. We were awarding our long flyer patches in commemoration of our chapter riding in excess of 2 million miles in 2008. Here is a copy of the patch.



We had a rather large support group from the Panther Creek Chapter in Allen come out and recognize us on this milestone.

Also a bit of excitement, one of our good friends, Doug "Mini-T" Hull is in contention for a spot on the next season of America's Biggest Loser. For those unfamiliar with the show its essentially a televised weight loss competition. Doug is in the third stage of "auditions" and was taking a video of his activities and his support group, which is of course his extended family. So for the video Darlene panned the rather boisterous group of about 100 or so. I think it certainly will provide the impact desired.
