I'm a little worried that its going to be a cccoldd picnic. We should have a restraunt for plan B.
Yeah, we touched on this earlier, but - it'd be a good idea to discuss it more, I think.
RonFrank:
I think we should wait until we have a better idea of what the weather is going to be before deciding on if to picnic. I'll certainly plan on doing the picnic THING, and I think others can as well.
If we are three days out from the dates, and the forecast is cold, windy, or snow, then maybe we want to adopt plan B. This could be just doing Don's suggestion, and everyone hits subway, or does sandwiches or something on their own, OR we could decide to break and go have a group lunch somewhere. For those that are not familiar with the Hole, the diving is 5 minutes from the eating and hotels.
Yeah, the NOAA 5 days forecast is worthless here. The 3-day outlook is about as good as you can
try to depend on, and still - with out winds, no guarantees.
My approach
for me of brining a subway is if we plan on the picnic - plan A.
Plan B? If the 3-day looks bad, I suggest we abandon the picnic and do lunch at a cafe. The one by the Dollar Store, right at the turn off of Rt 66 Rd to the Hole, is one I've always enjoyed. I've eaten lunch there with my wet suit just pulled down to my waist, and they said that was fine.
Plan C? If the 3-day looks good, we plan the picnic, then suddenly the weather gets cold, then keep the options in mind for the decision of the hour: Got food ready - go inside the fill shack, where half of the building should be available. If the food needs to be cooked - save it for home and head for the cafe.
In any event, I think it's too soon to make this decision, and we will discuss this more based on the forcast. 40's and sunny is nice weather in NM, just have a good fleece coat or something for SI's. Snow and wind make it MUCH less desirable to hang out all day.
Yep, exactly.
I called Joseph's about using the party room for Saturday supper, but the manager was not in. I'll call back until I get her.
Hehe, my new Houston dive buddy was here a couple of weeks ago and we headed out to see a nearby park, first stopping to see my grandson's Scout troop mounting bikes to cycle down the abandonded railroad right-of-way. Typical West Texas winds were blowing and she was the only one who could not deal with it. Kept stumbling around, holding onto me. :lol2:
"More breeze than you're used to, hon?"
