Talked to Rainman last night and he is now in possession of the flag , it is back home in Quincy IL.
( where it was made )
From what I hear it was a cold/ wet day, thanks for taking one for the team Jim and Snarky
With a high of 46 today and a chance of more precipitation/sleet we decided to postpone our rendezvous
until a later date, sorry guys
Sunday is supposed to be even worse , colder and 90 percent chance of rain.
So for now it looks like we will have to wait and see .

Yeah, Sunday looks like a washout for me.

Oh man. Cold doesn't even begin to describe it. Apparently I don't have the ability to dress warm enough for a wet December day. Thankfully it wasn't raining, but there was a heavy fog that soaked my clothes and the 40 degree weather didn't help. When I pulled up to Rainman, I thought I was going to look like Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber (See attached Pic)
It's a good thing we like you guys so much

It seemed like the flag took forever to get here and it left so quick. Glad I was able to take part in it. Thanks for the opportunity everybody. I'll keep following the thread to get all of the flag updates.

We got 3 1/2 " of heavy wet white shit on the ground. It snowed all day Sunday and well into the night. Weather is going to warm up this week. Hi 40s by Thursday. Maybe another hand off coming up?

That's something I ask myself everyday. I would say that St. Louis Blues hockey keeps me here, but that's not a very solid argument right now.

I think I need highs in the 50's for a 250 mile round trip , but the one day it's getting up there is Saturday and they're calling for 70 percent chance of rain :pinch:
Stay tuned,

Had my fingers crossed, but it's pretty much a repeat of last week.
