[Rhodes22-list] Dynamic Equilibrium Put Into Winter Storage

[Roger Pihlaja]

Glen,

EVERYBODY knows what a good deal winter storage is at the Midland County
Fairgrounds!  They come from as far away as Detroit & Grand Rapids (150
miles!) to store their stuff.  Like I said, I wish the fairgrounds would
restrict storage access rights to Midland County residents thru the month of
October before they opened it up to out-of-county folks.  October usually
has some of the best sailing weather of the year around here & I regret
missing it in order to get an indoor storage spot at the fairgrounds.

For snowboarding this year, I have a helmet, elbow pads, & padded shorts.
Pass the ibuprofen please!
