Regina blows

Just got back from Regina....OMG....The wind out there was just crazy...My boost runs between 9 to 12 PSI due to my 4:10 ...When that darn wind started at Swift Current....My boost was running at 22 to 25 PSI...Thats how much wind I was bucking...

Even blow off my AFC boost pipe....I got to fix that dam problem once and for all..

Yes, yes it does.

Fortunatly I never had to live there but my parents were from there so as a kid we went back there every xmas, Easter and 2 weeks in the summer.

Blazing hot in the summer(dry hot atleast) and deathly cold in the winter. And ABSOLUTLY nothing to do!

I grow up 3 1/2 hours north east of Regina..Moved to Alberta in 1982...

My aunt has told me...They have had brutal weather in the last 5 years...The plow winds are becoming more and more...The huge trees that where knocked down was amazing...when one of these things run through..

You know we talk about global warming, and how we need to cut down on our emmision foot print.
I wonder if we stopped building tall buildings, and cutting down so many trees, installing wind towers if we would see a difference in wind change and climate.
It has been a brutal last few years for winds throughout the west.

That's funny. Alberta has been really sucking and Manitoba really blowing here lately. We get all the wind here in Saskatchewan, pushing 80 km. It really puts a downer on the days for sure. And for the record Regina is a brutal place

Just wait till you haul a large RV or haul a large trailer, even more boost than that. Done that trip a dozens and dozens of times, the fuel mileage going out east is way better than coming back west. My gaser dodge cargo van way way back when would only do 70-80kph average, just wasnt enough power.

Its about time you took some of the carbon off the rings anyways buddy on that minto ride of yours.

Yep poor lil Regina or as I fondly call it...Hooterville.

We did get the stones here for two nights and a few other big names...they must've been lost.

I watched my dog run away for two days its so flat here.

I do like the idea that our economy is kicking butt over pretty much anywhere in North America...git it while I can.

I'm ok if it blows...takes the lightweights and the whiners with it.

I have a really bad joke about Regina that I can't post on here. It has to do with a "blue pigeon".
