I provoked the wind gods

[gkainz]

I put the 5er on jack stands this morning for brakes and bearing repack.

Wind gods laughed and responded with this

I think you did a little more than provoke them.

Wow! Sounds like W TX, except, we aren't having it THAT bad right now; just 30-35 at the moment with our beautiful sand. Hope the RV sitting on jacks is doing OK. If you're getting 86 mph winds you might just take a bearing, put some grease in your hand in front of it and let the wind pack it..:lol:

Hang in there, tomorrow will be better and maybe you can get your chores done.

Greg, I certainly hope that the winds are hitting the RV from the front or the back. If they at from either side you might want to get Prudential on speed dial.:eek:

40k+ here. I was scheduled to have slide awnings installed today. I called the shop and asked if they really wanted to do it; they agreed and rescheduled. We have had this wind for a week now.

I'm now impressed by the jack stands ... 5er still standing and looks like good weather to finish what I started yesterday. Just another spring breeze on the Colorado Front Range!

[Canonman]

Seems you got the weather we had, just a day later. Snowed 5" in town yesterday and a foot in the mountains!! Wind gusts were 60+ mph at the house and 90 at the ski resorts.
Ahhh "Springtime in the Rockies":)
