Am I being selfish?

We have severe weather warning out for our part of the flat lands in Saskatchewan Canada. Tornado warning in effect.

We have a local Storm Chaser and many of the Storm Chasers from the US have taken up residency. They wouldn't be here if they thought it wasn't worth their time and money.

So, am I being selfish to go out and shoot a few. Its not like my wife doesn't know where the basement is, right.

I'm the one taking a huge risk here. I mean, what kind of protection can a pool table provide?

I have my cue cases lashed to a tele post in the basement. They're not going anywhere, I hope.

I left a little extra line in case my wife wants to tie herself to the other tele post. I left her one.

Geez, its not like its Dec 21st or anything. I would probably stay home for that.

I got caught right in the middle of a flat land tornado once. I pulled over to the shoulder of the road and backed up onto a grid.
All of a sudden, I noticed I was soaking wet. I looked at the passenger side of the truck and the door was twisting away from the roof line to give the rain approx 2 inches to get in. I backed up until I found a culvert and dove in.

Man, women just don't understand what a pool Jones is.

PS - This weeks notes the 100th anniversary of the Regina Cyclone. Worst cyclone in Canada's history. It does make it kind of coincidental and exciting at the same time.

I would recommend not to shoot any of the storm chasers.

Seriously?

In Florida that's everyday weather. They don't even close the bars during hurricanes. I've been there hitting balls in the dark while the wife was boarded up in the house. :)
 
Hey, were did you find that one?
That is 1981 Toronto CNE.

I'm a young pup there. Much more wall burns and rash after that in following years.

i know we don't agree from time to time, but as you said to me once - most times we agree, so i offer this:

why didn't you just tie your wife to the other tele pole before you left??

then you would not have to worry about as you said: "am I being selfish to go out and shoot a few".

live and learn,
and all the best,
smokey

When I first read this , I thought you wanted to go out and shoot a few of the storm chasers.
I was okay with that , so sure, go hit a few balls. :embarrassed2:
 
In Canada Storm Chaser is a metaphor for Road Player.
Canadian men have to use weather related terms to deceive their wives, just to go out and play.
"Honey, this looks looks a bad one eh, the Storm Chasers are in town eh, I gotta go eh, meet you later in the basement eh."
 
Well how did things turn out?

House still there?

More importantly, did you get in a good session!?!?
 
Smokey, thats why I posted that I left her one tele post and enuff rope to tether herself up. I was thinking of her.

A hard rain, a bit of hail was about all for now. It was humid as all heck and in one instant the temp changed to cold. Thats usually not a good sign.

In the end we were rewarded by the most beautiful Mammatus clouds that you ever want to see.

The word mamatus is Latin for Breast, so we had a nice Titty cloud show afterward.

In the end, I did go out and hit a few balls around for a while.
 
In a tornader, I ain't stayin' in the trailer. We once had one come up the holler and roll it over a few times. I thought I was back in Elrod's General Lee again. Took us two buckets of tar to stop the roof from leakin. All my wives call it a mobile home, but I sold the tires offen it last year to buy a break stick, so it ain't mobile no more. I got a Gulyassy Orange Crush. Great cue.
To answer your question, yes go shoot some pool.
