Bad weather service

The weather has been bugging us for the whole day. And yesterday. and day before. We got some serious rain on Saturday and stayed in CJs tent for few hours.

The bad weather service in the CJs tent was Lazlos iPad with Angry Birds!

The judging line turned out to a muddy field before we were called back to the airfield.

After the rain, there is always some sun... so the sun set on Saturday was pretty nice....

After the rain and getting stuck in the mud, I met few friends in the airfield. We drove to my hotel so I could change clothes and wash my feet (yep, they were quite muddy since our shuttle actually got stuck on the judging line and we had to do a few tricks to get it out from there) we headed to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.

Orvo & Paula, it was really nice to finally  meet you in person!

Texas Roadhouse is really nice place to eat. Although I must say, I am a bit suspicious about the "road kill" they serve.. :D

Texas size blossom. Kind of a onion rings reproduced. Delicious but NOT very healthy... but what is... 

Cesar salad and corn with 10oz ribeye topped with (welldone) mushrooms and onions. The steak was really good and tender. They really know how to make a good steak!

It's pretty cool to see these everywhere, pumping oil up. This one is on our hotels back yard!

Sunday was the same, the shuttle was postponed to noon and eventually we got to the airfield, and waited and waited... The CD even took his plane out and checked the ceiling, but no use. After 4 hours and 4 postponed briefings they called the day an took us to the hotel. 

After a rest they loaded us to the busses again and we drove to Oklahoma for some rodeo. That was interesting to see and we sat on the fence watching lassoing the calves and barrel racing. I need to get back to the saddle again... After rodeo we drove to a casino for dinner. Interesting places, both of them. 

we were sitting on the fence just like the locals and watched the rodeo.

The quality of the photos is crappy, but I only had my pocket cam with me.... 

Today the weather was even worse, it was raining the whole day. So, the day was cancelled and we had time to do what ever we wanted. We went shopping with Pekka H. from Sweden, he is observer here and he was bored too, so we needed to invent something. Lunch in Red Lobster (Yummy!!!), shopping (got some souvenirs for the kid) and dinner in the eveing in the Texas Roadhouse. Again. (Yummy, yummy!) But seriously, sweet potatoe topped with sugar butter and MARSHMELLOWS?????
