I had to laugh when I opened the photobucket file for this week. [Mrs] T said that she didn’t take a lot of pictures. But only FIVE - it just made me laugh. Part of the reason was that the camera got so cold so quick that the batteries lost their umph. The other reason was [Mrs] T’s trigger finger also got real cold even though she was layered with foot and hand warmers.
How cold was it? 25 degrees with a moderate wind. Do I hear violins from some of you in North Dakota? I bet you do not stand on a corner for an hour.
But the honks and wavers were great. The passing supporters honked even as we were setting up.
The rest of the weekend was great. After the FReep it was two days of a warm fire and play offs. Except for the Ravans winning, we had a good time. GO GIANTS!!!
The Fantastic 4 today were Lurkers Bill & Jim, [Mrs] T and myself.

Long range forecast for Jan. 21st : Mid forties, 50% chance of snow or rain. Oh Boy!
If you live in northern VA and want a short cut to Olney See Post 39 Here. It's an easy 20 minute drive from the American Legion Bridge.
A special Thanks to a FReeper FRiend for enhancing the original plain type directions.
The Archive of Olney FReeps is here or in the LINKS section of Trooprally's ABOUT Page.

Short AAR for a cold FReep
How about a BET?
If the Ravens loss - you pick a winter season Saturday to come to Olney and FReep with us.
If the Giants win - I pick the Saturday that you come out to Olney.
Either way, our troops win.

We had a little cold snap here too....but I certainly can not complain!! See you guys in February. James and I will be bringing our foot and hand warmers this time! Thanks to you and Mrs.T we now have our own supply for those colder weather trips! :)

I am still alive on a pool. Go Giants.
People may not stand on corners in North Dakota in the wintertime, but you can bet some of them are working outdoors on oil wells. Could any of us put up with that?
Maryland PING!
Cold weather?
I see no snow?
Thanks, to the fabulous four for being there in the cold!
I appreciate you “standing for all of us”!
Looking forward to your visit.
Except for the “younger” lone moonbat I think the average age of the moonbats is in their 70s.
On the other hand, we have had 3 generations of patriots on our side.
Go Giants
Working (and being paid) or skiing n cold vs standing are two different activities, except fingers get cold no matter what you do.
I could not say “skiing (and having fun)” because as you know, we also have a great time on the corners.
And thanks for the continued MD pings.
Yep, we have been lucky so far this year. Great Lakes area got hit last week. We got a dusting. This Saturday could prove interesting. A few degrees one way or another will make the difference between cold rain and snow.
Neat - you are welcome from the Olney patriots.
The original Fantastic 4 were Lurker Bill, Cindy_True_Supporter, [Mrs] T and myself. But with Walter Reed coming to a close it is hard for Cindy to travel so far. You know this but others may not.
Hurry back and bring some more warm weather with you. We miss you standing with us. We have a spot reserved for you.
FYI - congrates on your new puppy.
[Mr] T
Cindy has been a great supporter of all these DC events, for YEARS.
I am glad you mentioned her. What a great FReeper she has been!
Yep, a great FReeper. And she does patriotic things on her own when not FReeping.
