Hey Dad’sDogs… how are you hanging onto an umbrella in this wind? I almost lost the canopy (10X20) the other day and it’s tied down to the bus! Winds picking up again, we have a rain storm coming thru.  It doesn’t cool off much after it rains out here. [:(]

Thats one of the reasons I’m changing the one I have.  The windy season seems late this year (like our monsoons).  So I’m usually on the weather channel or local news before I leave for the day.  I’ve bought the “beach ball umbrella” at Sams Club a couple of times as an emergency replacement but I sure would like to go with a color coordinated choice.
 
I’ll just open and close the umbrella if it is breezy.  If it is really windy then I close up shop, buy me a six pack and call it a day.
