They're baaaack!!!
 
You can tell the "birds" are flying back. The golf courses now are adorned with cigarette butts at the tees and greens and the maniac speeders are flying around with golf carts turned up and cars racing on the streets! Oh to welcome back April !

Yup...we're back!
To qualify as a true snowbird, can you tell me how to "turn up" my cart so I can be an official returning snowbird?

Yeah!! They're coming back. Means more vitality everywhere, all those happy faces who don't take TV for granted. My daughter gets to make more than survival money at work. The stores get to make some money and survive another year. Welcome back!!! Snowbirds, you've been missed.

Always something to look forward to. Fall and winter we get lower humidity and temps and summer less congestion and more specials at restaurants.

WHAT? We have to pay all summer? Oh boy I better check my records...

Snowbirds back? You ain't seen nothing yet, some of us are still enjoying warm days and cool nights up here. The weather is gorgeous right now.

I wait until first frost and then :crap2:

Snowbirds or Fudgies {FL vs MI} they both stimulate the local economy, personally I prefer to be called a 'seasonal resident', I have the best of both worlds and love it! See you soon in TV; after I enjoy the beautiful fall color in Northern Michigan, on Beautiful Intermediate Lake.

You ain't seen nuttin yet .... wait until November and the streets will be flooded with dancin' snowbirds.

And perhaps you can share how to turn up a golf cart to achieve maniac speed. I'm sure my fellow snowbirders would like to know. :a20:

Gracie I think a "BOY HOWDY" might be appropriate at this point! Welcome back friends from the north.

57ChevyFI 09-20-2013 07:17 PM

Try "NOS" for those golf carts, that should get those carts to break neck speed in no time :crap2:. It's actually pretty easy to speed up some carts.:angel:

We can't wait to be back next week. Just leaving NH as the leaves are turning - and the furnaces are starting up.. Didn't you miss us???

And our golf group was shut out Monday morning. Birds are arriving back with no points.

I guess we are just another season that has to be endured. Just like......

Hurricane season

Love Bug season

Tornado Season

and then.......Snowbird season

Kind of different for us, being used to driving into Montana and seeing huge "Welcome Canadian Visitors" signs. I guess our impact is viewed differently there.
