Good evening, Don Corleone...thanks for the Garryowen video.

Hi, Kathy! (((hugs)))

Yes, my day went quite well...if terribly hot! Hope yours did, too! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

A regular Wednesday is bad enough, but I had to input about 30 timesheets...it is a brand new contract and this is their very first payday. Lots of them didn’t have the proper links in place and I had to stop and connect them. I finally finished at 2:05p...they waited for me. d:o)

Whew!!

And it got hot again....it’s 79 right now.

Hope you can stay cool.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nothing big enough to notice.

I really am tired of this heat....and it seems that the giant multitude of mosquitoes are loving it and anyone who ventures out.

91!!! YIKES!!!

Good evening/morning, onedoug.

I love how the landing craft just “drives” right in.

[Jet Jaguar]

Bad mosquitos here as well.
