Good morning to everyone at the Canteen.
We are in for another warm day here. Looks like spring is in the air.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

Yes, ready for some cleansing rain. Been loving the warmer temps and the longer daylight, too.

Don’t know about you but I’m ready for the “powers that be” to put a stop to DST. It no longer serves it’s purpose. Put it one way and leave it.

How about you? Busy day?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and ((HUG)) EG. All is well. Getting ready to start on another project.

Howz things in EG-land?

[ConorMacNessa]

Busy day, yes. And I agree with you on DST - it takes days before I adjust to the lost hour and I prefer the earlier dawns.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

Yes, I’m feeling spring. And, my sinuses are feeling spring. LOL

How are you this fine spring morning?

p.s. do you guys do the daylight savings thingy out there?

[Arrowhead1952]

Remember to "spring ahead" this weekend.
DST is here.
YUCK!

[beachn4fun]

LOL

I guess that answers my question

[E.G.C.]

Going OK. really busy with lots of things going on.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning beachy and (((HUGS))) to you too. Doing OK, and off tomorrow.

I just posted about the - - - - - - - DST about 40 seconds after you asked about it.
