Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? Weather issues?

We have another heat wave coming....*sigh*

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....Mike grabs the gold!!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

We're flirting with the freezing mark this evening and light precip is falling. It could be an interesting morning commute.

I hope everything is going well with you - just trying to climb out of this Winter! Can't take it like I used to. :)

And a close second....Mac snags the silver!!

[luvie]

Nite! I’m kind of ready too....believe it or not. :)

[ConorMacNessa]

I did indeed Sally Forth this morning - a good day at work. The meds have kicked in and I'm feeling better - still not up to 100%.

No blizzard here - but we're having freezing rain and ice tonight.

My son-in-law is stationed at Pendleton but has spent more than half of the last few months out at 29 Palms “out in the field”.

I did not like the stumps when I was there in 1984. Or 1986. Or 1987.

I never want to visit a desert again.

SEMPER FI!

[Kathy in Alaska]

As much as I hate Mondays, I need a repeat....I am so far behind. I’m not ready for Tuesday.

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...a Maddi Tuesday coming up?

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....ML bags the bronze!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I never want to visit a desert again.

130 in August is fun. Beats the hell out of chiggers and mosquitos in North Carolina.
