This week will be final work on it. Paint maybe tomorrow.
I’ve been sick all weekend with a damn head cold.
Haven’t worked in 3 days, I need to get back at it tomorrow.
It gets picked up next Wednesday Oct 7

Howdy, Kathy.

Getting things squared away for tomorrow’s work grind?

Were you able to get your mailbox situated so the mailman can leave your mail in it?

Howdy, radu!

It got up to 103 here today. Now..FINALLY..the wind has turned north, has speeded up and the temp is down to 88. Which feels good after the hot afternoon. We have high wind warnings for overnight.

I hope things there were more tame. LOL!

Good evening, radu...overcast here all day and looking like rain. Don’t think any is coming, tho.

Do you still have some on the way? How much longer until the cotton is ready?

I love this pic of him.
Look at those eyes. I’d hazard a guess he was a character and a lot of fun to hang out with.

Howdy, luvie.

HOLY COW!! 103???? UGH!!!!
So the front is already moving through, is it? With the temperature drop you said is expected, the wind is gonna howl. Poor kitties, stuck outside in the dust.

It was comfortable here today but we’re supposed to get rain tomorrow when the front gets here. At least it looks like it’ll get here after Clara’s funeral in the morning.
They haven’t said anything about wind so I assume it won’t get as wild here as it’s going to be in your area.

He was overweight and had asthma, so he wasn’t a well man, but he was hard-working and ten years younger than me.

He has a 13 year old son from a previous marriage who really needs our prayers!

Hey there, Kathy.

It sure HAS been gloomy up there today. I see a low spinning off the coast SE of you but it isn’t producing much rain. Just a lot of clouds.

Rain is expected tomorrow afternoon when a cold front comes through. How much we’ll get is anyone’s guess.

The cotton has long way to go yet. It’s a late crop to harvest.

It was brutal. I’m so glad it’s getting cooler, The wind is N at 25-35 with gusts to 45. The kitties don’t mind the sand like I do, but the wind ruffles their fur and drives them nuts. They think it’s chasing them. LOL!

I’m glad the weather will be pleasant there for the funeral. May she rest in peace.

I’d say “brutal” is an understatement. And it’s just too late in the year for temps like that.
We had temps in the 90s well into October last year and that was bad enough. Then went straight into winter.

It looks like we’ll have some autumn this year.

Yeah, kitties don’t like being touched by something they can’t see. Even worse when they can’t get away from it. LOL

The weather report was just on and it still looks good for tomorrow morning. Still no mention of strong wind expected but we could get a thunderstorm or two.

I cleaned up the mess, and moved the mailbox closer to the curb.

The weekend guy is rarely the weekday guy, so don’t know if he might deliver to the downed box. I will still make an attempt to catch him when/if I can hear him coming. I have several work things that need to go out, so if I miss him I’ll have to drive to the PO, of course too late to go inside. I will call the PO in the morning and see if they will deliver to the box, or the porch til I can get a new one up.

Working now entering correcting timesheets.

I can hear the wind howling and I’m thankful I can’t see the dust. It’s now 73 degrees. So, since 6pm the temp has dropped 30 degrees. Good riddance to summer. LOL!

I hope it tiptoes into your area. Your allergies are already bad enough, without Texas stuff coming your way. LOL!
