Good morning. We are in the throngs of a heat wave (upper thirty's today) with sunshine. I have a dental cleaning this morning and then to the neighbors to hopefully finish the paneling job. Tomorrow we have a funeral and check on a few jobs and Saturday is my knife club and the weather is suppose to cooperate for me to get there. Have a great day. ___Dave

Good Mornin', Gentlemen. (I guess I'm using that term rather loosely :) )
Looks like a beautiful, clear day shaping up, only problem it's 21 degrees. ::mdm::
There are still icicles from yesterday's event. My hat is off to you fellers that deal with low temperatures on a regular basis.
Hope y'all have a great day!

Got a meeting with the bosses this afternoon to discuss my pending retirement. Other than that, not a lot on my schedule till the snow melts off the roofs. Got the bird feeder refilled yesterday so I've got plenty of entertainment in the meantime. Have a good one.

Yeah! She got propane! Did the floors. Put up the Marquee. Not sure how it happened but I got the better part of 6 hours. Reached for my key blob to open a paper towel holder. Realized my key blob was laying on the center console of my locked up truck. Ray who has towed me a couple times came and got it open for me. He asked for $20. I produced a $50. Finally I told him I had $15 And he took it. Got home ok. Yesterday I heard a crackling sound. If I hadn't looked our house could have burned down. Whew!

Good morning Funeral today, then check to see what a neighbor did wrong to his kitchen when he tried to fix it himself, and then I'm done for the week. Tomorrow is Knife club weekend. It's suppose to be in the 40's today with sunshine. Some areas around here are suppose to get about a foot of snow Sunday night but most think it will all go East of us. We'll see on Monday morning I guess. Have a great Friday. ____Dave

Mornin' fellers. It is 49º on the patio this mornin' and headed for the mid-50s later today. Bride and I have a lunch date with ex-neighbors today. They moved to Indy to be near kids and grandkids. Her son played for Indy when they won the Super Bowl several years back. I actually got to hold and check out his ring at one time. They were good neighbors and it will be good to see them. :D
Hope you all have a good day. ::tu::

Good Mornin', Men.
Another beautiful, clear morning with 23 degrees! There are still some shaded places that remain frozen, maybe this mess will soon go away and only be a bad memory. ::nod::
Y'all have a good Friday!

My phone said 36 degrees at 5am. Might be as much as 45 now.
At the Post office to mail something off to Scott.
Got approximately 4.5 hours today.
Check is supposedly guaranteed to be here about noon.
Plan to stay in town until then.

Saturday morning. A day when most people are off.
Not me. Gotta go to work.
Pretty good coffee to ponder on it.

Mornin' JPDave and Scott. Mornin' to the rest of the crew. Today the bride and I will make a run over to Marble Falls for a birthday celebration for the 80th birthday of one of our oldest friends. We all got acquainted back in the early 1960s in Midland, Texas, our 1st stop in the business world. Her husband has gone on ahead now so this will not be a big shindig but one we will all enjoy.
The weather is sure cooperating at 51º and will likely go well into the 70s this afternoon.
Hope you all have a good day. ::tu::

Good Mornin', y'all sure are a noisy bunch this am. Our weather is improving also, the low this morning was 31, summer must be just around the corner. :)
Hope y'all find some keepers today while you're out and about.
No plans for today, I hope.
Hope you enjoy the day!
