Good morning everyboomie.
Another weekend has come to an end for me, but thank goodness we're half way through the work week, eh?
I had a great day off yesterday. It rained all morning, not very hard, but steady actually all night and all morning.
There was water standing everywhere, and lots of runoff, so I know the creek is up. Hopefully way up.
Now if this coming weekend can be nice weather it will coincide with my plans head hunt.
For some reason they have me scheduled from 6:00am to 3:00 on Wednesday. SILLY PEOPLE, it's freight day!!! I'm going in at 5:00am instead.
Same thing for Friday. Will they never learn?
I hear that freight train coming down the line as I
speak, as I type.
Better get to bed now.
Have a very happy day everyone.
