Good morning everyboomie.
Shall we start a nuther week?
This morning I'm driving over to another town to visit with the VA rep. It'll be a 40 or 45 minute drive, so I'll leave pretty early.
He used to be here on Mondays, and then they took my town out of his rotation. There's somebody else here, but this guy is who I am familiar with.
Anyway at 9:30 now it's past my crib time.
Have a happy Monday everyone.
