Good morning everyboomie.
Can't believe it's Thursday already.
Probably because I'm writing this on Wednesday.
We had a good rain last night. It seems like months since the last one. It was awesome to see it falling, and today has been overcast and cool all day.
Thursday won't be that cool....86 degrees. Those stupid acu-weather people lied through their teeth again.
All of those 70 degree days that WERE there in October, are now 80 degree days.
Anyway I didn't do much today except go parking with the pups, and do some exercising.
No plans Thursday other than getting out of bed.
Have a happy day everyone.

I only have to go to a couple of stores tomorrow, and they both open a bit later, so there's no reason to get up as early as I usually do. I also only have 2 stores to go to, so it should be a nice short day. I may even have time for some gaming in the afternoon.
