Good Morning!

Rainy here...Lynn-Dah and I just got totally soaked on our morning walk. eyew.

[E.G.C.]

It's going OK. I did talk with my sister yesterday and they're going to get me a new backup computer to replace the XP computer that broke down on me yesterday.

So, if all goes as planned, I should be back to 3 computers in the house soon.

Got some sprinkles yesterday. Forecasting 80 degrees today under partly sunny skies.

[PROCON]

Morning Beachie!

I don't have a lot to move, so a U-Haul truck and tow dolly will suit me fine.

I went to the dump yesterday to get rid of some more junk and am in the final stages. I'll be glad when it's over with the holidays coming up and all.

Have a great Thursday!

[beachn4fun]

What? You’re getting rain? Is it one of the “florida showers” or another piece of the nor’easter?

[beachn4fun]

back to 3 computers

3? My, aren't you spoiled. LOL

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

Good for you...you are in the final stages and you still have a week to go.
I think you picked a good time to move; you’ll be all settled with family close by before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Have a fully fruitful, effective, productively rewarding day.

Well, it rains every morning, but is usually over before I walk with Lynn-Dah.

Kind of like Camelot.

Or as Dr. Hawass would call Florida, the Retirement Capital of the World, the “Geezer Plateau”.

Looks like Fotki had a hiccup this morning! I hate when that happens! Always at posting time, right?
