Hi everybody!

((((HUGS)))

Hitting the sack early tonight...I am really tired!

[luvie]

Hey, there, oldteen! (((hugs)))

Whazzup with you?

[radu]

It’s still a work in progress but there’s a nice collection in there to start with. It will be nice watching it grow as time goes on.

Doin’ ok here. Still haven’t come back to the ground after watching the eclipse the other day. LOL! That was just too fun.

[radu]

Well howdy there, JJ! *Hugz*

I hope all’s going great with you these days!

[oldteen]

How formal of you, Luv! lol

[luvie]

Awesome! I’d love to look through there, and I KNOW my hubby would!

[Jet Jaguar]

Howdy from Texas. We are fairing fine. We are hoping for some rain but not too much.

We have a little system moving in that can do some flooding.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Everything go smoothly at work? Hope it goes smoothly at home this evening with your mom.

[oldteen]

We had so much drift smoke it didn’t even look like an eclipse was taking place.

[luvie]

Who me??? LOL!

[luvie]

Hope you are enjoying living in the Lone Star State! :)

[radu]

It’s a nice little set-up and there’s room for more as they come in. It’s brand-spankin’ new. I’d heard a little about Mr. Werner’s collection but didn’t know what he had until the museum opened.

[Jet Jaguar]

So far yes. We are in my camper at an RV resort. We hope we can close on a home in Sept.

It’s a bit tight with the animals. But, we are doing okay.

[radu]

Glad to hear you’re doing well.

They were talking about that “little system” on our weather report earlier this evening. Looks like it could get a bit dicey down there. We should get a little rain from it next week but not nearly as much as y’all will. I hope it doesn’t get too bad there.

[Jet Jaguar]

Hoping so as well.

Luv ya!

Good night.

[radu]

Yuck! Dealing with drift smoke, huh? That’s not good.

We were fortunate that the totality path came through close by and my brother happens to live less than 10 miles from the center. Our farm is outside the path so we drove up to his house to watch it.

[luvie]

It’ll get better all the time!

[radu]

WOOHOO, yeah you! LOL!

[PROCON]

Hey radu!

I briefly stopped at son's house for a visit with him and the dogs and the little maniac puppy.

I spent the early morning shopping at 3 stores and then just hanging out in the A/C. Milder weather today but it's suppose to creep back into triple digits early next week, *Sigh*.

Nice military museum pics, the Jeep was a great vehicle when I was in.

Here's a pic of we boys on the flight line in Vietnam taking 5. I'm 2nd from left sitting on the Jeep.

[radu]

Howdy do, Conor. *Hugz*

Having a grand time with David? You’re not making him work on the renovations while he’s visiting, are you? LOL
