The DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Mostly cloudy. Rain likely...Mainly in the afternoon.
Highs in the lower 50s. East winds around 10 mph.
Chance of rain 70 percent.

~ Tonight...Rain. Lows in the mid 40s.
Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph.
Chance of rain 90 percent.

Crazy weather.
It was 48 this morning and only going to around 52 today.
Next week predictions for 80 degrees (too hot for May).

Sure hope things are slower this morning.
There are still a few things that did not get done yesterday.
I'm expecting them all to come landing on my desk about the same time.
Which leads me to ...

Time for me to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Don't leave the room...I'll be bock!

Remember, the Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM - DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

Yep, also Uncle from across town came by. We took a look at the water in the batutub.

Hot water is slower than cold. She called the plumber. He's going to come down Wednesday and look at it.

Not much else going on except watching for storms and much needed rain hopefully without the severe weather.

[PROCON]

Good Friday morning Beachie!

The week really flew by for me, glad it's over.

It's 32 degrees (Brr) now and suppose to warm to 60ish, (Yea). Nothing planned other than Baseball, my Spring passion!

I hope your weekend is cooldocious!

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning beachy and (((HUGS))) to you too. The only thing green here is the things we water.

It is very dry here, and another fire just started about 35 miles SW of Austin. Not what we need today.
