Great Picture!

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOO HOO for you...be very careful out there. I know you are. ((HUGS))

We’ve had 3 motorcycle fatalities in just a few days....one guy hit a guard rail and flew over and down.

The worst has to have been the guy who hit a moose!!!! Neither survived.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very satisfactory day for me....hoping tomorrow allows for the same. I have a huge “after checks print” pile of stuff just waiting for time to do them.

I am off for home.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

I hope everything is going well with you and that your weather has moderated!

Thanks! :) I thought it was so poignant...

Hey, Conor! ((((hugs))))

It was cloudy nearly all day, and though we didn’t get any
rain, the temperature never got up above about 92. It was great! :)

Tomorrow...back to the upper 90s/100s. I’m SO ready for fall! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))

Any more progress on your bookcase? Rain?

We had no rain today at all.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope your day went well. Good decisions being made by the bosses today?

Deja vu, huh?

For sure...and then I had more trouble getting it ready to post. d:o)

[SandRat]

Good Evenin’, Kathy...((HUGS))

Have three shelves left to sand the wood filler down on. It's long & tough when you have to use 350 grain sandpaper.

When that's done then comes the tac-cloth cleaning of all the parts, then the stain, then the finish varnish, then reassembly.

Thunder and rain last night.

Lazy Boy recliner mugged me hard last night.

[ConorMacNessa]

The day went okay, thanks. The inmates are in charge of the asylum at the office - I feel for our project manager - he's getting torn six ways to Sunday by a bunch of young associates who have no concept of what they are doing. The priorities change hourly and we react with the nimbleness of Irish step dancers - the people calling the shots are clueless - they literally know not what they do.
