Good morning night owl ((HUGS))
I’m with you...more sleep. Second cup of joe really didn’t help much either.
Hope you have a terrific Thursday.

Well, all is well here in Oklahoma. Except in the town of Marlow, where a planned power outage which started last night is still ongoing.
This outage was planned so they could do routine maintenance on their town's electric substation. However, they've run into some unexpected problems and now they're saying it may be at least until 10 AM before they get the power restored.
Power's been out there since 10:45 PM CDT.

They’re not painful - they apply local anesthetic. There’s some pressure but little pain.

You’ve got the tux rental out of the way, right?
Gifts for your groomsmen?
Clean socks for the day...that’s the laundry you’re doing today?
Let’s see, you’ve laid in a good supply of adult beverages for all concerned...have plenty of stuff to snack on before the big event...oh, yeah, got a limo for after the ceremony? Or is demented sis’s truck going to be pressed into service for that?
Hmmm, what else do we need to consider? I’m sure there’s something...umbrellas, just in case?

Tux rental done tomorrow.
Groomsman gift already done.
Open bar at the VFW, but something for the house might not be remiss...
The Wee Beastie will be the bridal chariot. Limo’s were way out of the price range.
Weather report for the day looks great, low 80’s with 0% rain chance. Nice offshore breeze for the ceremony.

Good almost evening to you, Sarge...((HUGS))...sounds like you have all your chaotic ducks almost in a good row.
Good luck getting every one back to the house and settled before the “do”.
FR has not been cooperative for me today. Hope this goes thru.
