Sweet ride! Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...commutes working out? Hope your day went well.

Today was check day...we made it. Then about 15 minutes before posting time, an email....”system reboot in 5 minutes, please close everything”. Hmmm...post quickly and hope the reboot works. Several more ups and downs and I gave up and came home.

[luvie]

Howdy, Conor! ((((hugs))))

It’s still pretty cool, but it feels good and it’s much better sleeping weather than we had been having. LOL!

I’m totally OVER summer weather. I need to move some place where the highest it gets is 85....and the lowest, maybe 20. :)

Is there a place like that?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, laplata...((HUGS))

Hope you had a good day. Wednesday is my busiest...check printing day!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[SandRat]

Lo and Behold I just had a blow out on my right front tire, and all of the tire shops are closed for the night. Currently on the dough-nut spare tire until I can get a new tire tomorrow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yikes! Glad you are safe, Sand.

Does Maddi get to come on errands some times? You can teach her all sorts of neat stuff.

[SandRat]

Maddi gets to go on errands with GranMa. She has to be watched for Grabbing thing and putting them in the shopping cart.

She impresses all of the other customers and the clerks that she meets.
