Good evening, Pro...off and on rainy here all day.
We’ve been standing at the window (4th floor) watching the drama in the WalMart parking lot. The fire department arrived and picked up someone onto a gurney and off they went.
Are you staying cool?

I remember Grafenwoehr. I spent a couple months there in 1969. We moved a bunch of heavy equipment by train, seam engine no less.

Lynn-Dah’s increasing deafness, secondary to old age, has been a blessing in the fireworks season.
Had a super pub night Tuesday.

We are in “temporary” quarters...much bigger than our old digs. The somewhat larger alterations are just about done. Our desktops are going from 24” deep to 30” deep, which will help, and we have dividers between up, which will help when we are all on the phone at once. The new spaces are smaller than our temp digs.

Getting some more rain! Cool! Every little bit helps!
We’ve had a couple of pop-up showers at the farm today and are grateful for them.
Yikes on the person who was taken off on a gurney. Doesn’t sound good. :-(

Good evening, mountainlion....you’ve been lots of places!
Did you hoist the equipment onto the train cars, or were you able to drive on?

Boy, aren’t you stingy, stingy, stingy? But I can’t blame ya. I wouldn’t want to let go of it either. LOL
Ugh! Mowing. At least you’re rested up for it tomorrow.
I visited Hubby’s aunt this afternoon and made a quick stop at the grocery store on the way home. Got a nice lil watermelon chilling in the fridge now. Yum!
Tomorrow will be busy. The Republican women’s group FINALLY found a building to rent for our campaign HQ this year and we start cleaning and setting things up in the morning. UGH on the morning part.
