LOL! Yeah, on a normal day, I’m just getting into a good sleep at 6:45 a.m.! Getting up at 10:30 is hard enough. But I’m getting better at falling asleep early enough that I’m able to function somewhat like a human the two days I have to get up then. It’s only til election day, then we’ll close the HQ.

Good evening, radu...any raindrops today.

We are all sun everyday for 3 so far. 70 today, tomorrow, and probably Friday and then maybe some rain.

No rain today. The high pressure dome that’s been sitting over us foreeeeeever won’t move so rain can get here. Rain from the south can’t get up here and rain to the west can’t move across us. Frustrating.

Your 70s sound soooooo nice. Hope y’all can get some rain this weekend. There are still too many fires burning up there and rain would help.

Is your mom having a good night so you’ll be able to relax?

We really aren’t doing much of ANYthing really. Been very slow this election year but we’re there just in case someone shows up wanting a sign or other stuff.

I was set up for three but was about to give up and make four jumps since no one was around. LOL! I was refreshing, watching Peaglet, repeat, repeat. :-)

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS))))

Just came from an open mike night in a different town.

Very disorganized...it turned into a jam session, and i got to play a very nice 12-String.

Now I know what I want for my birthday.

You’d be surprised how much good stuff you can find on Facebook and Twitter. LOL!

You did good sneaking that woohoo in! I was totally not paying attention!

Guess I’d better head out to get ready to get ready for sleep. Geez, just when things are waking up at the nest I have to give up and go to sleep. That little peagliet stuffed himself till he nearly burst! LOL!

Ya did good finding that one. I know two of us who can relate. LOL

Peaglet has the cropzilla thing going today, for sure! After two days of small meals, Lady stuffed that baby today. Holy cow!!!!

I’ll be heading out shortly too. Still have a few things to do before head hits pillow.

Good night and sleep well. Just this one more early morning and you can sleep in Friday. YAY!
