PC turned me 100% off of the NFL several years ago...haven’t watched since, and now the kneeling, too.

[radu]

You should have gone outside any way, kittehs or not. LOL! It was a beautiful sight.

It wasn’t windy here last night but it was really cold. There was a breeze kicking up when I went out this morning to get the eclipse shots. It had blown up to a stiff wind by the time I woke up and it’s very unpleasant tonight even though the temp isn’t too bad.

A cold front is moving towards us and they say we could get snow tomorrow evening. No accumulation expected though.
The good thing is we should have rain during the day and we can use it.

[luvie]

The kneeling is the worst....and the irony is that is isn’t PC at all. It’s disrespectful and uncaring of patriots’ feelings.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...temp is 1 right now and still dropping. Space heater going, toasty warm, relaxing, and the inevitable...falling asleep.

How has your day been? Any rain in sight?

[luvie]

I think it’s supposed to cool down here tomorrow too, but to the 50s or so. it was in the high 70s today. Sounds good, but if it’s this warm in January/February, it will be pure-hell hot in July and August!

All that high wind has got to be so unpleasant, but if it rains, that’s a plus! Maybe it’ll help out come planting time!

[Kathy in Alaska]

No pics, but it was big and beautiful. I’ve tried to find a time lapse video, but I can’t get the TV station’s to play.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...good hunting weather? Still Red Flag?

You and Bo have a great Thursday.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.

Thanks, unique, for the pastries.

Coffee is always on........

How about a donut?

Cookies?

Veggies?

Sandwich?

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Good night.

Guess I’d better go for tonight! See ya tomorrow night? Hope the wind dies down soon so you can enjoy the day!

[E.G.C.]

Thursday Morning Coffee Bump.

No gophers yesterday but Bi did some digging. No Red Flag today. It's cooler than it has been.

[radu]

Oooooo, BRRRR! Your temp gives me chills just to read it. LOL

It was a crazy day. Side-tracked over and over again and it seemed I’d never get to sit down tonight. Just one of those days we all have every now and then.

Rain tomorrow, they say, and maybe a little snow tomorrow evening. Still ridin’ the weather roller coaster.

Sleep well. I hope tomorrow is an easy day for a change. You’re overdue for one!

[radu]

We’ll be in the 50s again tomorrow but the temps will start dropping by evening. High only in the 30s Friday. It’ll be another windy day tomorrow as well. We’re a little tired of wind.

Y’all were really warm today! That sounds really good at the moment. LOL

I’ve heard this summer is supposed to be a hot, wet one for our part of the country but I can’t find anything for your neck o’ the woods. I hope it’ll be wet there too.

[radu]

Good night and sleep well.

If tomorrow goes smoother than today did, I’ll be here a lot earlier tomorrow evening. See ya then.

[luvie]

It's a blustery day in the 'hood.
I think we're having a cold front come in.
Can't really tell...
...the temperature is 43.
Not really "cold".
Of course, the sky begins to look sandy.
Hope it's pretty where y'all are!
The weekend is nearly here!
Happy Friday Eve!
(((hugs)))

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W.

It's blustery here too. Winds gusted to 4 MPH at Ketchum Ranch this morning.

Hopefully those winds are on their way down, we'll see.

How's it going for you this morning?

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! (((hugs)))

I guess our wind is blowing down from OK! It’s cooler but not uncomfortably so. Then it will go up into the 70s for 4-5 days. I really prefer some chilly weather in February! Guess I’m weird! LOL!

Hope you and Bo have fun at the lake in spite of the wind. And sure hope it doesn’t cause any power outages for you!
