Oooo...it’s gonna get warm in that little room. Do you have a fan of some sort that you can like put in the door to maybe suck some of that cooler air into your place? 90 is very warm for you! Especially with it so cool today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We are waiting for rain, too. And the temps are on their way up into the 60s...warm for here. But I’m ready with a couple box fans from the heat wave a couple years ago. They can move some serious air!!

Grew up with box fans and no AC

I’ll try again tomorrow. Hopefully it will be nice.

[mylife]

They gave me my sticker this week... on the road again...

[mylife]

BOOM!

[left that other site]

Well...I have till the end of May to ride on my old sticker, but after that, I have to have a new one. I just didn’t want to let it go till the last minute.

I don’t work I that little bitty room any more. Haven’t for a long time. I work in the corner just outside that room. I do have a fan I’ll take back up there with me this weekend and it helps a lot. I also open the door to outside that’s in that corner and that helps a lot too.

The smaller of the two rooms in the museum is what I was referring to and it’s not all that small. It’s the room you enter when visiting the museum and has the tanks displayed as well as a lot of other stuff. The room beyond that is much larger and has the Jeeps and several other military vehicles as well as many, many other items. I call it the “Oh my room” because that’s what almost everyone says when they walk through the door. LOL! A couple of the guys who work there call it that, too, now.

There really isn’t much for me to clean at the moment unless they bring in another crate. I’ll be free to spend time in the AC most of the time and will get through the day just fine.

Gotta head out for the night. Early day tomorrow for the Republican women’s meeting. I hope tomorrow’s another comfy enough day there.

[mylife]

Same here

[luvie]

It’s one of those “a picture is worth a thousand words” moments, huh.

[luvie]

Enjoy your meeting tomorrow and I hope the weather cooperates so you have a smooth ride and a good time when you get there.

Good evening, radu...did the survivors do well? I came home and went directly to my lounger. I keep falling asleep.

The sun seems to have abandoned us, but the temps are headed up to the 60s. Maybe some rain this weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Busy, busy week, but today went well. And I think I’m ready for tomorrow.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Woohoo...Mooch finally has some spring!! Enjoy!!!

That would be me...box fans and AC.
