The Mayor!!

Howdy, Kathy.

Hump Day!
All checks posted on time?
I hope you went home sans homework so you can chill for change.

[radu]

Howdy, Mayor.

It looks like you have more snow moving in tonight.
Are you as sick of it as we are of rain? We’re underwater and it’s going to rain all night. *sigh*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Marine...snowing? Have you had much this winter?

It was snowing when I left for work this morning, but only inch on my deck.

[The Mayor]

Yea, tonight and tomorrow.
I’m tired of it all at this point.
I need Spring soon

Stay safe all tat rain really sucks

[radu]

The rain sure sucks, alright, and the storms. I’m hoping the rain will slow down enough to do a quick walk-around soon to check for damage from the squall line that came through here earlier this evening. The wind was intense and with the ground so saturated, it would be easy for trees to fall.
Just haven’t bucked up the courage to go out there yet.

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Was glad to see earlier that you got a little rain. Every little bit helps. I’m still trying to figure out how to get some of ours down to you. LOL

[MS.BEHAVIN]

My hair is NOT dark grey!
It’s is now as white as the snow!
LOL

[MS.BEHAVIN]

“I wonder what she had on the front of her shirt.
The soldiers seemed to like it a lot.”
I hope she wasn’t flashing them!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...any respite from the rain? Is Penny staying dry?

We had a few days above freezing, and now we are headed to low single digits again.

[radu]

That thought crossed my mind. LOL

[luvie]

Yeah, but it was darker a few years ago. :)

[luvie]

LOL! I never thought of that.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch. The last couple days have been really windy and just getting from my office to my car is a REALLY cold walk!!

Are you staying warm and dry?

[Kathy in Alaska]

No worries, Pro...have a great work day!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hope you have enough firewood to last til summer if need be.

Be careful and safe!

[MoochPooch]

Warm, maybe, but not dry, as it is raining out there. But . . . I manage.

[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.<p<How’s everyone doing this morning?

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

We’re drowning over here, that’s how we’re doing. LOL

Has the cold moved in to your area now? Probably going to be too chilly for an outing. This is a pretty hefty cold front coming across the country. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[E.G.C.]

Well, I'm getting ready to head up to Billingsley Ford in Duncan later this morning. They are going to put in a new transmission and fuel filter. They said it might be a couple of hours but it'll be worth the wait.

Gizmo found some dirty places to roll over at Wichita Ridge yesterday. He sure seemed to enjoy himself. We had a great time out there. It was a little cool but not as bad as the last few days.

I did go ahead and get my grocery shopping done for the week. It's supposed to get even colder tomorrow night BTW, lower 20's.
