Y'all are bordering on quite warm this week, aren't you? But high 70s are still comfortable. I do wish you could get some rain down there because you need it so badly.

It was a bit brisk on the mountain this weekend. Yesterday was gloomy and a cold 44 degrees to the 54 degrees down here. Today was 55 there with a biting breeze and 65 down here. At least we had sunshine today.

It was very slow yesterday but we were busy today. Lots of fun folks. My last tour was with an Iraq war vet and his wife and they were a blast.

But the real blast happened when I was between tours. Boss Man showed up with a 1944 Dodge ¾ ton weapons carrier that his father bought 52 years ago. It hadn't run for many years. Boss Man spent the last three years working on it and has it running in tip-top shape now.

He asked if I'd like to go for a short spin and he didn't have to ask twice! LOL His mom, who works there on Saturdays, popped off a shot as we were getting ready to take off. What a thrill to get a chance to ride in a piece of history.

Oh, WOW!!! Good weekend, and that ride in the truck had to be the icing on the cake! And what a clear blue sky to do it in. I do notice you have a jacket on, though. LOL!
