Hey there, Kathy.
The bad weather isn’t due here until Wednesday night. Today was nice but still a little cool. Tomorrow and Wednesday will feel like summer. Then normal springtime temps of 60s follow for a few days after the storms. It’s spring time in the south. LOL
I saw y’all had another gloomy day up there today. At least it’s warm enough to keep melting the snow.

Oh, speaking of the range, son and I are going out to our gun range this Wednesday, first time of the year since the weather is so nice.
We're members so we reserve a private shooting pit where we'll practice our pistol shooting targeting and end with putting a few magazines of AR-15 downrange.
I'm excited we're going too because I picked-up a new 20 gauge pump shotgun for our trap shooting range, shooting clay pigeons as they fly in different directions, a lot of fun and skill involved.

You were lucky then. Video of some of the squalls showed they were HEAVY. The one where that massive pile-up was was really intense.
BRRRRRRRRRR!!! Too cold tonight! I’d better shut up, though, because we could still have a night or two that cold. LOL
I guess your Thursday storms are with the system that’ll blow through here Wednesday night. Maybe yours won’t be as bad as ours are supposed to be.
Meteorological March madness is right!

You’re going out there so soon? COOL! I thought it might be a while longer.
It sounds like y’all have the day planned out and it sounds like it’s going to be a blast!

Hey there, radu!
Hope your Monday went well. I got the things done that were on my list, but man! did it get hot while I was at it. Had to turn on the fan...and then later the AC. Now, it feels really good outside. Started to sit out, but the patio table needs to be cleaned before using. Bird pooh. LOL!
Was the weather there pretty today? Colder? Warmer?

...and yes, it did get as hot as expected, and it’s still 81. Hopefully, it’ll cool off tomorrow. Unfortunately, that comes with high winds again. Bah!,

Yes, the day went well enough. Light jacket weather rather than heavy, like yesterday. A nice day for running a few errands.
Tomorrow and Wednesday will be turn-on-the-AC days.
You need to clean that patio furniture! LOL

I do...every other day most of the time. But today was too hot to do it. No leaves on the trees to give shade. I’ll probably get it done tomorrow. But the birds are always around. LOL! Stupid doves.

Yuck. You need a roof over the patio so the bird poop won’t land on the patio and furniture.

I know we do, and I wish I had the close to $10,000 to have one built. Our patio is huge. And in a semi-circle. Should have done it years ago, but just never did.
Oh, well, I do have plenty of paper towels and Windex. LOL!
