Hiya Beachie!

Wow, it's sunny and hot here, had lunch with my son today and just relaxin' with the A/C blastin', hope all is well your way.

Howdy

Yes, we did get a good rain.
I think we got a bit of that nasty stuff as it passed through. No damage reported but saw a lot of leaves and small limbs.
And the microwave clock was at zeros.

I rode over 50 miles today.

Chilly but sunny...Leather Weather!

I LOVE it.

[radu]

Glad to hear you didn’t get ripped off on rain. Sounds like there was a little yeeha up there though. We missed out on that, fortunately. Just a lot of rain with a few little thunderstorms. The power did go off for a few seconds yesterday afternoon but I’m not sure why.

[beachn4fun]

Cool.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Were you lucky enough to have another nice day?
It was very nice here.
