Must be something to call it in on top of yourself, hoping for a few yards leeway.

I'd hate to have to make that decision, but I guess if you're about to be overrun you may as well take the chance and take as many of the enemy with you as you can.

No time to chat, but wanted to stop in and wish you some happiness. I have a bathroom to clean and then a hot date to prepare for. It's our once every 5 years date night. LOL

Thanks for another picture from OP Hawthorne.

When I think of them pulling the guys who were sick and those ready to go home to help in this it just breaks my heart. It does sound like it could have been worse for us, they all did a really good job.

It's a heat wave! We are warming up to 40 tomorrow. We've been lucky the last few years with warmer winters. We are paying for it this year though.
