Howdy, Kathy.
Catching your breath today?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*...weather warming up yet?

We are in the 50s.

Say Canadian geese in the yard Monday...first time in years. They usually stay in the school yard.

I need to throw rocks at them or something...I don’t want them there. They make a huge mess!!

[radu]

Howdy, Conor.
Have a good day? Not as long as yesterday?

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....Mac grabs the gold!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....Sand snags the silver!!

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy...((HUGS))...I'll be sprucing everything up all day Friday and Saturday during daylight for Mrs SR’s return.

All invaders are repelled during the day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....Ms Feather bags the bronze!!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks for the ping, ETR!

*HUGS*

Seeing this, I am reminded of how and why our Nation became and stayed great for so long. The men and women of our parents' generation indeed were the Greatest we have ever produced.

With God's help, and the continued work of our serving patriots, our Beloved Nation will remain great and free for generations to come!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...hope you had a nice, productive day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...got your bags packed?

Still working on schedules and flights?

[radu]

Howdy do, ms. feather!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[PROCON]

HEY, I want to feel "special" too...I award myself this....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...still warm?

Low 50s here, but no sun.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.
Another hot, lazy day out there?

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

A better day today but actually longer at work. We are at a particularly difficult point in this project. The client has a division in many overseas countries including Russia. The Russian division is literally another nation heard from. Different laws, different customs, and different mores. And there is the language barrier as well. We have some Russian fluent reviewers but there are still inconsistencies in documents with supposedly verbatim side-by-side Russian and English text.

Still, it keeps one interested.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Heavy duty right up until the deadline, but I finally got everything corrected.

This week is not usually such a mess. One unit was so bad that a division VP went with a billing folk, who I had warned, and talked to the security manager. Maybe?????

I am off to get a hair cut. Back later.....

[radu]

Yes, quite warm, cloudy, and muggy now. Rain moving in and this time we can use it. Been a bit dry here this month.

[ConorMacNessa]

SNORT!

Oh, good evening, Army Bro! You are indeed speccial! :)

[PROCON]

It was indeed another hot and lazy day.

I did see a couple of babes sunbathing, though...

I flirted with them a bit but they just ignored me.
