Good morning everyboomie.
Someone tell me this is Sunday, and I missed a day somewhere.
Somewhere is where the weekend went I guess.
When the sun finally came out, it turned out to be an awesome day.
I exercised and then took the dogs to the park in town for a long time. Then I got some groceries, and came back home, and worked in the yard for several hours on the garden.
Then I shaved my head, got my shower, ate my supper, and here I am.
That's all I got done. Tomorrow I'll do more. Not sure what yet.
Maybe sleep.
Have a happy day everyone.
