Good morning everyboomie.

It was a cold dark damp day here today.

It might have been yesterday, if you are reading this tomorrow.

My two days off are supposed to be rainy too, so I may not be doing much. Not outdoors anyway.

I hope it rains 10 inches.

I've gotta go now though. My eyeballs keep rolling back in my head, making it difficult to read what I'm writing, and my bladder fluid has reached the spillway. The flood gates must be opened.

Have a happy day everyone.
