Good morning everyboomie.

That will be the last time you here that from me, this weekend.

Wouldn't you just love to get a dollar from someone every time you said 'good morning'?

Well don't look at me!

I got my hand out too.

Just not holding my breath.

I'd love to get a dollar every time someone said, "Will someone please shut him up?"

OR...."Hey somebody catch that guy!"

Have a happy day everyone.
