Afternoon, everyone.
Bob, Excellent planning. Your road workers should slow down Chris long enough for us to beat a hasty retreat when he starts for home.

That's too bad about the old home place in Marion. I wish we were saving more historic structures like that but, with this economy, cities are finding every tax dollar they can. A typical short term approach to long term issues.

I hope your back pain improves. I imagine all the layout building and moving hasn't helped matters. Some narcotics can be a real good thing at times like this.
Chris, not to worry, I'll take good care of the fish. Are any of them at all tasty if grilled up? Not that I'd do that, just wondering.
Phillip, that ear thing sounds awful. Have you had any dizziness in association with this infection? Have lost any hearing? This sounds more like a bad sinus infection rather than inner ear if you haven't had dizziness or hearing loss. I hope your doctor gets on top of it so you can get some rest.
BOC, better get out there with the canoe before the lake goes away. It looks like you are headed for a prolonged dry spell, which you guys can probably use. Our hot high should start retrograding to the west by Wednesday and that will block most storm development over the east.
Tom, all we've had is that stange bright object for about two weeks now. I'm ready for it to stay up by your place and give us some clouds and maybe a little rain.
I think I finally beat the new computer into submission so I'll do the big swap tonight. Dianna's computer is almost done and might get done if she'd stop asking me questions about how Vista works every 14 seconds.

I keep telling her that's why there's a Help file. I don't want to sound mean but, if I'm run over by a bus tomorrow, she has to be able figure it out on her own.
It's hotter here than Vegas and I don't get free drinks.

Rex, if I was up on your roof, 0500 is when I'd start too. The low here last night was only 78 and we didn't hit that until just before 0600. High has been 107 and even the wind is hot. I'm always amazed we don't have more wildfires here. If we had this weather in California, half the state would be on fire. I'm hoping we'll start to "cool" off by Friday, which means highs back in the mid-90's and the hope of some rain.
