    Good morning. It's 64 and cloudy. The high today should be around 70 and there's a chance of thunder storms.

    Good morning. It's 43 and cloudy. The high will be 60 and it will clear off to partly cloudy. Nothing much done on the layout yesterday as I was occupied doing a backup on my computer. A DVD can only hold so much and I went through quite a few of them. I'm really not sure what I'll be doing...

    So far my day has gone about as I predicted. I went down and mowed my parents yard. That done I get told that there's a picnic table (one of two on the property) that needs to be moved. I can't move it myself so I push it to where it needs to be with the tractor. Then there are some piles of...
