Good morning South Dakota and guests! Monday is more tolerable after a 3 day weekend. 
You didn't hear me the last two days??? It was miserable here, 90's and very high humidity. I hid inside most of the day yesterday.

Morning George! Yep, I'm pretty much moved in now. Got some stuff in the garage at the house, figure I will leave that till it's sold. Sure is nice not having the angry broom in the room beside me. Lol
