Not much rain here, but we've been in the misty-blowy-drippy zone for about a day and a half. Wind gusts in the neighborhood of 45 MPH.

A little bit of rain here yesterday. Wind was just whipping through the valley. Heavy fog this morning.

Just checked the 10 day forecast. They still say no rain until pm Thursday and AM Friday.

On a different topic, got to see an all black T-38/F-5 doing touch and go's today. My storage is in line with Fresno/Yosemite Airport, but usually the wind is blowing the other way and they take off over the storage unit. Today the planes were landing over it. Saw two F-18's and the black F-5. I have never seen an all black T-38, so I am guessing this one was an F-5. Looked awesome. Wish I would have had my camera with me to get some photos. Next time I go, I will take it with me, but I doubt he will be there then.

Jim

Well, chit, sitting here at the dentist's office waiting to go to the torture chair. Not the best way to sneak out of work.

My husband tried that... But the tooth that had to come out was stuck against the tooth next to it. All he did was chip it, inflict a ****ton of pain, and have to go to the dentist anyway

I couldn't deal with the embarrassment! I would have buckled down and finished the job.
