Good evening Illinois, John, Sean, Pat, Lanny, and Don when he stumbles in!

Was 88° and super humidified today. This mornings 1/4" of rain made for a sticky day here.

got more rain coming tonight, tomorrow, and Monday. That's alright because everyday is a Saturday.

Howdy John!

We had humidity that you could wear today.

We walked Macy around the block this morning while it was still cloudy and when we got back home we were sweaty wet.

It was comfortable in the shop laying on the floor, I kept a nice chunk of carpet from our living room for that purpose..

That is called a Polish creeper, as long as you don't fall asleep!

I have a creeper but never use it because it makes it too tight to do anything under the vehicle. The carpet protects my back from the cool floor..

I have a good creeper but when the floor has cracks and pops in it, it doesn't make using it much fun.

There is that too, the wheels seem to find any bit of dirt on the floor and stops you dead..
