Good evening Illinois, Sean, Ken, Pat, and John!

Hot sumbltch today with humidity that you could wear 96° with an index of 99°. Oppressive to say the least!

Got the back yard mowed before it warmed up.

Tomorrows high of 75° will come at 3:30AM and drops from there. We finally get a break!

I'm hoping the rain will hold off too because I want to go back and check out that station wagon a little closer and talk with the guy who now owns the land..

That will be cool to start a third project.
Just hope that you can find room for it.
