Hmmm, average price huh. That was a little more than half of the price that was listed on the packaging.

No you did not... had a fire department call that I had to run out to. Nothing serious, just an automatic alarm that tripped for no apparent reason.

Good morning Don, Dave, Ken, Jim, Dick, Sean and everyone else that drops by today. Looks like we have more rain on the way to go with the couple that we had over the weekend. Gotta luv mud season....lol
