In that case no, I'll be staying home.

Actually I will be there for a few minutes, but I'll try to avoid you if possible

Never saw over 94* here, but it's been plumb sticky all day...tried to rain earlier.

Shoveling dirt all day. When I left Northridge at 1830, it was 97*.

It was warmer earlier.

Yea, it was......

Steve, we picked up a whacker today, and will use through the weekend. Picked up a load of good import, too, but it's marginally dry. Have added some water to the pile to sit overnight. Will get some photos and a drawing together.

I hung out with Jeremy nukleux with the white dodge, we were there for about an hr before anyone else showed up. I came back home to watch my neighbor's son spar. He didn't do to well.

Rode out to Ramona today to say goodbye to The Mule...Mike's wife Sally had a little BBQ and was selling some of the spare parts and some tools that she won't be needing. The guy who bought the truck is flying out Tuesday and will drive it back to Ohio where it will become a dedicated sled puller.

As long as we were out that way, decided to go by Dudley's and picked up some bread, and also got an Apple pie from the Julian Pie Co.

Cuz if you gotta eat, it might as well be pie
