Plans may have changed a little, I may have to work Friday morning now, we'll see how tomorrow goes.

Bring the kids, it will be nice to meet you.

We had some hard rain yesterday. About 2.5" between yesterday evening and over night
We had anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 here. It was A LOT worse south east of here, 5 to 6 inches of rain in less than 2 hours.

Yeah we only had about a half inch here. But it looked like you guys had some flash flooding down there. Anything close to you guys?
No flooding around here, but to the south and east is bad. I saw a car upside down in a creek about 75 feet from the road and a lot of bridges and roads washed out.

92' 5th Wheel

I believe a few are shooting for around 2 oclock. Not sure If we'll be there that early or not, depends on how tomorrow goes.

I saw those too Jay, for some reason he thinks he'll get that for them.

Gotta love those joggers as long as there of the female gender!

I drove for the first time today since my knee surgery. It was OK, a little awkward trying to sit with you left knee totally straight, I have my seat all jacked around trying to fit in there. I don't think it would be very comfortable for an extended time.

Beyond that I have just been resting my knee for the most part. It's time consuming running it though the CPM and Icing it 3 times a day.
Glad to hear you are making progress Jason!!

Well if you see my drink is dry get me another and after so many I am bound to do something dumb! Lol

Ok I think I am sorta caught up except for what I missed while typing this!!
