A morning haiku for all of you.

Nicely done Sister!

Rain here, but I won't complain. We need it. Supposed to rain off and on for the next two days.

Fingers crossed for Autumn. She is competing in the Mrs United States Pageant this week against 52 other ladies.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

So Vegas was nice. 109 degrees, but with no humidity it was bearable. Definitely better than 90 degrees and 45% humidity!

Autumn had fun at her pageant. While she may not have placed she gained a great deal of knowledge and experience and as she moves from being a delegate to a director that will prove very valuable to her for preparing her girls for their run at nationals. She will be able to run several states and give up her current job (which she hates) to pursue her passion and make money at something she loves. Glad one of us can. LOL

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

80s in Virginia? High 50s in the mornings? In JULY?!? Thanks Polar Vortex! 4th morning this month I had to wear a hoodie on the ride into work. Made for a nice afternoon to cut the grass yesterday and working outdoors after work.

Hope everyone is having a good week of it so far. Only a month out for those who are fortunate enough to make it to Dragon Con. For the rest of us.....? *shrugs*

Thanks for the thumbs up on Guardians. Been on the fence about it.

Humidity has been creeping back in here in Virginia too. Course, as you said, it is August and we should have a summer I suppose. Still, I have a feeling we may get an early fall this year.

Hope everyone's Big Suck is bearable. Almost over now.

Sorry to hear about the construction issues and that the cost is going to be higher than originally believed. Gotta do what you gotta do, right? Hopefully it turns out better than you expected!

Hump Day! To us Heathens it is Odin's Day! Either way it puts us halfway to the weekend. Keep it between the white lines, fly below the radar and may you always outrun the feds.

Ok, so per the order of Sister Big Suck gets a pass today. Lucky for you Big Suck. *scowls*

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Rain held off and so far they are calling for a clear week for us here. Boss is on vacation this week so all in all a good week ahead. Yay!

Yesterday was nice here. Mid 80s, low humidity and cloudy. Today? Wet, rainy, humid as Hell, and high 80s. Rest of the week is supposed to be clear, sunny and mid to high 80s. Sure hope so. Not riding today sucked.

At least things are mildly calm and quiet w/ the boss out this week. Keep your fingers crossed they stay that way.

Yep, halfway to the weekend! Week seems to be passing fast. Got a fair amount of rain yesterday, even had flooding in some areas. Today has been sunny and warm, though luckily not too humid. Made for a nice ride in this morning.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Only 16 days out from D*C for those lucky enough to be going. Hope you all have a wonderful time.

Shiny!

Just read through all that, and I found it suprisingly heartwarming. At least, warming through imagining that heat you guys are tellin' about! What's it here, hump day? Certainly got the hump of something done today - looks like I've clawed my way into university. Go learn stuff. Kill people with my brain. Sounds like fun.
Uh, can't work out why you're listin' stuff though, Sarge... Ma'am...

Have a great day!!!!

Hey Chalk!
Great on the university; clawing in and all! Get that brain all soaked with knowledge!
I just check in every day or so to keep our thread up top..sometimes it might get a bit boring (and annoying, I'm sure) but I make no apologies!
Browncoat 1 and I have been with the 76th since the beginning…marched in a bunch of parades and it's just nice to check in.
Hope you'll do the same!!
HOO-RAH for another Friday!!

Hope everyone has had a good week and that you all have a wonderful, fun, relaxing weekend.

Sounds like your weather is heading our way Sister. Starting around 1pm today we have a 40 of thunderstorms, but it goes up to 75% chance by 6pm. Forecast is showing rain every day this week except Thursday.

At least the heat has stayed down, though the humidity has started creeping back up again. Got the grass and all cut yesterday so if it rains I am at least ahead of it for a week.

Hump Day Eve…
Hope you didn't get the monsoons we did, Browncoat1…at least the construction site at our place hasn't washed away! The crew expanded and deepened a ditch near the structure that worked to save the foundation..since that was the highest we've seen the water in 14 years…we'll be okay.
Hope everybody is surviving storms.

Rained fairly heavy most of the day Monday, but not monsoon level. Rained last night, but nothing so far today. Been a 40% chance all day, but just heavy clouds looming overhead. Supposed to be a 70-80% chance starting around 4pm, just in time to make the commute home suck. *sighs* Ah well, nothing for it but to do it, right?

Supposed to be partly sunny and no rain tomorrow so I can get the Harley back on the road. Keep your fingers crossed.

Glad the crew was able to prevent the rain from taking out the foundation and pushing back their time table.

Yeah, brief shower last night just after dark, some thunder later, but no real rain to speak of. Humidity is way up today, topping 50%. 90% chance of heavy thunderstorms tonight, then 40-50% chance of thunderstorms most of the day tomorrow. At least it will be Friday.

Come on weekend!!!
