And it’ll be the afternoon when I finish this, so good afternoon all. Shopping has been completed, had to make several stops to get everything, but all is good and the Jersey Mike’s #3 is assimilating as I type. Swimming will be in a little bit, might cut back a bit from 1 1/2 mile to 1 1/4 and see how that goes. Arby’s has been advertising their hamburgers around here a lot, so might try one for dinner tonight. Otherwise not much on the agenda.

**Wheelie** , found ya. Your company does take care of you (or it gets a big discount from the hotel, that’s not cheap property).

**Yanker** , concur about ‘trips’. Sounds like you have things well-planned, but October out west may be cooler and more stormy that you want. Still, have a heck of a good time. And kudos to Operation Possum Drop. I did a similar Operation Mouse Relocation a couple of months ago that was also successful.

**FCM** , if MIL is strong enough to have the piercing done, I’d say go for it; maybe a nose-piercing at the same time???

**JtC** , I remember being on ‘Safari’ at an amimal preserve in S. Africa and the guide/tracker didn’t mind sitting on the hood of the car with a full-grown male lion less that 10 feet away (we were in a the open-air car, but we was right out there). Now, when we got close to the Cape Buffaloes…

**Boo fae** , sounds like a wonderful weekend was had. Glad you survived the driving public. I try to avoid toll roads here, there is usually a viable alternative but glad it worked out.

**Cookie** , no smoking or falling into a dream.

**doggio** , hope the place doesn’t burn to the ground while you are gone.

**Coppertone** , yeah, 180/100 is not good; I’m usually 130-140/60, which is still to high but seems to work out.

**Oopsie** , hang in there and hope Bailey is doing better.

Neat!!

And as predicted, it’s 12:15pm so have a good afternoon all.
