A perfect Saturday here.
@ 8 p.m. 63*, mostly sunny, NW 8 mph Wind, O rain. Fire up the highway a bit. Warm but not hot. Perfect temperature. A good dry day to get things done.

A quick post.
I’m at work and forgot my charger at home so, it’s a very quick post concerning the crazy weather in the south east. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18mHepMGoP/?mibextid=wwXIfr The above video from Facebook is quite startling.

I know the people affected inContinueContinue reading “Just been watching-“
