    Default The Marie Celeste?

    Or at least it feels like it!
    I can only presume one of several things:
    a) A giant sink hole has swallowed the US.
    b) The weather is really, really good/bad.
    c) There's a public holiday I know nothing about.
    d) The interweb has had a meltdown.
    e) Ooh, Ooh, I know..... an EMP pulse has knocked out everything electrical on your side of the pond!

    It's going to be at least a year before all the transformers are replaced. But never fear!.... I'll hold the fort while you're all away.

    Now, where's the Ban Button, light switch and QC dept?

    We are always here. I just happened to be testing some new stealth equipment in the Q.C. labs when you posted.

    The weather here has actually turned delightful for outdoor chores. Very low humidity and moderate temperatures for a change. And so many "honey do" chores

    Ummmmm....life with 4 young kids, great weather, working every day, minding the home and finding time to hang out with hubby. That's where I've been for the past 4 months! Hope you are well, my friend across the pond!

    same here.. the heat finally broke and it's been raining for the last 2 days. For the first time in weeks, the temperature didn't break 100*. Been trying to make the best of it. I'll pop in for a snack or glass of iced tea and see if anything's goin on, but I'm enjoying the 95* temps outside as much as possible!
    Just think, summer will be over in about 3 more months and then it'll be winter!

    I'm taking a little mini vacation (have relatives coming to town). The pictures I post might be more to your liking. I promise - no gators - well, unless they are on the golf course.

    The only obstacle I like to see on a golf course is the 19th hole
    BTW have a nice time with the relatives.

    We still have a few warm days ahead but its already getting down in the 40's at night.
