85°f and beautiful today. The guy is still up there putting in the concrete. Once he is done nothing will go to that register on the first floor except the water from 2 ACs, that's not very much. He was able to double up on the glass block skylight so we will still have light in that area.

Glad the election is over, hope there are no repercussions. Got a really good exchange rate though today.

Feel better Sally.

Tarev .. love the new pic Smiling

Jonna .. believe it or not, the Can/US exchange is just horrifying .. costs us close to $.25 to buy an American dollar ..so, when we go over, we have to keep that in mind and incorporate it into the cost of what we are purchasing.
Good to hear the roof is repaired Thumbs up

James, is Laredo far from home for you? Hope all went well ..

Crept up to 65F here today with a repeat on board for tomorrow .. believe it or not, still finding yard stuff to do ..

Windy and already 50F !
Weather like this in November is unheard of !
In 1975 the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk on Lake Superior in a vicious winter storm ..

Back home and back at my desk today. Since that cold front moved in, it's only 65F currently and only supposed to get up to 75F today (warmer than it was in Laredo either way). Now that Fall is officially officially here, I'm going to just have to adjust. Slowly creeping towards Winter. Glad to be home.

85°f now with a predicted high of 89°f today, low predicted to be 70°f which is pretty darn cold for here. We have totally stopped using the AC and have all the patio doors and windows open in the bedroom, it's wonderful to have that fresh air again. Hard to sleep late though as the sun comes in as far as the foot of the bed. I find myself scooching up to keep my feet out of it so I can sleep longer Hilarious!

High of 69 and sunshine today. Funny thing is the weather app on my phone kept saying partly cloudy with scattered showers. There wasn't a cloud in the sky to be seen today so where the heck did they come up with that. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling my eyes.
