More Moisture in the forecast and a Walk With Abbey

Today will be a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 26C(79F).
Tonight will bring clearing this evening and an overnight low of 13C(55F).
================================================= =====


No work done on the washroom yesterday but I did salvage the tailpiece from thr old sink.
I took Abbey out yesterdat for a 2.3 mile walk and she made a new friend. The other dog was almost a match for Abbey, sme size and almost the same color except the other dog was a more reddish brown almost like a pincher brown.It's a good thing the Queen wasn't there because the owner was an attractive blonde lady.
My sleep pattern is sure messed up. The internal alarm wakes me at 5am and I'm beat by 8:30pm. I'll have to check on that with the doctor on my next scheduled visit.
The long range forecast calls for rain beginning Monday evening and into Tuesday. It sure is a bad year for the local farm community.
I've heard that the 2 fries factories have run out of local potatoes and are hauling them in from the U.S.. With the price of fuel the cost of a bag of fries to go with your meal is sure to rise.
The excess moisture will affect the vegetable growers in the area too. They bring in mexican workers to do the grunt work and are already flying some back to Mexico.

Good morning Tony. Looks like another warm sunny day here with possible T storms later. Gotta get out this morning and cut the front lawn. Its looking scruffy again. Certainly will be a nice day for father's around the country as they celebrate Father's day. I am sure the BBQs will be going, weather permitting and family will join together to give praise to the fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers who are blessed to be with them.

Have a great day dear one. Enjoy...you certainly deserve to celebrate Father's Day in style.

Good Morning Tony!

Scootin' by this am to wish you a terrific FATHERS DAY! Looks like our respective weather reports will provide the perfect day to celebrate fathers or, in my case, father-in-laws. In any event, hope you get the royal treatment you deserve.

Does the Queen ever read your blogs? I take it as a no, because then you could be in deep doo-doo! "Tony, you didn't tell me she was blond and attractive!" lol!
Anyway, since today's Father's Day, if you got caught, she would give it a pass!
Hope you have a great Father's Day!
