Good morning members - to say its not pretty here today is an understatement as its just plain ugly outside .Put together 64 degrees with 76% humidity along with a 29.15 barometer and we're past 2000' already at 6:30 AM .With no Sun showing it'll be a few hours till this place dries out . That is if and I say if we have no more showers .

Be back a little later with an update ............Welcome to the start of Summer ! !

Ended up with four rows in the field overnight. Things are rolling in fairly quickly this morning: in sight of the gate already.

8am is supposed to be the warmest time today. The front moving through is 10 degrees colder. It was 56 in Columbus last night when I talked to my wife, and 64 here. It's coming!

Jack's up! The wind has picked up, and it has started to rain. Radar shows bands of green all the way down into VA, aimed at running right over us. Weather Channel is calling for 30-40% all day and into the overnight hours. I'd gotten out the California Water Blade last night to dry the car a little, and it looks like the California Car Cover is staying on awhile. Guess I'll whip out yhe Duckbrella and see who else is out in the deluge as they continue to park rigs.

I 've got a nice spot up against the treeline across from the gas pumps... there's a tree right in the middle that I've pulled up to where few others could fit. Love my little truck! I actually did see a couple other open trailers.

Actually, I stay out here for the points race.

Tech was being done in the barn while it was raining this morning. It's just spritzing at the moment and more cars are lining up, so inspectors have moved outside.
