Good morning -- What a difference a day makes ! Not much Sun and chilly this AM but no rain at the moment but the day looks iffy at best .Gates are to open in half an hour or so and the Division One Tech people will be checking cars just after that -- better get 'er done before we have a cloudburst or something .

Got to visit with with my almost lifelong friend Ray Valpreda last night who along with his wife Ruth made the trek here from Concorde , North Carolina so they could spend their Memorial Day with us here in D1 -- its great to see them and talk about the good 'ole days ...............Another couple to join us after an absence is John & Dot Pressing --- more stories to be told tonight around the campfire .............

Here is a little good news before I sign off -- the Barometer has returned -- its in the 29 Seventies and climbing . Later ..........
