| Darn, sure poored at the fleamarket. We didn't open up the booth today. About noon I started packing up. 4"in a Plastic pan, and it was running over. Had to hook up a 4320 to the front, needesd a little pull. Had to detour about 120 miles out of the way on the way home. Water was over the highway. I wanted to pull out at 4:00 last night before everything got wet. Old gal said "but my best day is always tomorrow". Good grief, now she's gotta unload every thing, dry it out and probably put new labels on the majority of her oroducts. There are days when she just don't think right. |

dont tell her that! rained hard last night just at dusk, and then a steady slow rain till morning, very abynormal for west tx ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Me thinks ol shameless is a having way too much fun csmping. Some of us combine work with camping, at least that's what I'm told. Sure glad to get outta a real bed thus AM and go to church. Afterwards we headed to Des Moines to deliver a big ol box of products Then stopped at Harbor Freight. The 25% off coupon I had was not good in Iowa. Little gal founded a 20% off coupon instead. Grand son was here when I got home. He'd been bow hunting. Didn't get anything this time. |

| the rain stopped here about noonish...was hazey all day and the light wind had a little bit of a bite to it. still worked well under the nose of the fifth wheel, put the grill on the flatbed deck of my pickup and was covered above by the trailer, everything kept dry while grilling! looking out over the lake this morning reminded me how it always looked out on the lake of the woods in Canada in the mornings in September's. |

| I wouldn't mind a little rain here. Instead we had a blizzard blow through last night and dumped about 4 in. of "pretty"!! Was a white knuckle drive home last night--couldn't see nuttin for snow and couldn't tell where we was on the highway. Finally got off onto the sheltered side roads and got home OK. I don't know if shameless had anything to do with this one, as he's out campin! |

| thanks Tom...now you gots my mouth slather'in for a good ole pork loin! guess i'll do one on the grill now, (I figgered out how to do that on a grill!) there was one county fair we go to that the pork producers always put out a fine slice of pork for samwiches, now they use processed pork with breading on it for their samwiches, the line isn't as long anymore and it just don't taste as good. I can't believe they did that! |
