Default It is too nice outside...

I am still at work and I just got back from lunch.

The temperature is about 65-70 degrees, very sunny and a nice cool breeze, just enough to cool you down while your at the light.

I walked back into my window-less lab to stare at my convertable wallpaper and debating whether I should sneak out for the rest of the day.

* sigh *

4 more hours to go.

Oh darn... I still have another hour or so. Of course the weather here is humid and quite warm still. We had a teaser of beautiful weather last weekend. Looking forward to getting home so I can give me new boy a bath and a couple coats of Zaino. (If only my boss would leave early ...

It's not nice outside here, but that doesn't mean I can't leave work early - I deserve a short day .

I snuck out early, got home, and washed the car quickly. Sunny, 60 degrees and breezy. I am starting to clean her up for my last car show of the season tomorrow in York, PA.

I snuck out of my 12 hour shift to go to emissions in the nice 80 and sunny weather. The bad part is a dump truck coming the other way hauling asphalt had chunks flying off it into the road and a half golf ball size wacked my left front fender and sratched it.
That will show me
