The nic is minor and the first in a long time. :)
We're heading for two days of rain and then three days of near tropical temperatures.
Oh, and the garage is in progress. :)

You know you're zen precisely when all hell breaks loose and you get through it blameless!!! The nick is only to remind you're still among us!! :tu
