Good morning. It's a gorgeous 34 here, but the sun is shining and the sky is blue and it feels warmer. Definitely have some Spring weather now. It was over 70 yesterday and it was so nice to have the windows open!
Morning all.
We'll likely break 60 again today, still dry although that's said to be changing in a few days.
Just don't forget to change your dang clocks!! (Counting my watch, we have 3 time pieces that do that auto-magically

Hola ..
Has anyone paid any attention on how bland vehicle colors have become .. ?? White / Gray / Black / and various shades of those three seem to be the predominant paint job these days .. sure, you see a blue one or a red one sometimes, but it's more the exception than the rule ..
Every doo-dad under the Sun as far as technology goes, gets packed into modern vehicles .. yet, along the way, they have lost their flavor .. I don't know what that means for Society at large, but it's a sad commentary on the general populace being willing to accept the mundane ..
Now, apparently, the Cuban folks have kept the car colors alive ..

That is soooo crazy! I was just thinking this the other day. Thanks!
edit:
I think the most popular color now is "Primer Gray"

I've been complaining about that for some time. My current and last vehicle were/are shades of red. I just didn't want a black, grey, or white car and like you said, they mainly vary the shade of grey/silver for almost all vehicles on the market now-a-days.
Perhaps I'm biased to this shade of red, my first ever car was in the same color family. Mine didn't have the post separating the windows (it was called a hardtop convertible model
) and it was all maroon it wasn't topped in black like the picture. I did like the Hurst 4 on the floor shifter and bucket seats. It was a cool car. 
Battleship gray is appearing on new models
I love a good, honest gray or tan. My own happens to be a vaguely silver color - like half the other cars on the road.
Good morning. The thermometer says it's 36 degrees, but it doesn't feel that cold outside and it looks warmer than it is from the window. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.
What a pretty color! You do have a way with orchids!
You're right Willie. When we bought our last car I told the salesman NO GRAY! Look in any parking lot and most of the cars seem to be gray. How dull and uninteresting.

Conversely, if all cars are the same color, it's harder to nail down which one is the get-away vehicle...
Morning, all.
Maybe rain later. Good. I need the break!

Good morning all. It looks like it will be a good day here, weather-wise at least. I'm about finished putting the new motor on the brush mower. It has been one of those projects that have taken some Okie Ingenuity. I had to make one final trip to Auto Zone for a different size belt for running the cutting blade. After my caffeine does its job, I'll go out and put the new belt on and start it up. I hope everyone has a good day. Stay safe and well.
Good morning. It's only 25 outside this morning and going to be a chilly 42 today, but the sun is shining with blue skies. Lovely.
We need to get the stuff back up to the sidewalk for the Vietnam Vets pick-up this morning. We had it all out there last Wed. but got a call that the driver had an emergency so we had to re-schedule for today. So we had to schlep it all back to the garage.

We have 14 going to 27.
