Morning, mixers,
Thanks for letting us know.
Welcome

When "regulars", especially us older ones, suddenly go missing from regular appearances, it can be unsettling

So if I know ahead of time that I'm going to disappear I'd rather not cause any concern
Did get done most of what we wanted to, so despite the radical change in routine, I guess we'll call it a success
Here in the PNW we're also heading into a streak of high 80s, with continued no rain. Yeah, looking at what's going on in Europe, Asia, Alaska and the rest of the CONUS, not going to complain. (Much

)
And, of course, the water company loves it.
