Well, if you guys wanna do something, maybe lunch, call me up. I'm heading out now, do some work, meetup with Kurt, and head out to Revision.
Meetup at Revision at about 11am?
Just be careful and listen to the radio. Winds supposed to get worse this afternoon and this evening. Let's just keep safe!

yay i work at a public school so no work for me. four day weekend. had a holiday monday.. took sick leave tuesday and wednesday.. worked two hours yesterday and now four day weekend. only worked two hours this week lol.. but part of the benefit of being a state worker is i still get paid.
windward side should be getting it the worst. i'm not looking forward to it. got the whole outside of my house wind proofed.. just gotta work about my coconut tree.. telephone poles and everyone elses crap that might fly around.
everybody be safe and be smart
