8:55 AM Saturday March 12, 2005

The forecast is for 85 degrees today but ... (why is there ALWAYS a but) the gusty winds will be up to 40 MPH! We will stow the Data Storm and lower the TV antenna before we leave home because we're going on a family picnic at Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie. With that heat, the wind may actually be welcome, to me anyway. Phil is finally going to do some fishing; first time since we left WA.
