   Yep, think we got some overnight here last night, and   
   overcast today and a little cooler.

   YOu can still find some great deals on hardware, test   
   equipment, all sorts of stuff.  IN fact, I saw less computer hardware than   
   usual at that one, which surprised me, except   
   one vendor selling iPads and the like brand new which I   
   didn't have an interest in.   
      
   RW> Yep, great here!  Temp in the low '80's on our way home this afternoon.    
   RW> This morning i started with sweatshirt etc. on   
   RW> the way in, about mid-morning I peeled off the sweatshirt

   MH> It is like summer here now.  We had the heat on less than a week   
   MH> ago.  Today we already hit 84 degrees.   
      
   Like I noted, a bit cooler here today, only low 70's, quite   
   a contrast.  i grilled steaks yesterday afternoon, though we had a bit of   
   wind.  Just kept a good eye on it.   
      
   MH> I have been taking advantage of the nice weather and did some   
   MH> riding.    
      
   Yep, would've been a nice weekend to go cruising on the   
   Harley.   
      
   Regards,
