Hello everyone!

It's a bit slow today at work, so I thought I might jump on here and say "hey!" Not much has been going on lately. I am now pulling day shifts from 8:00am to 4:00pm - the first I've worked day shifts in some time. It's nice for a change of pace. And it is definitely nice having evenings to myself. Now, I just need to meet "someone" to go out with, right? *grin*

Anyhow, I'm in the middle of the 2:00pm Indiana forecast here. Since there's hardly a cloud in the sky over Indiana and there doesn't appear to be any type of precipitation at all in the forecast for the next 24 hours, it's been fairly simple. Three hours to do a forecast is plenty when you don't have many grids to draw in. I think I drew in maybe 10 grid frames through the entire forecast... Mostly for high clouds late in the period (tomorrow afternoon). Otherwise, there's hardly anything going on there. All I have to do the rest of the afternoon, really is to keep an eye on Kansas and Nebraska, where there is precip and yes, plenty of clouds to worry about! That'll keep me busy, for a little while, updating the forecast each hour for the 511 (travel weather) services.

Hopefully, everyone else is doing well... Oh, and if you're out there reading this -- I want to thank those of you that sent me cards or money for my birthday! I was very much appreciated. If you sent me money, just so you know, you bought me a nice vacuum for my birthday! :) I haven't used it yet, but it's a Dirt Devil bagless with all the attachments...! It's kinda neat that I'm actually buying these things for myself. I feel like I really am living out on my own now... Haha!

Well, it's getting about time for me to finish off my Indiana forecast here! I need to go through the sites to do my hourly temperature and wind forecasts, of course.

Hey, take care and hope everyone's weekend is going well!
Have fun...
