The day starts out cold and breezy (its a lot worse than that) but it is a day back with a lot of people I really spent more time with than I spent with my family. These were the people form the late 1950′s through the 1980′s. This morning was the monthly breakfast of the SCS-Sabre retirement group from American Airline Data Processing Group. 35 “people” or more were in attendance.  I forgot to take my camera again as I was running late. Maybe next month.

Its nice to see these “people” again but they are really looking old. Maybe they need to get more sleep.

After all the talk by the “Weather Guys” we had wind, a little freezing drizzle and 1.5 inches of rain over the last two days. The sun has just come out and the temperature is up to 50 degrees. No flooding or ice around. From what Jim and Jane have has said Topeka has had ice, snow and rain.

Finally yesterday, the tree people showed up to clean-up the trees and to get rid of all the extra “tree trash” not previously picked up by the city. Now we are ready for spring and the leafing out of the trees to see what might be left. We still have gutter and fence damage to get repaired. Plus the gutters are over 20 years old, so we may have to take down all the gutter. This would allow for some repair of some of the wood backing plus allow for painting which really needs to be done. Lot of work around the homestead.

The weather this early February has been unbelievable. The 3rd it got up to 75 to be followed the next day by 81. The 81 was a record for the date beating the 76 set in 1962. But things are to get back to normal on the 6st with rain and maybe snow over night today.
