Believe me, I watch the weather very closely for Toby.  It didn’t seem bad early AM, and nothing seemed threatening.  By 07:00/7AM there was a downpour!  My hope was that Toby made his way into the shed.  3. I just can’t do anything to satisfy this lead-man.   When he says, “You’re doing it all wrong”, what he really means is, “You’re not doing it like I do it” …the fuck!
Lunch @ work since all forms of bad weather were gone.
PM work wasn’t horrible; loaned out again across the street.  At least it wasn’t 100F.
