Time to hunker down.

Rain will F'up the week's outdoor activities, including racing.

My boss wants to open ONLY b/c the competition is opening (i.e. discount, pepboys, advanced) I told him a regular afternoon storm was blowing me car sideways on 17-92 last week, there was no way I was going to risk it, let alone let anything fly into my car! He understood (and likes my car a lot) so he was ok w/ it lol

I got to leave early today and will have tomorrow off. But i did notice that the weather isn't as bad as they said it would be. So i have turned off my cell phone so i wont recieve any calls to come into work. I'll enjoy my day by waking up late and having lunch and drinking $5 pitchers at the Doral Ale house. WOHOOO!

ofcourse hillsborough is open,. there is nothing but a barely drissling day out there. all these idiots on the news trying to make it look like it was a bad storm. maybe down south, but near tampa/sarasota, it was a joke.

i am glad it was though!
