Hope you all are enjoying a day of rest today!  Here in the Tennessee/Kentucky area, we are receiving some very badly needed rain :).  A heads-up that the current T-Shirt contest ends TONIGHT, Monday September 5th, at 12:00 midnight.  The winner will be chosen by a random-number generator (my wife will be asked to pick a number) and announced tomorrow morning, and then ... tomorrow will begin a brand-new contest.  How totally awesome is that?  Okay, now I think I'm gonna find me a nice comfy spot on the couch and do a little labor-day napping while the rain beats...
