Our local angle on the Great Gorilla escape

Are you OK? Haven't seen a post for a few days.
My boat is being painted (one side) and the new decals will be put on ($600.00 worth) and it should be good to go. My first trip will be idling up the shore about 10 miles to one of the resorts looking at the high water affects. Still some debris floating downstream. More shows up after a windy day or evening.
Went down to check out the shack and drag the driveway to keep the weeds from taking over. Our propane tank (250 lb) was empty. It was almost full last time we stayed in November. Now I have to convince the propane company the problem was their regulator since it is their tank.
As Ruth Buzzy used to say, "It's Always Something"!
Post something so I know you are OK.

We're just fine, Wayne. Thank you for your concern. Glad to hear things are getting back to normal (whatever that is) Up North. Spent the morning in Mankato playing golf with Steve. Got back this afternoon in time for a nice chat with my mother and then a visit with a classmate from High School (Jeanne Pearson). Just got back and heard the following report on the news. I will fill you in later on other stuff. There's a tarmac party going on right now with the neighbors I want to attend.

(DATELINE, St. Paul) Three gorillas escaped their cage at Como Zoo today. Two were immediately recaptured without incident. However, according to reports, the "smart one," a 450-pounder named VIRGIL, got into the "enrichment closet" and had some crazy fun during his excellent day off, before finally turning himself in to zoo officials.
You the man, bro.
