Thursday evening they're talking about rain late Friday and for most of Saturday with an inch to an inch-and-a-half possible.

That much water will wash me out of there. Wet and miserable is not my cup of tea for Belmont Park.

now we've gone from potential thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday to a partly sunny day Friday and scattered storms for Saturday. At this rate we should be preparing for a heat wave with the amount of amended forecasts we've had over the last 48 to 72 hours.

Happily, the pension check landed today so now all I need is some cooperation with the weather. I'd hate to bathe, shave, and put on clean underwear for nothing.

If your check landed, you should go to the track.

I will not be on "your rail" if it is raining, or if its horribly chilly. I've come to the rail enough on cold days. I'll be upstairs, more than likely, same place I was today. It was warmer there.

If you're at the rail, I'll be by to see you.

I didn't even know you were in New York, DG. If the graded turf races are over a bog and the the other turf races are on dirt and if it's raining, I too will be watching the races inside - inside my house at the downstairs saloon.

I haven't heard from KPMats10 yet so this deal is still up in the air.

I'm in rain or shine. However I suggest going to the perch on the third floor. Didn't know Ms Grits was in town and Samyn is also planning on showing up on the upper level tomorrow. That spot was golden for us last year

KP, yesterday, when I got chilly outside--it was warm inside away from the wind.

12:30 first post today.
