It looks like after years of construction, the big 787 construction project is coming to an end. It feels like it’s been going on for decades. 

With the light rain, I don’t know if I’ll be able to go to the park tonight, as everything is bound to be wet. I’ll see what happens. 

The Friday express bus was 15 minutes late. We are now making good time heading home as there is no traffic on the road, except for a brief slow down for a tire changer. I expect to only be ten minutes late at home. 

Gas is now down to $2.20 a gallon at Glenmont Stewart’s, a price I never thought I would see again. Eventually, gas prices will go back up. 

Going to be a quiet, relaxed weekend I hope. I did bring home some stuff from work to do. That’s good, because I’m tired from traveling all over.
