Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. President.
I wanted to tell you, you wouldn't check it.
I find that I've got to be here tomorrow for an appointment, so I wouldn't be able to go today anyway.
Uh-huh.
So, uh, perhaps later, I mean, by this afternoon.
may get some weather.
And they're going, a weather report for the weekend.
I don't know whether I might be able to come down Friday, maybe.
You have any further deals this weekend?
Yes, I talked to them just a minute ago, and they expect the weak front possibly to come through Thursday, and then they think that Friday and Saturday, they say partly cloudy and warming, but
They project nights at 50 low and daytime of 70.
Sort of fairly cool, though, isn't it?
It's fairly cool, yes.
Yeah.
Fairly cool.
The whole weekend, huh?
Well, they say that, you know, they hedge their bets, of course.
Of course.
It could be warmer.
This is a low-pressure area that is moving.
Northeast, it could get out of the area altogether by Friday.
Right.
So it would be plus or minus.
And we might know by Friday.
You will definitely know.
I don't have to make a decision because I'll have to be here Thursday.
Yeah, you'll definitely know Friday morning.
I'll give you, when you're down there, and I'll give you a call Friday.
Now, you'll, if you'll tell Julie so that she'll know.
Okay.
And I'll be over, I'll come over and we'll have dinner there and then you all can go back today, huh?
Okay, as well.
Okay, bye.
