  I have to cancel tomorrow's paint-out that I had scheduled for Crystal Springs. We had a water emergency in our condo and will be drying and taking up flooring, bummer. So, paint where you like. Thursday's paint-out at Mill Pond Park , 1885 NW Mill Ridge, is still on. Forecast is cloudy with a chance of rain. So, if the weather on Thursday is cloudy, I will see you there. If the weather Thursday is raining straight down, use your judgment. I am thrilled at the prospect of the rain we so need. See you all Thursday, August 31. I hope. Brooks
