Good Morning!!!! 77F @ 6:00AM. Sunny. High near 100F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.
Don, those fancy bike shoes need fancy pedals to go with them...
You could always just let the wife open that big box, letting her think it was for her birthday, Eric. The look of disappointment on her face might be a bit hard to take, but the surprise, joy, and relief she’ll experience as you whip out her real gift from behind your back will be priceless. Have your camera ready.:laughing:
Power went off yesterday at about 5:30PM, and sure enough, there was smoke in the sky to the south. Two small fires, about 1/2 acre each, at the marina about a mile from here. A water bomber circled for about half an hour but didn’t drop, hand crews had it under control after a very quick response. That makes two fires from the same park this year.

The house was getting warmer and warmer without the A/C, so after a dinner cooked out on the BBQ I slipped into some swim trunks and gave myself a quick dousing from the shower head on the back patio. Instant relief! For some reason I still had cell service this time, so texted the neighbor to make sure he was OK and called an old friend to see how he was doing. His wife answered, explaining that he was napping after an endoscopy procedure. I suggested that now was a perfect time for her to trade up to a new car, as he’ll have no memory of anything happening that evening.:laughing: Power came back on shortly before 9PM, the delay leading to one more soaking to keep cool. Plenty of time to take in a movie, and I enjoyed watching Charlie Heston again in the original Planet Of The Apes.
Hope everyone enjoys an uneventful Tuesday...
