Wonder what Ellen has in store for Randy’s birthday today?

I was thinking the same thing.

Toppop, we all hope you have a TOP birthday.
You've been through a lot and now you can celebrate going
forward to new adventures. And a new tractor I think...????
oh that's it....Ellen will have something shiny in the driveway.
Corvette or Kubota. Either one. Life is good.

Of course nothing beats a big hug for the self admitted cute birthday boy.
This is the year Randy should drive Route 66 in a '66 something convertible.
Now that would be fun.

71 outside this AM, light rain earlier, more down pours this afternoon are expected. Heading to lower 80's. Really need a break in the weather.
Yesterday was interesting with all the water rescues. I think the local sheriff alerted over 20 roads closed in the county due to water. Made for some long trips home for a lot of people.
Managed to cut a patch of grass in the back late yesterday. I will not do that again due to the mosquitos. Need serious bug spray in the evening hours, but it was the only time it was "dry". Here it is August and I have drained my pool at least five or six times this summer. Normally I await the rains to have it at a good level. Not this year. And back to the grass..... having a hard time keeping up. I bagged an area around the pool because it was so high, that took 4 times as long as usual. I forgot how much green grass weighs as I hauled it to the compost pile. Yeah, almost done with this weather.

Prayers for all, good wishes for a safe and productive day.

Happy B-Day to Top..

Hope all are on the mends!

Thanks guys!
So far I got a big kiss and a 100’ expandable garden hose, more after breakfast I hear.

71 going to 86, and storms this afternoon.

We lucked out and got only a sprinkle yesterday so roasted coffee while waiting for the grass to mostly dry, then sneaked in a mow before the storms could catch me.

Randy, Happy Birthday! We know you are really only 39. Enjoy!

Good morning! Daisy says it 63˚ in Sun City, I did not believer her till I walked outside. It is too cold to bike, so I guess she is right. No wind, heading to 98˚ this afternoon.

Mostly, I do not have a heart monitor. I haven't really used one since I stopped running but I may need one for biking. Do you have one you use? Biking does not make my knee hurt and my HR is getting up there.

Happy Birthday Randy, hope 66 will be a great year for you.
Randy I was wondering about that expandable hose if you only need 25' do you still have to expand it to 100'?

The month long beginners spinning class is over and I enjoyed the twice a week group workouts.
I signed up for 30 group work out sessions. they are $3 each and includes about 10 different physical classes by an instructor. Boot Camp, core strengthening, spinning, . . .etc. These are maintenance classes not progressive classes so you can jump from class to class weekly and not fall behind. I plan on doing two a week.

There are many miles of hiking trails here in the neighborhood, I need to find out which club takes on the responsibility of trail maintenance, I kept all my hand tools (and snake boots) for that.

Poured second cup of coffee. 58ｰ with clear skies this morning. Heading to 84ｰ with possibility of thunderstorms in afternoon. Another .25" of rain yesterday evening. Cannot find a single brown spot in lawn. Grass will grow fast now. Need to make a dolly for tractor 3ph weight box. Since I got a flail mower, weight box is always in the way. Measuring and coming up with a design should keep me from doing heavy work with my arm. It is getting better after taking it easy for 3 day. Well at least the pain is a little less.

Trying to keep from doing heavy work yesterday. I decided to go to Xfinity/Comcast store and transfer our 2 phones over from AT&T. They have bring your own phone and get a $150 rebate. Got wife's phone moved over. But my iPhone is a AT&T GSM 7 plus that cannot be used on Xfinity Mobile. New iPhone 8 plus is on order. $300 rebate on that. Decided that the iPhone SE is way to small to see and use. Tried to trade it in for a iPhone 7 plus. But the sale is only for a 256 gb model that they did not have in stock. Can only be purchased in store to get a $300 rebate. Another trip back to Xfinity store Saturday. Getting older must be helping. My blood pressure used to sky rocket after these types of encounters. Plus the final rebates and buy backs total $1200. More than pays for the new iPhone 8 plus and buy out of the AT&T plan. New plan will be $40 per month. Including paying for a new iPhone 7 plus and taxes. I still wonder how they can offer these deals and stay in business. Same plan at AT&T was costing me $148 without paying for a phone. I am still a little paranoid after my dealing with AT&T over the years. It was always a guessing game what you were going to really pay until you got the first bill.

Don, 63ｰ is too cold for bike riding? :confused3:

Payers for those in need.

Good Morning All.
