Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

It's been 10 miserably hot days since our last rain, so I was glad to be awakened at 4 a.m. this morning by tremendously loud thunder and plenty of very bright lightning. I got up, went into the kitchen, turned on the coffee maker, and we had another very loud clap of thunder . . . and the lights went out. Been a long time since I've seen anything that dark.:laughing: I started to feel my way to the living room where I knew there were flashlights and such, and the lights came back on.:cool2: 75 degrees this morning, going for a predicted high of 94, and we're still getting a light rain.

The news media says the electricity usage in north Texas has been very close to the maximum available the last few days. Hundred degree weather sure puts a strain on the system . . . and on our back accounts.:laughing:

Coffee is done brewing. 59° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 81° with partly cloudy skies. Dog grooming, nurse visit and house cleaning went well yesterday. Wife has a Dr. appointment today then cut lawn.

Randy, special prayers for you, Ellen and Dr's.

Buckeye, glad your recovery is moving in right direction. Prayers sent.

PJ, your wife did a great job on the picnic table.

Pryaers for all.

Good Morning All.

Roy, hope your Vertigo is only from BP meds.

Good morning! 79˚F heading to 99˚F quirk cloudy skies. Bird don't squeeze all the rain out of the clouds before you send them South. Sorry Kyle and Rick but will bw sending you dry clouds only.

Found some new recipes for eggplant, which is high in vitamin K and good for the heart. We can use it just as we use tomatoes by blending them or cutting them up small in soups, spaghetti, casseroles, etc. .

Bird, Rick, Kyle who will win the highest electric bill this month? Post kilowatt usage and $ for August.

Hope everything goes well for Randy today, it's got to be a stressful time for his family.

Roy, good move on turning around.

Good Morning. It's 78° with 96% humidity and forecast says 102° this afternoon and ..... maybe some rain, late afternoon. Yippee!

I need to finish trimming around the house and more window washing this morning. Found out last evening that we have guests coming this afternoon for a two day visit.

Thomas ...... I'm wondering if Boo Boo has installed his own game cams and is watching you?

Roy ... hope the doc can get this figured out.

BEF .... get ready! The plan to "spring you" is coming together! The Chinook Crew is ready to go.

Don's Sun City Rescue Helo will provide backup and cover for the primary crew.



Hoping to hear some news from Randy soon.


Hoping everyone has an excellent Hump Day.

Prayers to all.

Yes Rick, the model/ drone/plane and train club has plan “c” covered.

Our motto: "If your can think of it we have a club for it."


(BEF you did loose weight, right?)

I think my rain might be just about over; still getting a tiny sprinkle, but I found that my gauge has 1.5" in it.:dance1:

Bird, Rick, Kyle who will win the highest electric bill this month? Post kilowatt usage and $ for August.

My billing cycle ends in 2 days; forecast to be about 1600 KWH for $200. As of this morning, it's 1485 KWH for $187.

How .... it's done!

Pennsylvania National Guard pilot, in 2004, off the roof of a shack in Afghanistan.

Heard, more like felt, a Chinook approaching the house yesterday. It went over at about 100', on its way to the Chico airport, probably for fuel and fire retardant. Yep, National Guard on the job again, helping to make the country a better place. So much very dry fuel everywhere, several fires a day in the local news now.

I suspect it's been pretty close to max here, too, Bird. Three more days of near 100F on the way, too. Just got last month's electric bill, and it's a whopper:shocked: Not looking forward to the next three months, but what are ya gonna do?:confused3:

I did get through to a structural engineering firm to get their stamp and signature on the solar grid design yesterday. Should get some word on what that blessing will cost this week...
