Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

BEF, I'm beginning to believe you're related to our local weathermen the way you've changed your high report.

.

Hey, that extra .5° is critical to life as we know it. Don’t you follow those global climate nut jobs.

Sorry for your internet woes.

I’m not impressed with starlink customer service, there just isn’t any. No way to contact anyone. I’m trying to cancel my home system deposit since I got the RV version. Seems to be no way to cancel despite their claims. They say click the cancel link, only there’s no link there.

Morning all, nice and cool 71 with rain, going up to 88.
Got some work done yesterday outside but mostly just cleanup.
Lots of deer around, counted 8 this morning in the front yard.
Got to upload pic of Drew's gifted veggies in action.

Roy- sorry to hear the wife tripped and hope it's only a minor strain

Stay safe and be well,

Happy Anniversary popgadget.

there’s a fine line between imagination and eating the wrong mushrooms.

Wrong mushrooms????
About 40 years ago, I thought they were great!!!

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Rip, I figured you was getting a lot of rain yesterday, it went down below DC.

Roy, hope wife heals quickly.
I don’t care for any mushrooms, definitely not the wrong ones.

Wife had to recan 1 jar of beans that didn’t seal, and had enough beans for 2 more qts.

Good Morning!!!! 67F @ 4:30AM. Abundant sunshine. High 97F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
We'll be back in the hundreds for the weekend and next week.

Thought I'd open up the sliding doors and let some of the cool air in, but the neighbor's dog's barking is keeping me awake. Sounds like it's back on the A/C if I want to catch any more beauty rest.

I got the same run around from HughesNet when I complained about slow speeds, Billy. They said my modem was obsolete, and wanted to sell me a new one. And start a new 24 month contract, too. Instead, Starlink finally delivered a dish, and I changed HughesNet to a minimum data plan to use as a backup if Starlink, like every other internet plan I've ever used, also got the low speed blues.

Got cable pulled in another 400' of conduit yesterday. Would have been 500', but I forgot to put a coupler on and had to pull the wire back out of one section. Might finish pulling wire today if I can get an early enough start.

A house fire while I was in Chico yesterday almost shut down the freeway because of the smoke. Thankfully, most people had sense enough to slow down and get safely through. I read later that it was an attic fire, but no cause was given.

Seems like we get word of yet another wildfire almost every day now. The latest is another lightning complex of six fires northwest of here. So far there's been no smoke drifting this way, and I hope it stays that way.

Oh...they were happy 'shrooms!!

I like grilled Portobello mushrooms...not much of a meat eater, so grilled Portobello 'shrooms are a great substitute for a hamburger

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

These delicious grilled portobello mushrooms are brushed with a tasty marinade of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic.

Wrong mushrooms????
About 40 years ago, I thought they were great!!!

something I never tried, always was curious about
now that I'm retired, no worries about drug tests, but still, no access to them.
Though I guess everything is available online. I figured when I took my rv out West I could find some medicinal mushrooms.
Never made that trip. I did know I wouldn't be planning on driving for several days.
Didn't want to deal with pink moose.

really important that folks drive sober. What they do at home, in their woods, is their business.

I wonder if Don sees anyone under the influence driving golf carts, speeding.
Now we have a job for Bird. Give him a fast cart and a badge and he can give out speeding tickets on the community straightaway.
No worries from me, mine is slow, but fast enough to create a breeze with the front window half way down.
Geez, I could get a ticket for doing 8 in a 6mph zone though... I'll have some Entemann donuts ready for Bird.

friends in Tampa say there are races at times between little old ladies cackling at each other, pedal to the metal.
They bought a faster street worthy cart to catch up. Not my imagination...
For about two grand dealer will increase voltage and power on my cart, number of heavier parts needed.
have no need now, but nice to know several ways to modify. Including different rear diff gear ratio.
if I ever move from here to a retirement community, I'll be ready.

grilled large portabellas by themself or on a veggie burger are really yummy.

Good Morning
It’s 70 with a forecast high of 90 and no rain. Got just under 1/10” overnight.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes, it hard to believe that we are in our 49th year already. We had a nice lunch yesterday at a local inn.

I still managed to putter around a bit, out of curiosity, I measured the current draw of the new heat pump, because it’s variable speed compressor and fans, I checked with the thermostat set 1 degree below the room temp, and again with it set 10 degrees lower. That let me see the difference in load between min and max capacity.

I’m impressed with the results, this is for a 24,000 btu unit, running on 240 volts.

Today will be an easy day, have some meetings for the airport authority that I’m going to try and work around a visit to Drew’s, and then just some more puttering around here. Trying to decide if I should mow, the grass isn’t really that high, but it looks a bit ragged. I’m guessing it’s probably better for the grass to leave it alone until we get some rain. What do you guys think?

Leave the lawn alone...give it a few more days
Have fun at Drew's place!

Good morning! 77˚F heading to only the low 90s, I don't think so, we will see. Yesterday it was 99 until late afternoon when clouds and wind dropped the temps to 91˚, not a drop of rain.

The Portobello's recipe looked good except for the added oil. Almost got a thumbs up. Of course it could be made without the oil, we make many recipes that call for the extra fat but just omit it and they taste fine. Never need extra fat calories, well, can't say never, you can use the extra calories if you are way below your BMI, but then you probably have other major problems.

With silicon pads, baking, parchment paper, and ceramic pans we do not have a sticking problem.

I went online to renewal my state vehicle registration yesterday and was surprised that they wanted me to renew my DL also which expires NEXT year. I went ahead and did that and then continued to the renewal and was surprised again that they had my vehicle insurance and inspection on file and did not have to submit anything but payment. They have really made it nice not having to mail it in or wait in line.

There are a number of recipes for grilled Portobello 'shrooms on line...
Best thing is they're low in calories and other negative aspects of ground beef
For me, after my 1999 stroke I lost my taste for meat. I do eat meat occasionally but not too often

I wonder if Don sees anyone under the influence driving golf carts, speeding.

I have not. However there are golf carts that I do not have to pass because they are doing the 35 MPH speed limit in the neighborhood.

Last weekend there was a major accident involving a car and a golf cart on one of our major streets. They are still looking for the car, it took off after hitting the golf cart. The lady on the golf cart is in serious condition. Everyone in the neighborhood was sent an e-mail as they are looking for a witness to the accident.

There is not much incentive for getting a golf cart in the summer as folding down the front windshield for a breeze is just getting hot air in your face. Coming back from the gardens I am glad I have cool A/C in the truck. I have another batch of okra to air fry - my late summer favorite snack. I found out if the okra gets over 6" long it is too fibrous to cut easy and eat, only 1 to 2 day old okra can be used for air frying, 2" -5".

I had to make appointment for DL renewal, take in all kinds of documents to prove I’m legal and I live in MD. These same people have my vehicle registration and insurance info, Yet I have to show them.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 62°, going up to mid 80's. I'll take these temps in August . Hopefully a light shower will occur, not a gully washer. I am thankful for the rain we did get!

HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARY! To PopG. The big 50 is approaching! Congrats

Roy, sorry to hear that the wife fell again. Hope it is just a minor sprain.

We are lucky here, renewals of DL and Reg. can be done online, including any address changes. Don't have to provide any info unless a new registration. just make your payment and it's good.... 10 days later, documents come in the mail.

Headed down to the junkyard today, there is a compatible vehicle to get some body parts off of.... if it's still in one piece. No way to check unless drive the 50 miles there..... The son is going with me, so he gets to do the hard work.

Everyone have a great day!

I dearly love portobello mushrooms just do not get them enough

 

[sodamo]

69°F and .43 inches rain. Think the sun trying to peak thru.

Sophie got off last night and currently in the United Club at LAX. 5 hour layover between flights.

The boys survived the night. Makani recognized Sophie’s voice when she called earlier.

My roof guys plans to be here this morning wx permitting. He has been nursing a pulled muscle. Not good for ladder and roof work.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I’ll 2nd that

 

[daugen]

and it was fun.
Reminds me of a larger, heavier Honda Ridgeline with a huge amount of power. As in 835hp.
Very quiet, excellent soft ride on bad country roads and when we stopped and he floored it, well
it was cheek flapping as expected. Simply flung forward with no noise. Well, a bit of a whine.
Nice frunk, pass through storage like in an rv. He paid 77K for it and has already been offered 115k.
