Good morning. Another hot day down south. The AC systems now run incessantly. Had an eventful weekend. My cousin came in for a visit. Lots of food and fishing. My friend gave me a couple wild pigs. There are few things more American macho than barbecuing a wild pig on the weekend of the Fourth...

Hot and dry today according to weather forecast. Short 8 hr workday instead of the usual 10. I'm glad. Tried to mow last night and got my mower stuck in the mud. Gotta pull it out this afternoon. Finally convinced someone near and dear to me to start taking care of her health. I'm going to do...

Been raining all day today. I doubt that the temperature will get past 90 deg F so that is the silver lining. My shop is a mess. I can never chide anyone on the condition of their garage or shop.

Wet and warm down south. Temp is the 90's. Rain is also in the forecast. Spent the weekend in Florida with my siblings celebrating my dad's 90th birthday. While we had a great time, it saddens me to see my father's deteriorating health even with the best of care we can give him. Came home to...

Good morning. Hot and humid down here. High will be 94 deg F. We are watching the tropical disturbance down south. Hopefully it won't cause problems this weekend. We plan to be celebrating my dad's 90th birthday and don't want to turn that into a hurricane party. I've tried to plant chestnuts...

Good morning. Warm and dry for the next couple days down here. Spent the weekend in Austin to celebrate my cousin's birthday. She has terminal cancer and we made a big deal of the birthday celebration to cheer her up. Seeing her smiles made the 10 hrs round trip drive worth while.

Nice looking place. I'm sure you'll make it beautiful soon.

79 going to 91. Spent some time this morning watching an egret stalking the fish and a gator stalking the egret. The gator took too long and I had to go to work so I didn't see the end. Still something was going into the stomach of something else for sure. Rain all around me in the past few...

I hope things turn out good for your son and his family.

Partly cloudy 76 going to 91 F today. Upstairs AC still not fixed. Received the new Thermal Expansion Valve yesterday. Will have it put in soon. Meanwhile every afternoon I have to climb up to the attic, put my butane torch I normally use for Creme Brulee on the bulb to trick the valve to open...

Hi. Hot humid down here. Some body kicks me. I need some incentive to move and do something. This time of the year keeping up with the grass is about all I can do. David, I pray that the volcano goes back to sleep for y'all.

I love where I am but I know some day we will move to wherever the grand babies live.

Good morning. Hot today. Temperature will be in the 90's It's hard to go back to work after a 10 day vacation!

Also tell them when they weld up the copper pipe, they must make sure the pressure bulb for the Thermal Expansion Valve (TEV) won't see any heat. If the weld is any where close, they must make sure the bulb does not touch the copper pipe. If they don't the bulb may get too hot and pressure up...
