Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

Currently under a Lightning Alert ... pop-up thunderstorms throughout the area here too.

Got mower installed and did a little mowing. Noticed engine was running warmer than usual so came back to the house to scope that out. Mouse nest on top of battery which we cleaned off. That was when the TS action started.

Sitting here enjoying the cool breeze right now, waiting for the storms to pass.

Hamburgers from the grill along with potato salad later twin stick popsicle waiting for darkness while setting on the deck should about do it for today.

Enjoy the day all.

Mostly, here is a pic of the pedals.


My bike is going to a new home. Lots of memories on racing in triathlons and training rides competing against my late brother.

Ron, your morning bird pic looks like Gray2 got hold of it.

Knocked off mowing around 20:45, came in and had a big plate of spaghetti and a couple of pieces of garlic toast ... :thumbsup:

Got pretty much all of the front edges (upper and lower) mowed down, no more 3' tall grass. Still have to mow all around the house though.

Been having intermittent thunder, rain just started (@ 21:40) ... looks like the worst of it will go around us, we should get a bit of light, steady rain which we can use.

WB says the forecast for tomorrow is a high of 78F with 70% chance of thunderstorms, so I don't know that I'll get much done tomorrow outside on the lawn.

That's ok - there's certainly no shortage of things to do inside ...

David,

Glad you guys made it home ok.

Wishing Sophie success and a quick recovery ... :thumbsup:

Floor looks nice Ted, ready for action.

It does ... :thumbsup:

RS, I miss the splined shaft too, always buried way down there, hard to see on mower. Well, no longer I guess...

At least for the moment anyways ... just keep putting that future there ...

Definitely a little quieter when I remember to get grease in there. Hope the BLT's were good.

They were fantastic - I never tire of them. Slap a little Hellman's Real Mayo on 'em and I'm in something approaching Taste Bud Heaven ...

... drinking some "ginger aid" my sister sent me, little under the weather.

Hope you feel better soon.

Kyle, your daughter is someone to be proud of!

Mid 80s and humid, big pop up storms all around and they all missed us, still dry as powder here.

Picked up Walmart order, went to church, visited FIL, got a visit from daughter’s family and gift certificate to my favorite New Orleans style BBQ place. I was hoping for rain before mowing but looks like it ain’t happening. Have a good evening folks.

Hang tight top - we should have something coming your way in the next 24 - 36 hours ... :thumbsup:

I have jokingly told the wifey we are going to take a road trip to Menards when we are pricing materials for our projects. They have unbelievable prices on things compared to our stores out here! Along with Rural King. They have good prices too.

The closest Menards to us is in Kansas, only 421 miles away .... the closest Rural King is in Missouri ... only 865 miles away

By the time I pay for fuel, I would break even... the thought of a nice road trip is nice though...

Menard's has a great operation ... I don't have too many real complaints with them. Good pricing and a great selection at the two stores close to us that I frequent.

Glad they (recently) came to our area - hopefully you'll get some nearer to you as they build out their operation.

Home Depot and Lowes certainly both needed the competition.

Only one RK near to us that I know of. Prices are good, and a good selection ... but the store could use a make-over.
