Good morning!!!!

Don, you must be a lifelong Texan. What you are describing is often thought of as the Deep South...
For us Northerners, the South is pretty much Virginia and down.

60 percent chance of thunderstorms just turned into a flood warning, lightning, thunder, and up to 2.5 inches of rain predicted.
You just never know here...

Paul, sorry for loss of your friend. Sad. I can honestly say I've never known anyone who has been murdered, hope not to...

The Deep South doesn’t include Texas though.

Perhaps we can say the South starts when folks start eating grits regularly...?

have been waiting almost two hours after appt time for doc to call, sure not scheduling any more phone visits with her...

Watched the tubes, did various adjustments on the carb, new plug, still no go. Since it started briefly with the sea foam I know the on off switch is working.

You probably know that Sea Foam is not very combustible compared to fuel, so too much will stall an engine, I’d spray some carb cleaner in it for giggles.

80F and partly cloudy @ 12:00, WU calling for a high of 87F for the day ... WB says 85F.

No derecho action here ... thankfully it petered out before it got here ... :thumbsup:

First order of business for the day is to retrieve the recycle can from up at the road. After that will be to grease pto shaft on MMM and then remove loader and install MMM so The Woman (?) can start mowing.

Then I'll start on something or another ... no shortage of possibilities.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day.

I don't know how the rest of you cope with the heat, but I've hated hot weather all my life. And as I'm getting older . . . well, it gets worse. 82 degrees this morning, going for a high of 99 and clear skies. Now I've reached an age, or stage of life, that I don't get around too well when I first get up in the morning. So after the first cup of coffee, I have a set of exercises that I go through every morning for about 30 minutes. For some reason, I just didn't feel like doing those exercises this morning, but I forced myself and did them all. Then I decided I'd at least clean the dust off the patio/deck before it got too hot. When I finished that, I decided I'd do the string trimming on the yard and be ready to mow in the morning. So I used the string trimmer in front and back yards, then got the blower to clear off the driveway and walk. When I finished that, I put the batteries from both string trimmer and leaf blower on the chargers. But then I noticed we had a light southerly breeze and no dew on the grass so I decided I might as well get the mowing done, and I did.

So I started off intending to do nothing today, but got more done that I ever expected.:laughing:

I can appreciate that feeling about the heat, then start adding humidity to it and it really gets to me,
my nephew called yesterday to see if I would rake hay it was going to be in the upper 80's with high humidity,
told him I could but that I'd have to bring my tractor over with the cab and AC they had to unhook the 4020 Deere from the double rake setup for me to use the Branson on it.
8 hours later I was still in good shape would not have been on the open station.

Sure does sound like you're talking about me.:laughing: My wife & I have been living in this same house 15 years now; the longest I've ever lived in one place. In 12 years of school, I changed schools 11 times, went to 3 schools twice (moved away, moved back). College wasn't quite as bad.:laughing: Used to work rotating shifts, so finding classes that fit my work schedule was a bit difficult, so I got college credits from at least 7 colleges before getting my bachelor's degree.

And look how great you came out
