Good morning!!!!

IIRC, your local VFW or other veterans groups will of dispose of old flags properly

Our scouts do it for the American legion. They just did it last week.

back home from church and lunch with relatives. They cooked those garlic scapes they had showed me and boy
were they yummy. Consistency of a firm green bean, and moderately garlicky, not super strong. You could eat them in your fingers
like veggie chips. Don, highly recommend for your group.

beautiful day out, if my hands weren't so puffy I'd go wash the car but chilling out would be smarter.
I have a free car wash coupon and need to drive to Dublin tomorrow anyway to get part for golf cart. There was supposed to be a hand pump for the battery
water system, need one so I can top off batteries.

my late wife used to love putting out little flags on holidays. But after a few years they got pretty worn and next I saw new ones, the little baby ones, and the old ones in the trash can.
I don't care how small they are, they shouldn't go in the trash, so I started pulling them out. Which then got me questioned, why, worn out cheap Chinese stuff, but I explained no matter where it is was made, the flag has symbolic value. It's supposed to stand for our most cherished values. I admit that got me only a shrug, and I took the dozen or so stick flags into a bag and gave them to a guy in the fire company who knew someone, etc.

Toppop, eat all your dinner and stop ogling that cute nurse.
Well, actually, when your wife isn't there, ogle away. I was told it was good for you.

Could have been close last night with 80 firefighters battling blaze at Urban Wildlands interface...

Had wind be a factor it would not have been a grass and scrub fire.

75° Happy fathers Day.

Had a rack of ribs for lunch.
Got back yesterday just in time to get to the pig roast. It was good.
Did help put some firewood in Dads basement before leaving

There was a fire that started Friday afternoon in an area that we call "the canyon". Basically is a canyon that I-40 and the frontage road goes through the Sandia Mountains. The whole area is giant bus sized boulders, rocks, and some sparse scrub bushes / grass. Ended up jumping to both sides of the freeway. They had to close both roads for around 6 hours.

This is the only access through the mountains unless you travel about 2 hours out of the way to the north or south. There were a lot of unhappy residents that lived just a few minutes on the other side......

They still haven't found the cause. There were 2 houses lost.

Rain finally stopped this morning..... another .25" in the gauge. A couple of storms looming on the horizon, so probably more for the day will end up in gauge. We really needed this.

Tomorrow has even a better chance of rain than today. Even the next 5 days have the T-storm icons posted. I like it ! Hopefully it will continue for the whole monsoon season.

Still working on the blueprint/ estimate...... when I'm not interrupted by posting on TBN..... Hard not to.....

David, I used to stock pile any wood scrap that was 6" or greater.... only problem was that I continually made more scrap.....

I finally gave in and got rid of 2 trailer loads that filled a 4x8x4' high trailer. Never missed those smaller scraps. Now I only keep pieces that are bigger than 12", most are 16"+. I am finding that I now use more of the scraps and the stack is very manageable.

Now if I can stop collecting every piece of metal that I come across......

Not limited to being in the hospital!! It's like "an ogle a day keeps the doctor away!!"...unless your wife catches you...than you might need that doctor!!!

LS, was the fire near the musical road?
