68°F and dense fog this morning, going up to 89° today. This will be our only mild day this week, as the rest will be 95-100°.
Mowing plans went by the wayside Saturday morning when The Wife decided she wanted to take a trip over to St. Charles MO to hit up a few places to look for better seat options for our kayaks. We started the morning by picking up her brother in Granite City and having brunch at Denny's. I was a bit disappointed. Service was extremely slow, as they only had two servers, and they were out of all kinds of supplies. We made the best of it, though. It is what it is. We dropped her brother off back at home and headed west. We walked through Cabela's first, and didn't find much suitable for our needs. I think we spent more time ogling the gun stuff. We then hit Bass Pro Shop, and came very close to just buying new kayaks, as they had some on sale. We refrained, though, and eventually found some adjustable back seat pads to try. They were on sale, too, at 40% off. We walked through a place called West Marine just across the parking lot from BPS, then called it a day. It was in the upper 90s, so we conserved energy the rest of the day once we got back home.
Sunday was a rain out day ... or at least it was supposed to be. I think we ended up getting a grand total of about 1/4" all day. We really needed some good rain, and we only got that for about 15 minutes. The rest of the day was just nuisance drizzle. Ground is still hard as a rock.
No more activity over at the motel, Kyle. It's all boarded up with a barricade across the entrance, and they set up one of those temporary video systems in front of our building. The gas station is open again, for now, but there is a police officer parked at one end of the lot watching them pretty much all day.
Seems like it wasn't too long ago that Larro popped in here for an update, Chris. However, the search function tells me it was almost three years ago.
Good morning, gents.
