Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! A warm morning at 77˚ heading to the high 90s. Thanks for all the well wishes for my wife. A year is a long time but one month is already gone. Next week she gets x-rayed to make sure everything is still in alignment.

Drew those paint fume are really brain damaging. I once had to interview a guy in the mental hospital who was a former paint fume inhaler. His mind was totally wasted and he could not answer any questions - what a waste and a burden on society.

Every time I spray paint I think of him and have it well ventilated. School kids need to visit a mental hospital and see what their future will be like after inhaling fumes.

Drew I was thinking of you neighborhood crash yesterday when we were having helicopter landing training last night with the surrounding VFDs. A helicopter from Bastrop came out for the drill. We wetted the landing area but still got sandblasted on landing and take off. A girl was riding her bike in the nearby park well out of the landing zone area but the wind from take off blew her off the trail. - Probably the most exciting thing for her to remember her 2015 summer vacation.

71 this morning and headed to 89 today. Lower humidity is forecast. Last night was still very heavy and thick. No rain till Monday.

Managed to get all the barns ready for the new sawdust. 2 trucks are here already and two more will be back about lunch. Takes a semi load per barn just to cover floors. These are open top box vans with a live floor. Very neat to watch unload. Today will be a spread and level day. Be lucky to get done today.

Good morning all. 76F this morning, calm wind and woke up to the sound of rain, and I don't remember rain in the forecast I guess I can put off working with the irrigation system for a couple of days. Will concentrate on window cleaning and power washing today and sneak a bike ride in when the rain dries up.

got all the mowing done, very nice day out.
Weather forecast for tomorrow keeps getting more interesting.
2.56 inches of rain forecast. I'd better get the turtles to high ground...
Problem is it could also be one inch of rain, which would be wonderful, or
four inches which would flood the place. The rain is so heavy at times and the land is so flat there is just no place
for the water to go.
When I pulled the trimming mower out of the barn two frogs jumped out from underneath, each going in opposite directions.
Better get to high ground guys.

Off to go food shopping. Have a meat loaf to make for my friday night guests. Meat loaf, mushroom gravy, home grown potatoes, and some green vegetable. And a home made triple chocolate cake with Hershey's dark chocolate frosting. With a scoop of Blue Bunny ice cream on the side. They won't leave hungry.

Need to make the meat loaf, the cake and some sweet corn raisin muffins. Less typing, more cooking...
The muffins are for breakfast and for them to take with them to Myrtle Beach. I found that they freeze nicely in a squeezed out ziploc bag.

I wonder if "time to get cracking" means cracking the eggs for breakfast...

Drew, I think it has something to do with draft animals, as in 'cracking a whip', but then I could be wrong.

I'm sure you're right Larro, I was just in a cooking mode...you know.

and for a hot menu update, my farmer neighbor called and part of his conversation was to tell me his Silverqueen corn was ready and come on over and pick some fresh. Well, you don't have to tell me twice on that... I'll go over early in the cool of the morning and pick some fat ears.

Drew -
Did one of your critters get away?
This has been guarding my driveway for two days.
sorry for the android photo flip.







but it takes too long to fix.

Well, I'd admit to a lazy morning as I haven't even looked at a piece of drywall, but not true. I've done math problems with Granddaughter. Listened to her read aloud, checking the dictionary, testing comprehension of the story, ordered her a pedometer to help with her fitness (she now walks with Grandma) and am almost ready to have her help me prepare early dinner. I'm ready for a nap!!!!!!

Drew, don't mess around. Top that triple chocolate cake with a chocolate Ganache.

Ganache
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
⅛ teaspoon salt

My FIL always wanted to know how eating a two pound box of chocolates could make him gain 10 pounds. :laughing:
