Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

Heading to 88, but 72 now and heavy dew again. I usually time my trip to the gym and to run errands in the morning while the dew dries, but that puts me in the fields, woods or yard during the hottest part of the day.

Yesterday's 92 wasn't too bad since the humidity dropped, and only got damp, not sopping from sweat, while bush hogging two fields. Had the pleasure, and entertainment for about 2 hours of dozens of purple martins and barn swallows diving and swooping around me, to snatch the thousands of leaf hoppers, grass hoppers and other insects fleeing the attack of my Woods 72" cutter. It seems to always start with one or two birds, and then I guess they go get their friends, because it turns into a synchronized acrobatic feeding frenzy. This is one of the reasons I like the open cab on my tractor; however, the main reason is because I don't have a cab.

59 right now..feels bit cooler, actually. Forecast is a high of 80 and a 60% chance of thunderstorms or rain.
All the mowing was done yesterday...well, I could finish the field. I brought some work home that I need to have by Monday.
I guess that's about it...if time allows, and the heat isn't as oppressive as yesterday, might put another 100 rounds through the .22's

Good morning all. Has to be better than how I ended up yesterday.
Who would think I would have plowed into a bear...
Pitch black country road coming home from dinner, never saw it, dark instead of tan like a deer, low, big, and what a huge crash. Came out of a low ditch near the road, invisible. Hit hard enough to bend both tow hooks back, but did not break grill luckily.
One thousand dollar deductible. Expensive dinner....sigh.

First cup of coffee has been poured. 61° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 73° with chance of late afternoon rain. Got .1" of rain yesterday. Cut all the lawn for first ime since June. Visit to sons was for them to show off their new camper trailer. Nice Popup. We were also suppose to take a trip to his local gun range for me to try out my new gun. A Ruger LC9s. But rain moved in at his place early. Canceling that part of trip. Instead we sat at his kitchen table dissembling and cleaning guns. Grand kids took over my gun and showed me how to do this better and faster than I will ever be able to. Both have taken classes on how to shoot and handle guns. 12 and 14 years old. I did get to show how well a UpLula Magazine Loader/Unloader works. My CPL class will be done without me ever firing my gun before. Unless I get time to go to local state gun range this week.
Wngsprd, had a bunch of swallows around me when I cut back lawn. Been a couple of months since they been able to do that.
Eric, my guess if we could take all the guns away from criminals we would not have a gun problem in the USA. I think we should come up with a new law for that. :mur:
Drew, going to be more damage than you think. If tow hooks got bent back. Did the bear walk away?
Good Morning All.

Did the bear walk away?

could not find him/her. Maybe back down in the ditch
Need to pop hood shortly and make sure various radiators and other sensitive stuff not damaged.
I'm surprised the airbag didn't go off actually.
What is most annoying is I now have a suspension fault code on the car, it's going into the shop on Tuesday likely for all week, and now
my reliable vehicle likely can't be driven. Will see after I pull off that air dam.

Just as well you hadn't taken the Jag

that's exactly what I thought Jim!
that all aluminum body would have been wrecked; might have totalled the car.
Was very happy to see no leaks under truck this morning.
I could never have driven the car home...
