Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

70F now mid 90's for high half way thru heat wave 3 more days.

Just can't get interested even in puttering after work during this hot spell.
E muffin feed little critters and slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

Drew, so you weren't tempted by Pender's pudding ?
There is no better place than Good morning to stimulate the mind in unexpected directions, I certainly didn't expect to be asking Google "how much does a pig's spleen weigh" while eating breakfast. (Some answers here Spleens)

No, I wasn't tempted for sure, and when I mistakenly ate some blood pudding sitting purply on the side of my plate, and then asked what it was,
well my trip to London almost had me gagging. How could such a smart country have such awful food? (as we discuss this heart stopping pork glop)
All those bangers, hoping to grow up to be
Penders Pudding. Deep fried fish and chips everywhere. Seemed like the whole country ate nothing but bar food. Shepherds Pie full of mystery meat
and an off odor. Versus going to France where you want to say "would you get on with it and bring me some real food?"...plate looks pretty while you starve to death.
of course the world probably thinks we in the US live on McDonalds and pizza and tacos.

Time for a banana and yogurt.

Today is distribution day for the food pantry and I'm going to pack a dozen quart baggies
of the remaining blue potatoes for the volunteers, let them go home
and make red white and blue potato salad this year.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 63° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 90° with partly cloudy skies. Yesterdays visit with Aunt and Uncle was good as always. Plans for today are prep and visit to doctor for another test.

Ed, I am always looking for projects. Found one yesterday. Need a upper adjustable stop for 3PH on tractor. When using fail mower and raising up 3PH. Plastic sleeve on PTO shaft start making clattering noise. Now that I need it. I have to decide what to make it out of. Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum or HDPE plastic. Plastic may win. It's as tough as aluminum and easy to machine.

Drew, somebody is going to get a very nice car.

Framer, best wish for full recovery from your surgery. In 2009 I had the same surgery. Best thing that happened to me. For over 20 years I had what appeared to be Flu couple times or more a year. After surgery no more flu attacks or indigestion problems.

Don, new bike is would be almost like a new car.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

Good morning!

102 yesterday, they say 92 or do today, hope it’s cooler on the cruise to Tangier, I hate to sit in the cabin in the a/c for the trip.

Prayers for all, Buppies, watch that sun!

Have fun Randy, those crab cakes should be awesome...
pics of food and fish please

Tangiers is an island fishing community in the lower Chesapeake Bay, slowly fading away, though I think the tourists help.

Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 5:15AM. Sunny. High near 90F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

The southerly winds have picked up the smoke from the wildfires, turning the view murkey and getting my nose running. Might end up having to keep the doors and windows shut, even in this cool morning air.

The low was 45* this morning, it made it up to 85* yesterday and party cloudy in the afternoon. Looks like today is going to be about the same, maybe a little warmer.

Going into town this morning for wife's therapy and do some shopping. Not sure what I'll do the rest of the day.

Hope everyone is ready for the holiday.
CWB.

Was 75 earlier when I went out...cooler today, only 96 rather than yesterday's 99.

Got started before sunrise on shoveling the gravel I picked up yesterday at the quarry into the FEL and taking back to cover the top of the trench. All done on French Drain #2. Plan to do one more.

Two of my sons urged my wife and I to watch a series, "Westworld." We did a marathon yesterday afternoon, and finished season #1. Weird, but interesting story, and beautiful Utah scenery. We'll probably start season 2 this afternoon since it will get too hot to do much outside.

So, spleen and liver makes pudding? I'd rather have bananas in mine .

PJ, your storm sounds pretty scary.

Randy, hope there is a good breeze on Tangier Island...it will be scorching otherwise.

Used to work with a big guy. 6’4” about 350. Shoulders wouldn’t fit through a 36” door unless he twisted a little. We went into a high end restaurant in Kansas City, MO. He ordered a non priced entree.(nothing was priced). They brought him a very nicely ordained plate that you could still see over half the plate. The waiter left and he says: “look at me and look at this plate. No wonder rich people are skinny. They’re starving to death.” He stopped at a drive thru when he left there.

71 this morning and headed to 88 today.

Will be finishing hay baling and probably load up some scrap metal for a later delivery. Need to call and see when I can get truck in the shop. The tensioner pulley on the a/c broke and it needs O2 sensors. Big audit next Tuesday. So have a few odd jobs to finish for that.

Ron. Glad it worked for you. Most of my pain is gone. Still have a little with certain task. So nice not to have constant stomach pain. Still have gerd. Most of my problems now are with learning what I can eat again. But I have figured out that I can’t eat and get hot. Used to it didn’t bother me. Now it does.
