Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! Happy August 1st. Not a dog days today, it a cool 70˚ this morning need to get on the bike and do some hills. It only got to 99 yesterday with the wind from the North.

Snake boots have been replaced with dancing boots and bike shoes. Still waiting on Amazon for the cleats to attach to the bottom of the bike shoes to clip them to the pedal. The Shoe straps have evolved from shoe strings to velcro and now to a cranking wire system.

I like the color on the car Drew. The Rav4 is changing next year and I will be comparing with it.

Bird, the same funeral home ambulance service was available in Houston also before 1973 but the letter radio designation B or W of calling for which funeral home remained in effect through the 80s.

RNG, good catch. Maybe you need a cat.

I love cats, Ron, but I'm allergic to 'em.

Besides, I'd rather empty a mouse trap once in a while than a litter box a couple times a week. Those things make me retch.:vomit:

Water rescues on my road now. Guess people cannot read the big orange sign in the middle of the road. If your going downhill in water what do you expect at the bottom?

Anyone dumb enough to go around a "Flooded" sign probably expects to find a boat at the bottom, Rip.:confused2:

Good Morning!!!! 75F @ 5:15AM. Sunny. High 97F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Weather report reads like a broken record, but by the weekend we should see the temps drop by a few degrees, and if the predictions hold, it'll be back down into the 80s by next week. It's about time.

Never made it back to sleep; found a book to read instead. Maybe I should give it another try?

Happy Hump Day (again)...

That’s good news Ron continue to take care of yourself

Riptides one cannot fix stupid and that’s what you are seeing people driving around signs that warn them of the dangers ahead, oh but it won’t happen to me

Darwin suggested that stupidity will die out but it seems to be a really long process...

Truck reflashed, for fifth time, now downtown to deliver a box of veggies to food pantry, then home to roadside mowing and field bushhogging.
Rain permitting. Sure run the Kubota in 4wd doing the roadsides where things are wet, that slip slidey feeling heading towards the ditch in 2wd made a believer out of me.
I bet a lot of places on the East Coast are going to set high precip records this year. We seem to be getting Florida weather a lot further North than expected. Since I've lived down there, it feels familiar. Maybe just global warming playing out.
Mold is now growing back on my white fencing, won't even get half a year after cleaning, particularly those areas in the shade.
Bleach and powerwasher manufacturers just smile.

Ron,
My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997 and had surgery. He is now 94 and no troubles since.

Good for your Dad. :thumbsup: If the biopsy had shown than 1% would be getting some kind of treatment. Care for it has changed a lot since 1997.

We don't have a cat for same reason. Wife is allergic to them. Plus we lost a baby from the disease that women can get from cat litter.

67 this morning and headed to 79 today. Are you guys sure this is August.

Trucks will be here at 6pm. to get birds. If everything goes well they’ll be gone by 9. 2 crews 2 barns tonight. Same crews tomorrow with other 2 barns. Feed shut off at 6:30 this morning. Need to go down and empty feedlines and hoppers/augers. They’ll come vacuum out the bins later in the week. One of the feed trucks has a vacuum on it and can put the feed back into the truck.

Eric. Question about sheep. Drove by some sheep the other day. Several of them were on their front knees grazing. Hind legs were straight. Is this normal? I’ve seen cows, well calves, graze laying down, but never had one kneel to eat. Just found it odd, maybe not.

Chicken company rep. complained to my FIL once about chickens sitting on their butts to eat. (Feedlines were too low). His response was what do you sit on to eat. He said she got a blank look, shut up and left.
