I agree. The diverse membership/fellowship here is a result of the efforts and sacrifices of the "Greatest Generation."

61 right now...high in the mid-70's today.

76 outside this AM. Heading to upper 70's. Storms came through and missed us last night. Pick up sticks day is on order. That and tent caterpillars which seem to be in abundance this summer.
Prayers for all in need. Speedy recovery to those ailing. Stay positive. Be safe.

A kink in the jet stream is drawing warm air up from the south. Should be around 29C/84F today, then rising for the rest of the week as hot air from Africa is pulled in. Ideal for making hay, except thunderstorms are coming too :confused3:

Truly America at it's greatest. :drink:

:thumbsup: - Although I can't help adding a few words as a "neutral observer"

Putting the first men on the moon was incredible. Something that was hard to believe was actually coming true at the time and still fascinating to watch and listen to again this last week. Although literally "out of this world", I now look back on it more as an example of what the president of a wealthy nation can achieve by throwing an enormous amount of money at something.

Yes, the people who worked on Apollo were clever and the astronauts very brave, but probably no more than their counterparts in Russia who prior to that had easily led the space race and to this day are being relied upon for anyone wanting to hitch a ride to the ISS and safely back again.

Oops, I better duck out now while you all start throwing moon rocks at me

68 and rain most of the day we need it. Nice cool 80s rest of the week. Big storms yesterday took a good second shower after getting caught in the storm directing traffic while Equiptment being loaded

Prayers for all in need Buckeyefarmer and the rest who are in need

That kink Eric is giving us cool weather

good morning all.
still a warm 78 going up to 89 today, with rain coming in late morning.

taking veggies to food pantry for distribution morning, then food shopping and home.
haircut yesterday was fine, though he cut it too short, despite my asking him not to.
Takes a while to sort this out...next time probably better. Folks here have short hair for sure...
Not like I have that much hair to get long anyway...
Same price as other guy, 15 bucks plus a tip. I thought his pricing sign was interesting, for just a quickee buzz around,
5 bucks. I had to look at sign a second time, yup, 5 bucks. Still a lot of money for someone earning a few hundred bucks a week, and considering
how poor this area is, makes sense.

had fun continue to work on planning rv trip. Seems there's a nice rv place in LaGrange TX. Now I wonder who might be around there?
Wonder Class C RV - Leisure Travel Vans
I've tried a Class A gasser, a pull behind travel trailer, and now a mini rv. Hopefully third time will be the charm. This little rv puts the least physical demands on me, plus it has adaptive cruise and other modern features. No slide out, nothing to break, Ford diesel motor. 17mpg
Hope to go see it next week. Just not sure it has enough room in it, but for parking, less is sure more, particularly since I won't be towing a car and this rig
has to fit in restaurant lots, etc. Canadian built rv, brand is well respected. No more Winnebagos for me...

60F steady rain low 70's for high.

Rain ending by afternoon after work trim side field.
No signs that bear visit last night...hmmm.
E muffin feed little critters slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

69 and some rain just now coming in. Last night's storm missed us again. Temps should be going down today to 61...about 40 degrees less than Sunday.

Eric, we may have been a wealthy nation, but are now $22 trillion in debt. But it took a lot more than money to achieve a trip to another world and back.

BEF, hope to hear a better report today.

Got some lopping and string trimming done yesterday, and a little target practice. Pulled one poke out that was growing up through the middle of a crape myrtle...14 feet tall...hidden inside the foliage. Every step in the yard yesterday was a crunchy dry grass sound.

 

[Buppies]

Wngsprd grass here was same way until Sunday and yesterday’s 1.5 in of rain
