Good morning!!!!

[mostly_gas]

good evening all. Just got on the wireless network and caught up . Sat. was travel day after having breakfast with stepdaughter on her birthday. Sunday was 50 year since congregation was established, so big celebration there. Today was mow stepson;s 3/4 acre with push mowers in 90F weather, not for the faint of heart. Will get done working with his house tomorrow or Wednesday, then visit mom and head home.

Not sure how many will show up, usually around 40 or so, but I have around 60 burgers, 28 brats, chicken, and a bunch of hot dogs to grill. -cookout is over, had 34 people show this year.

We started at 4:00 and had 20 show up for the volleyball finale - Temp at game time was 100˚, water temp was 92˚.
Even after sunset the temp was 95˚ - glad to be back in AC.

Our food was potluck/German - see pic below.

TXDon, thanks, but no thanks, the last thing I need is cute. So what do you raise? Angus, Herefords, Charolaise???

I'm still leasing my pasture out, they are Angus cows and a Hereford bull. 90% of the calves are black. When I retired I was going to start raising my own cattle but that has not materialized.

cookout is over, had 34 people show this year, one of our smaller crowds. Weather was real nice. kids and a few adults enjoyed volleyball, kickball, basketball, and cornhole. Ended up cooking 38 burgers, half the package of costco chicken, 2 1/2 packs of hotdogs, and 14 brats.

You had 14 bad kids show up??? And worse yet, because they were bad, you cooked them???

Not even going to ask about cornholio.....

64 right now...looks like a high of 85 and a pretty good chance of rain over the next couple days...rain is something we need.

Last night I went out to get a few rabbits. There are far too many around here and the dog always appreciates a bit of rabbit for breakfast. As dusk passed and the stars made themselves visible again in a clear dark sky, it almost felt like it was raining, as the water in the air condensed out onto anything it could touch. It has left a thick mist this morning, although the fading leaves in the trees are stiring, so it may not be long before it lifts. All starting to feel like autumn.

A few nights ago I watched a tv program that I think was made to educate us Brits about Texas. It featured long horn cattle, the Alamo, 72oz steaks, big hats, short horn cattle, exerts from a bunch of cowboy films, NASA and more cattle.

It was screened quite early in the evening - maybe that's why they didn't mention all the cannibalism. :laughing:

Drinking first cup of coffee. 67° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 83° with chance of thunderstorms in afternoon. Packing up this morning and heading home. Been a great holiday visit with longtime friends.
Good Morning All.

65 heading to 90.

Had a nice small family cookout yesterday. We didn't eat anybody, just chickens and shrimp. No brats showed up.
