Good Morning!!!! 78F @ 5:00AM. Sunny. High 97F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

78F may well be the low for the day, since it just hasn’t been cooling off much overnight with this high pressure system perched over us. With relatively low humidity, the heat isn’t punishing, but I can almost hear my skin sizzling when I step out from under the shade. Definitely no yard work going to be done in this weather.

I think it’s wonderful that your new system is so quiet, Jay. And I bet the gentle breeze it generates helps dust to a minimum, too! And hang onto that mechanic; he’s a real keeper!:thumbsup:

I don’t think you’ll have too much trouble getting used to your mini retirement, Phil. And knowing you only have a little more than a year left until the real thing will hopefully cushion the shock of going back to work when it’s over.:laughing:

I dunno about that picher, Buckeye. She don’t look anything like the Daisy Duke I remember, and I doubt she could even begin to get into a pair of those cutoffs she used to wear!.:laughing:

Use lots of garlic in that sauce, Drew. LOTS of garlic, and it’ll come out tasting like a good marinara sauce should.:licking: Sounded like those SR71 pilots had lots of the Right Stuff, too.

The past few days have prooved quite eventful for local law enforcement. A traffic stop yesterday in Chico turned up a guy running around with a complete honeyoil lab in the back of his car. A few days earlier, just up the road in Concow, they busted an even bigger lab and confiscated almost 800 pounds of processed marijuana, over 30 pounds of refined honey oil, 200 full cans of butane, and 10,000 empty butane cans! But the “what the heck” moment came yesterday afternoon when the CHP were finally able to pull over two tweakers that had stolen a fire truck from an active fire scene in Sacramento, starting a chase that lasted a hundred miles and involved LEOs from five different counties. By the time the truck got itself stuck in a ditch just down from the local fire station, it had been driven on the rim for some miles and there was nothing left of the right front tire. Fortunately all those sparks failed to start a string of fires here in our community. Crap like this convinces me that the world is indeed going to He11 in a hand basket! But I was blissfully ignorant of any of it until I read the news last night. I just hope I can keep it that way!

Hope everyone enjoys a peaceful Sunday...

Oh, one more: Yesterday they caught the guy that the day before threw gasoline on his wife and lit her on fire! This also happened in Chico, just a few blocks from where I had breakfast last Thursday...:shocked:

Going to keep this all veggie and hope to pour it over baked okra tonight.

What's your recipe for "baked okra"? I grew up eating fried okra, a little stewed okra, though most of my family didn't like it stewed, and okra was my first money crop as a farm kid; picked it every other day and sold it to the local grocery stores. I still like it fried AND I like pickled okra.

Drew, hope the sauce came out to your liking. I do a lot of "touring" by video and google maps streetviews.

RNG, don't get me going about idiots with nothing to do. Jails ain't big enough I guess.

Brutally hot down here all week. Back is feeling better. Today we leave for summer vacation at church camp in west Texas hill country.

Wngsprd, did Ted play any of his old music or just promoting new stuff?

Jay, you couldn't have gotten that done any cheaper if you did it yourself. I would tip the man heavily if it is braking correctly. One way to test calipers (front) is if it pulls to one side or the other when braking. My old suburban was bad about that.

Prayers for all. Have a blessed Sunday.

Eric, I might need to brush up on my English fish species nomenclature.
Did y'all (youz guys) see the guy catch the 8' long alligator gar in the Trinity river here in Texas? I wonder how old it was?

Not sure why but I'm rooting for Crotia today....I guess that underdog spirit....nothing against France right now. Did you ever hear the old joke: French tanks have 3 gears for forward and 6 for backing up....Bad joke...

I agree. Craziness is everywhere; not just CA, although CA may have a disproportionate percentage of crazy residents + transients.:rolleyes: MA is up there with the "crazies" as well; something must be in the water around here.

The A/C has two separate filters: nano platinum filters and electrostatic filters that will require regular cleaning. With the wood stove, dog, kitchen, and myself; the filtration system will be challenged.

Kyle- We have been doing business with this mechanic for many years. As soon as we are no longer under vehicle warrantee we go to him. We are fortunate to have a "local" tire sales/service business and outdoor equipment sales/service businesses that have a similar business plan as our mechanic here in the hill towns = decent prices, good service, and consumer oriented

When in doubt, add garlic ;)

Wimbledon men’s final not as good as semis yesterday. First set not going well for South African
 
   / Good morning!!!! #78,780  
It was 46* this morning, yesterday was in the low 70' and overcast all day but no rain. Today is going to be in the 80's and clear skies and a light wind.

Worked on the trailers electrical system yesterday and it's still not working today. So I didn't get anything done yesterday. One of the weekend home owners has a electrical company, I'll ask him to have a look at it.

Going to put off working on the tractor tell we get back from SLC this week.

Hope everyone has a nice Sunday.
CWB.
