Good morning!!!!

LS Tractor Owner · Jul 25, 2018

Good morning (evening) to all! Well, we finally got a few evening showers for the past 3 days. Each passing shower gave us 2/10". There were flash floods within 30 miles of us in Santa Fe, they got 3 1/2" in 1 hour! Areas to the south also got 2-3".... I guess a little is better than nothing. The downdraft/ outwash winds associated with the storms broke a few bigger branches off, but no other damage.

It's an absolute sad sight to see the major flooding in some parts back east. We saw news clips of Hershy Park all flooded out and the local houses being flooded....no one needs that.

Quote: Well guys, wifey and I are celebrating 37 years of wedded bliss today. Although, I must have been a bit groggy this morning. She said can you believe it's been 37 years, and I said, gee it sure seems longer than that... I'll post pics once the bruising goes down...

That's funny stuff... CONGRATS ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY ! ....I think your very lucky...:laughing:laughing:

Went to the ortho doc on Monday.... he wasn't very happy about the lack of further improvement in the knee...all he kept saying was: "your knee is really being stubborn", "it may take a while longer". He reported a large amount of fluid / swelling, but said he wouldn't aspirate again or inject any cortisone because it is too soon from the last time. They only like to do the needle thing once every 4 months. He kept me on limited light duty for another 2 months....oh well.

Hope everyone is able to stay dry and out of harms way. It's humpday...just a couple more to go until the weekend! Prayers out to those needing.

Good morning. As well as windows, I opened the doors first thing to let in as much of the cool morning air as possible. That worked for the first hour, now the sun is retaliating, it's found it can get in through he utility door and is doing it's best to start to make life unpleasant by warming up the floor tiles. Guess it's time to start closing things up and go sit in the shade.

Phil, Alaska sounds an ideal place to be in high summer. Bet it seems a really long holiday when you are on so many different types of transport.

I was thinking of getting my tape measure out to enter the kitchen worktop area competion, then realised I wouldn't stand a chance as I would be measuring in square metres and those measurements sound soooo small when compared to square feet.

You could use square millimeters.

69 going to 89...maybe NO rain.

Wow, Step, 37 years is great!

Phil, we could use some of that Alaska weather here. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Yesterday we put the lift kit on the zero turn...raises the front quite high and so got my first good look underneath. There's some molded grass I need to get out stuck to the deck, as expected. Blades looked okay.

Early county meeting today, then gym, and maybe grass will be dry enough to mow when I get home.

dryer day today, 67 going up to 89 with showers again this afternoon.
Headed to dermatologist this morning, wondering what the end of my nose will look like when he is done.
Embarrassed yesterday to realize medicine he had given me for my nose was not what I was putting on, instead a similar little tube
of some kind of skin cream he had given me but not the right one. No wonder nothing was happening...hoping a little bump would disappear before he went all destructo on me.

Then home to do a good bit of rototilling and weeding. Had my first good cantaloupe last night, my it was delicious.

Phil, have fun and take lots of pics. Sounds like a marvelous experience.

Thoughts and positive vibes for all.
