Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Kyle hope your trip to the dentist turned out ok without too much pain

Hope all went well for you at the dentist. I'll be in my a dentist's chair in about an hour and a half.

Mine went fine. Worst thing was the anesthetic wearing off and feeling all itchy but numb.

Wrote a long post, the screen froze and lost it. Wont repeat, been a long day..

I hate it when that happens. Ron, I don't see any button for restoring what was lost, am I blind? Do I need to turn on a google function? Usually it happens to me if I come back and try to write something on a page that has been dormant on my computer for some time.

It's back to hot here. Not quite triple digits, but plenty o' humidity.

Prayers for those in the flooding and tornadoes.

Ron, thanks for sharing pic's of the car show. My buddy is restoring a Ford square old Bronco with 9" differentials front and rear, beefed up everything and a 302 bored and stroked to 347 cu in, AND A BLOWER ON TOP. I told him I will watch him get on it and swap ends....no thank you. He said I just want a great amount of instant torque for 4 wheeling (and around 600hp). I said anything over 15 mph ain't 4 wheeling to me, THAT'S RACING!!! Remind me to make sure the life insurance bill is paid up to date....Once it spins out, you are not a driver, you are a passenger too.

Drew, come on down for economical dentistry. Ended up talking with dentist about the country of Turkey somehow, and I told him that Turkey was surrounded by 7 very different countries and some other stuff. When he realized I knew a little bit about it, he opened up that he had gone there as a tourist twice, as recent as 2+ years ago before the current crap.

Anyway, he ran into his office and returned with a book about when the Romans had control of Turkey but they were speculated to have been brought down by the bubonic plague. It is called Justinian's Flea.

Good night all.

A lot of the early churches in the bible are in turkey. Antioch, lystra, derbe, Ephesus, Philadelphia, sardis, pergamon.

Besides idiots flipping cigarettes into dry grass from their cars, our biggest fire starter is freight trains. Not from coal sparks nowadays but from steel wheels on steel tracks. We have several brush fires every year from that during dry spells. About 5 years ago one train started over 20 fires between Cape Charles, VA and Salisbury, where they finally figured it out and stopped the train.

We have very much the same problem, except it痴 motor vehicles that are the source of the sparks. Trailers with flat tires, failed catalytic converters spewing white hot pellets into the underbush, and the same butt tossers carelessness. For a while, rural propertey owners were being assesed a special tax to 兎ducate landowners on how to protect their properties, but obviously in the face of such witless carelessness, it didn稚 even make a dent in the wildfire problem. The reality is that there are far more miles of vulnerable rightofway than there are resources to maintain. Somebody痴 gotta pay for brushing them up, but nobody wants to get stuck with the bill. But when it all goes up in hundred thousand acre holocosts, we all end up paying the price anyway.:confused2:

Glad everything went well, Bird. My last trip to the dentist ended with one whole side of my face numb for almost a day-and-a-half.

I guess I should count my blessings then. I’malready used to having half my face numb after the last several years of Bell’s Palsey, so my unreasonable fear of the dentist’s chair is just a figment of my imagination, right?:laughing::confused2::banghead:

Updated 4 phones and 2 iPads to iOS 12. Went smooth on all devises. Still have another iPad to do. Lots of new features. Like the edit upgrades for photos.

Thanks for the feedback, Ron.

This morning I tried to reinstall the Google Chrome browser on a 17 MacBook Pro, and it immediately locked up and refused to successfully reboot. Now I’m stuck with this miserable excuse of an iPad Pro until I can figger out how to undo the damage...

65 outside this AM. Heading to lower 80's. Humid. Looks like meadow cutting weather. Grass today. Totally out of control. Should be dry for next few days.
Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Does that mean you use Chrome on your ipad?

Over 6inches of rain for us yesterday. Got a little seep in from the bulkhead. Not bad. One of the rivers by us flooded the street. Today should be ok and in the high 60’s with possible showers later.

65 going to 86...and sunny...nice bright stars outside right now.

We got our last rains from Florence yesterday. Turns out there were 17 tornadoes and 2 deaths Monday in central Virginia. Phil, that's a lot of rain in one day that far north.

Bird and Kyle, glad your dentist visit is behind you.

Drew, I bet you are tired, and have a warm feeling of accomplishment when you look out over your place today and see how nice it looks.

Don, schools and public safety are the bargain made when a community agrees to give the local government a portion of its revenue. I think charging for a fire response is a symptom of a government that doesn't have its fiscal priorities in the right place, especially if it is done where taxes are already high. Sure, charging a fee for false alarms makes sense, but those who suffer a real accidental fire are often the ones who can least afford to pay for the fire response.
