good morning all.
jury-rigged...I've always heard it as jerry-rigged and see that both are used, depending on locale.
Billy, you are probably right, but growing up in a family of lawyers, who interestingly rarely saw a jury, all business lawyers, that term
was the one remembered. A Jerry was a gas can, right? So you rigged up an extra gas can for ? sure there are a zillion stories here.

Let's see, there are a few seriously non pc terms that used to be used, usually referring to some third world reality.
And I admit that I grew up hearing some of those words, often in relation to cars. What different ethic or racial types did with their cars.
Some words should die off...

but never Rube Goldberg. Did you know that Rube was a Berkley graduate in Engineering? With a serious sense of humor :thumbsup:

I wish I could send some humor Buppies' way, we are all pulling for you. And Ed, hope your day went ok.

off to doc's this morning for flu shot, they still don't have the Shingrix shot available, I'm on the waiting list at local pharmacy.
Speaking of that, Toppop, hope you are healing well. BTW, Randy, did you drive that four wheel oddity you call a Gazelle? Purists would sniff from coast to coast, but there is always a market for something outlandish and fun. I'd like to see a Gazelle park next to a bunch of Morgans in a parking lot in England, all driven by elbow patched tweedies. Talk about culture clash...
Always a good car for a parade. Looks like you have a great car talent to help others with.

74 going up to 86 in fog, I'll be mowing lawn today.

Coffee has been poured. 63° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 65° with sun in afternoon. Got flu shot yesterday. Left arm a little sore. Got trim stained. Put some stain finish on it today. If lawn drys. I may cut it today.

Harvey, sent me his Iceman cold therapy machine in the mail. Going to unpack it and learn how to use it today. Weird thing happened. About 10 minutes after package arrive. My phone is making noises in my pocket. It's calling Harvey. :confused3: Huh, how did it know that I needed to make that call. Must be one of the iOS 12.0 upgrades. :thumbsup:

Ed, good luck at dentist.

David, good you got the mowers up and running.

Wngsprd, I have always have used Jury Rigged.

Buppies, prayers.

Newbury, green. Not my favorite color.

Don, hope the cleaning works out. After kitchen Island is installed will need to get someone to do this with our place.

Good Morning All.

Got some rain yesterday. But never got the Severe Weather that NOAA predicted.

Good morning! 75˚ heading to 82˚ at 1:00PM when a cool front will drop the temp to 76˚ with a low tonight of 62˚! Jacket weather tomorrow morning!!!!

Me too Bird. It makes driving without inadvertently breaking the speed limit so much easier. Have you tried a car with adaptive cruise control, where it automatically keeps a safe distance from the car in front ? It took me a while to trust what I first thought was a gimmick, but now I wouldn't buy a vehicle without it. So far I've had a Honda, Toyota and Subaru with this. All worked well, Subaru the most user friendly.

No, Eric, I haven't driven one with adaptive cruise control, although what I've read and heard about it sounds good.

Yea! I'm not as old as I thought.
Beaver, on "Leave it to Beaver" was sitting outside his front door waiting for the "second mail". Does anyone remember when the the USPS delivered twice a day?

73° this morning with forecast of 85° and 80% chance of rain, mostly for this evening.

Forecast was high for thunderstorms in the Texas Hill Country, for today, so I loaded up and left yesterday afternoon. Our Canyon can be "fun" to get out of, with a horse trailer, after big rains.

Great weather while I was there though.

Hope everyone has an excellent day.

Prayers to all.

I don't remember that being done in residential areas, but when I was a clerk in the Dallas Post Office (1958-1964) twice a day delivery was done in the downtown business area.

I heard it raining when I got up before 5 a.m. and I just now went out and dumped about .95" of rain out of my gauge. Temperature was 68 and NWS was forecasting a high of 68 today. It's now down to 67 and forecast to go down to 66. Sure is different weather from what we'd expect here. So far this month, I've recorded 12.46" of rain (not counting what ran over on the 21st), and 12 rain days. Just unbelievable weather for us.

I remember when my parents got a morning newspaper and an afternoon paper, but never 2 mail deliveries.
