Good morning!!!!

Drew, someone stole your Jaguar with the rattle that could not be found?

Yup. The rattle that made me dump the car. Kinda wonder if something fishy is going on other than a car theft.
Why a year later is my name still on that car? ?? Wonder if the new owner ever registered it?
not my problem, though the Orlando police would like to make it mine. no no no

60 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's this week. Helped neighbor with hay yesterday. Last night the deer were looking for new bed down areas since the grass is now short. They were coming right up to the fence as we roasted marshmallows. Got the powerwasher all ready for the work week. Hope I can keep up.

Hawkeye, I hope your daughter improves, are the doctors overlooking retinal detachment with all the other trauma suffered?

Daugen, had a car come back at me via the State, Local police and impound lot. Seems they go by last registered owner. As smarts would have it, I had the persons information, which was requested.

Prayers for all, positive thoughts for fast healing.

Have a great day all. Be safe.

Good Monday Morning. It's 80°F and dry here now. Storms coming from the north, heading our way. Forecasts says temp will drop to 71°F by 8 a.m. when rains come through then up to 90°F this afternoon. We need the rain and 71° will feel good.

Plans for today will be weather dependent. Probably some shop time this morning.

Our Astros finally ended their uncharacteristic string of losses with a win against them Yankees yesterday. I listened to the game while mowing the open areas of the yard with the LS tractor and RFM. The A/C felt good, as we were back in another Heat Advisory yesterday.

Kyle .... nice bird bath picture! Three drinking, one in line. Saw two cardinals on ours yesterday.

Thomas ... back to work? Now you can rest up from your days off.

Randy .... thanks for giving us an update, keep getting better.

BEF .... ditto!

David and Jay .... enjoy your travels.

When I lived in London for 3 years, mid 1970's, an Aussie friend asked me if I'd turned into a "POM" during my time there. . Eric ...... will explain.

Hope everyone has an excellent Monday.

Prayers to all.

Question Drew, did you retain the license plates when you sold the Jag. I always remove my plates and toll tags.

Good morning! Oh my, pom insults flying this morning already, what is GM coming to?

A cool front came in last night dropping morning temps 10˚. It's 68˚F and we had 2.5" of rains last night.

Yesterday we went on an outing on a big party bus with the neighborhood to Fredericksburg TX about 1hour 45minutes away. We had lunch and saw the small town production of "The Sound of Music". Very pleasant and still got back before dark. It was cloudy and a light mist (the kind you can feel on your forehead but does not show up on your glasses) when we got there so the temps were only in the 80s - very nice for late June.

My 5 tomato plants are producing too many tomatoes. our freezer is filling up fast. Next year I'll only plant two, that should produce about 50 tomatoes.

I see little cucumbers. I planted the cucumbers in the space where I harvested the potatoes. My two eggplants are producing 3 a week - might cut down to one plant next year.

The 1/2 yard of mushroom compost along with cotton bur compost and molasses is really a fertile soil combination in our organic gardens.

I suspect most, if not all, states have a law similar to ours in Texas that makes it "advisable" but not mandatory for the seller to notify the state when you sell or trade a vehicle.

Good morning to all! Low of 43, nice and crisp. Going up to 83 today. Humidity is only at 8%. Some of you guys mention the 3 H's....out here we have SDH...sunny, dry, hot.... I don't think it ever feels as hot as your areas though, not with all that humidity!

Got a bunch of outside work done yesterday, then celebrated by having 2 pork roll sandwiches....YEP, they were just as good as I remembered! Fried it this time, next time will be on the grill.

I'm off to the big city again this morning for another big arse needle into the knee. First shot last week didn't seem to help, but they did state that it probably wouldn't make any difference. Apparently results won't happen until after 3 injections, if they help at all!
Only a 60% success rate of any relief...I guess fair odds...

Everyone have a great start to the week! Prayers out for those needing.

66°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 80° today. Drove through a little rain on the way to work this morning. Going to be around 90° most of the week, but no more rain after today until sometime next week. I'm OK with that.

It rained on and off for most of the day yesterday, so nothing done outside. Fixed the kitchen door going to the sunroom, which had been rubbing against the jamb towards the top. A couple of the hinge screws were stripped in the frame side, easily fixed with a few toothpicks. Got the oil changed in my car.

Other than that, just kind of piddled around in the studio most of the day.

thanks, I will ask her about it. Read more about Topamax yesterday... I don't know why anyone would ever go on that drug.. my daughter has maintained her sense of humor, she says she is a 1% now (only 1% of people on Topamax have serious side effects)..

Never been a big baseball fan, but this kind of struck me yesterday. I was out in the barn last night after closing up the chicken coop. We have a radio out there (to scare off groundhogs), and it's always playing the local news/talk radio station KMOX. They are the flagship station for the STL Cardinals, and were broadcasting the game. The Angels were in town this weekend. It's the first time since Albert Pujols left the Cardinals that he's been back to Busch Stadium (not sure why MLB let that take 8 years, but whatever). So, I walk into the barn and hear Mike Shannon saying it's the top of the 9th, bases loaded, and Pujols comes to bat, 47,000 people on their feet. It's one of those scenarios Cardinals fans always loved to hear ... except this time he's playing for the opposition. He got to 3-2, then popped out to the 1st baseman. He walked back to the dugout to a standing ovation, which continued until he took the proverbial curtain call. Probably his last time in St. Louis, and the fans showed their appreciation. Very classy.
