Good morning!!!!

[jbrumberg]

Checking In-

A sunny 62ºF for today’s low temperature. 79ºF presently; probably today’s high temperature. With the lower humidity a beautiful day to putter about in the garden most of the day.

The USA Woman’s soccer team dominated the 2nd half of play against the Netherlands team. A pretty win for the USA.

Drew- I am happy to read that you had a decent day on the water. Thanks for the video. I was always very careful about sailing when there existed a potential for T-storms. I have a 22’ lightning rod on my sailboat. It looked like that sailboat blew out its chainplates with that lightning hit (or worse). For all the regional weather media hoopla yesterday we saw a couple of spits of rain that evaporated as soon as they hit the concrete deck.

I hope Randy is ok.

“Rip, I don't think you can buy a vehicle these days without too much tech. And all those bells & whistles often kill the reliability rating and bewilder both owners and the dealers that have to fix ‘em.”- RNG. I agree.

I hope that everyone had a decent weekend.

My +thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Got the lawn mowed, the shopping done and we brought home sandwiches for an afternoon "Lupper" (if they can refer to a late morning breakfast as "brunch", what's the term for a late afternoon lunch or an early supper? Gotta be Lupper, Linner, or Dunch...right?)

Home from camping. Was hot, humid, with severe thunderstorms.
The camper bed is ok for a couple nights, but after that my hips really hurt.
Yesterday started having weakness in my legs, like they didnt want to work. Today more of the same. Think ill see the doc again.

Backed camper into it's spot, and knocked over the fence behind it. Couple posts were rotted and leaning already. Tapped it with bumper and down it went.

The new griddle was great while camping. Did bacon, eggs, pancakes, hamburgers, and grilled peppers, onion, zucchini on it. The latter in the middle of a huge downpour last night.
Did have trouble with the gas regulator, would get low flame, would have to crack line open then close before regulator, then it worked fine.

Yesterday visited an old country store in kings gap pa, then visited the kings gap mansion. Interesting place up on a mountain.

RNG ..... I wonder if the fires reduced the life of your house paint?

I don't think so, as the peeling started last year before the fire. It was supposed to be one of those primerless paints, but that didn't work out so well in this case.:banghead:ullinghair:

Meanwhile back in ohio, this covered bridge collapsed. Dad and i last walked across it a couple yrs ago. Witnesses said it was cracking all day.

Saturday was mowing day.. mowed the lawn in the morning and decided to mow some pasture in the afternoon.. sure is nice to mow when only a foot high, instead of the 3-5 ft I usually let it get to.. the farmer renting our ground is not very good at weed control.. had to mow some thistle at the edge, took some crop too since it would not be harvested with the thick weeds.. Went well... got enough done, have some spraying to get done this week. Oldest daughter and 3 grand kids visiting next week, gonna be some fun..

Good evening all. 73F for the start, partly cloudy, light wind. Wind was on the light side, Sky mostly clear and high temp of 98F. Chapel to start day, made wife hot cereal, and went to help move stepdaughter's boyfriend. He had a 300-400 lbs gun safe, every thing else was no problem. Had to stop for lunch about mid-day then finished for the day about 3:15. Nap finished day off.
Drew, glad you had a good day boating, had a friend of mine hit by some lightning while pulling boat out of lake, enough power to burn under his wedding ring :thumbdown:
Buckeye, quite the video of the collapse. Nice camping pics.
Randy is on his honeymoon:cloud9:, do you really expect to hear from him?
Roy, I trust you showed your wife a good day today.
prayers for all

Good morning all. No rain expected, light cloud and not rising above 18C/64F. Great conditions for getting things done outside in comfort.

Spectacular video Drew !

Some of you keen weather watchers may already have heard about the place in France that recently recorded their "highest ever" temperature. It turns out that instead of being sited over grass away from other structures, the weather station had been positioned above concrete, next to a fence, not far from a busy road.
France’s new ‘hottest recorded temperature ever’ is in question – guess where it was measured? | Watts Up With That?
