Good Dr appointment today. Wife’s ophthalmologist pleased at this point. Given his reaction when he first looked in her eye, I believe him. Still a way to go, but tech was pleased with her reading the eye chart, which she couldn’t do last week. Dr increased her steroid regimen and another followup next week.
By the time we finished errands, got home and had lunch just decided to take remainder of day for energy conservation.

good morning all. 69 headed up to 91 today, headlines say some bad storms coming but won't reach this area.
Consistent 90 degree days means thunderstorms can get pretty severe.

coffee is brewing, had a decent night except for some strange dreams.
About only thing on agenda for today is doing laundry, not an exciting prospect.
Mostly, and others, thank you. Hopefully getting a little wiser each day, sometimes not sure.

Good news David.
have a great weekend

Morning everyone!
57 going to a sunny 79 and then 3 days with rain in the forecast. We need it bad. Ground is dry 4 to 5 inches deep.
Had my last yearly review this week and am working on my separation paperwork. Oct. is coming quick!
Going to burn up some vacation time in July so it should go even faster.
With the wife furloughed from work we have been practicing our retirement life and are getting along great.
Hope Jay joins in here soon. Drew I'm glad you seem to be doing much better!
Hope everyone else stays safe and healthy!

58 right now...high today in the mid-70's.
Since I spent half the day doing job related activities (customer webinar, responding to a quality issue with a supplier, other stuff), my vacation day yesterday wasn't much of a vacation day at all...
Hopefully, I'll make up for some of that today...
Chores: Definitely a dump run....and definitely a haircut (had to make an appointment). If the rain (much needed) holds off, some weed trimming. The grass could use a trim, but IMHO, it's too brown...probably let it go for a few days.

This was recently posted to YouTube:

I served with the pilot, James H. Flatley, in 1972 through 1974. The outfit was VF-31 which flew (at the time) F-4 Phantoms. Cdr. Flatley was the best skipper I ever had

Good morning. Our hot weather has been replaced with something slightly cooler and a lot more humid. I wore a goretex waterproof jacket (from my cycling days) to keep off the rain showers as I did my morning rounds of the fields, though in hindsight I reckon my tea shirt would have stayed drier without it.

Last year we had a handful of orchids growing on the damp ground between the big pond and the hayfield. They must have found it to their liking as this year there are dozens in bloom.

Phil, pleased to hear the trial retirement has been going well. Has that helped your wife decide when to quit work too ?

Adding pictures is hard work, this is my 5th attempt !
