Not much plan for the evening other than kicking back.

Enjoy your day all.

Good afternoon! thunderstorms to the North, lots of thunder but the rain is not quite here and is moving East. The church camp super spreader event is now reporting 10 break though cases - people who came down with covid after being fully vaccinated.

I still believe there is something fishy about this, and the reporting of it. I'm not seeing any articles since July 8th.

Were all these attendees on a deserted island, and just came off to attend camp? The first reporting of contradicted itself, first stating 20 sick, and then later over 100 sick....now breakthrough cases? There have been thousands of attendees to this camp, and sadly only this church is having this problem.

Money has clouded Covid in so many ways.

Now reporting Johnson & Johnson shot might cause a higher incidence of Guillain Barre syndrome.

At least they are saying the Delta variant is more like a cold, than flu.

Have a similar hat, holds too much heat in, but doesn’t fit over my ear protectors so I wear baseball hat usually.
The guy who installed my exede satellite internet brought his wife and kid, hot summer day, when installer had to go in basement the kid went in and started playing with all my sons toys. Everything about that install pisses me off just thinking about it. Incompetent idiot. I was happy to dump Exede when I got the AT&T mobley.
Storms around us, none at house
Humid.
Got new tail light on camper. Wife made camping reservations for end of month, so gotta get it fixed up. New canopy is last major item still to do. I bought it over a year ago.
It needs washed real bad also.
Wife did ribs in crock pot, maybe better than my IP ribs.

Buppies, restaurants in TN didn’t have enough staff and had to limit number of customers.

74F and cloudy @ 23:00, headed down to a low of 71F for the overnight. DP is 71 so it's pretty muggy out. Thunderstorm just off to the southeast. Accumulation since midnight: 0.52"

Was supposed to go down to Canton this morning to have a look at a router but had trouble falling asleep last night and I ended up getting up real late ... so that didn't happen.

When I did wake up, I hadn't been up very long (was still in my shorts) and just poured my first cup of coffee when the neighbor showed up in his Gator. He decided today was the day to cut down the trees that were leaning over the trail and clear the ones that had already fallen. Told him to give me a few to wake up and have some coffee, and I'd be over. He went off to go get his tractor.

Ended up cutting down or clearing around 8 or so good-sized aspens and moving them off the trail. We were just about to finish pushing the last one off and it started raining. In a minute it was pouring and we both got completely drenched. Did get the trail all cleared though.

There is still one left that we need to take down (leaning badly) on our property but I told him we'd get it later ... when the chance of lightning strikes were a little lower ...

Came down to the house and gave the guy with the router a call to see if it was still available. Told him to give me 10 minutes to grab a shower and get the sawdust off of me and I'd be down.

Ended up picking up what I think will be a decent router for good price - Sears Craftsman 2HP with fixed and plunge bases, variable speed, soft start, accessories, and a bunch of bits (some brand new, some used):

Ended up spending around an hour or so there talking woodworking/suppliers, and getting a little tour. They were redoing an older Century Home ... was right in downtown Canton. The workmanship was incredible. Lots of white and red oak. 15 year project.

Was going to grab Mexican on the way back but they were closed. Ended grabbing Chinese instead.

Filled The Woman's car while I was out.

All in all, not bad day.

Raining now ... and I still need to take the trash and recycles up to the road ...

Hope everyone had a great day ...

My niece and her infant son have come down with covid. She was vaccinate. She has lost taste and smell and the baby's temp got up to 102.5. They were coming for a visit this coming weekend.
