Were you close enough to hear the burners roar on the balloon, Ron?

The picture was taken about 200' from balloon. Yes I could hear the burner. Sound spooked Sassy. It landed in my neighbors backyard.

Good morning to all! Low of 54°, going up to 81°. Chance of a t-storm later.... yesterday's forecasted showers didn't happen. Temps start climbing back up to around 90 by the weekend.

Got most of the landscape beds around the house re-mulched / topped off yesterday, but still have about 16' of one to do. Probably do that this morning. That will finish off my stock pile of mulch.... I'll have to get another few yards for the new beds. I'll wait to take advantage of the Labor day sales.

Max goes to the groomers early this afternoon. After we get back, I might take the string trimmer for a walk. The bump head gave out last week about midpoint in the areas I was cutting. A new one that was ordered finally came in, so have to install it first. The OEM (cub cadet) only cost $13.50..... and $11.10 to ship it! I might have to go to the 'rant on shipping' thread....

Rethinking that, maybe just get the trimmer ready to go, and take it for a walk tomorrow morning when it is cool....

Everyone have a great day!

Fuddy were you on cement plant road?

Perhaps 311 in Craig County if so I know gentleman who owns camels

Was the creek in Botetourt going to Craig fun ride done it many times

Born and raised around here never really left

We were on 311, I believe camels were on 615. Not far from a good restaurant Pine Top. I remember passing a cement plant, but didn't see or know about a fun ride.

Always something to take a picture of from my yard.

Buckeye, cost of a new AC will make you double check fan every time.

Some real estate companies will go to great measures to get you to sign up.

I didn’t take a video before I started taking out the mud dauber nest when it was REALLY LOUD, but did take videos yesterday, before and after. I need to put them into one video to hear the obvious difference.

66°F and 1.24 inches rain.

Would like to get more mowing, but…

Definitely need to make it to PO, lots of stuff to pick up. Out of milk and juice so trip to town required.

And sooo wet.

Happy Hour was fun. Pics of some participants

The 4 month old boxer boys

The boys and resident 10 yo foster Pit

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Botetourt, Craig, Montgomery, Salem, Bedford, Giles

I’ve been looking for retirement land in Augusta and rock ridge, but haven’t found anything interesting. Might have to go further south.
Friend just moved from Pulaski to NC.

Liberty Mutual declined to renew my homeowners insurance back in '16, saying the home was too far from a fire station and had a long gravel driveway. Prior to that, they'd raised the premium every year I was with them, so I don't have much good to say about the company.

Emu’s are expensive.

Thanks for all the well wished for my father-in-law. He's in a great hospital with renown specialists. No one can see him yet, as he tested positive for Covid when he got there. He's had a mild case for a few weeks, and had been on the upside of recovery. But, since he still tests positive, their policy is no visitors. His sister spoke with his doctor, and was told he is paralyzed on his left side, same side as last time. He can speak, but words are slow to form. He had to do speech therapy last time, too. We're hoping for a similar recovery this time as well.

Hope recovery goes well.

I tend to stay away from companies that spend millions of dollars advertising on TV and Radio. Maybe I am wrong. But someone has to pay that bill. My insurance is with a Michigan based company. Only advertisement I have ever seen for them is on I 75 near Flint. But every independent insurance agent around here represent them.

I find that true with many companies, including plumbers, etc. but haven’t found a good low cost insurance company. I have Erie, like all the rates keep going up.

I might have to check that out. I once went to Catawba to eat at the homeplace.
