Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

Had date night tonight. On the way home….another storm rolled thru. Saw a funnel cloud above the ridge on the way home. Did not appear to touch down.

I didn't see that you had posted before I did.

Glad to hear no touch down.

Tomorrow morning wife and I are going out to breakfast for our 47th anniversary. We joked that going out to dinner would keep us up past our bedtime. So someone else will have to save the day tomorrow.

Happy Belated Anniversary Popgadget and wifey. Hope you got to stay up past your bedtime.

good morning all
overnight showers stopping, not much accumulation, hot and sticky today and for next couple of days.

Paul congrats on a long marriage and hope you have a fun breakfast this morning.

I'm off to look at an rv this morning at 8am, told lady I was just looking and would bring her some tomatoes.
It's a traditional older style diesel pusher but perhaps they built them better 15 years ago. I certainly can't afford anything
this size new, but a Cummins/Allison powertrain with 75k miles is pretty low miles. It's all the other stuff in an rv that breaks...
Seller told me they replaced all ten suspension air bags last year. Now that's the kind of work you want done before the sale.

still pondering, a future on the road, or on the tractor. I'm leaning towards the tractor but really want to see what a good deal rv option is.
I've had a travel trailer, a class A gasser and a class B diesel motorhome, and all of them have their advantages.
Let's see, nice new tractor where everything works? Or an older rv where everything will break at some point?
But...I can't see Mt Rushmore in a Kubota...

Drew, my buddy is a Mcguyver type who can fix anything....he has an older diesel pusher (that used to be his dad's) and he's always having to fix something on it.

Got sick on job yesterday dehydrated not fun

Prayers for all

Heat exhaustion is a killer. Be careful. Prayers, also for Randy and the rest of our crew.

Plenty to catch up on here.

Fresh pineapples! yummy. I'll bet their delicious.

Been busy at work still. Need to pick up shop too.

Flat track races this weekend.

Welcome BlackTruck.

Drew, only people who've sold the farm, go into a dealership and ask for less horsepower.

Eric, thankful you had the winders shut too.

Still haven't got the HPX Gator going yet.....been tired when I get home.

Kids start school here next week. Watch out for school zones.

Exciting game, but wrong team won.

Heard thunder, got lightning alert, but it won’t get us, just small cell up north.

That corn is so good, had 3 more for supper. Love this time of year with fresh produce, most from our garden. And it’s peach season.

Still 82° at 1130 pm, upstairs ac is not keeping up. After tomorrow it cools off some.

Mostly, exciting you get to see big boy. Wish I could.

We pay around $1 an ear for corn. Usually a tray of 4 is from $4 - $6 for good stuff. I love it myself.

73° right now...high in the low 90's today...

Pretty good day yesterday, but back to work today (my "real" job)

Depending on the temperature, might finish the lawn when I get home....it's hot, but not real humid. I can tolerate the heat, but not a humid heat....that really wilts me

Wrong team won here too, Dennis. Gals won at H&F. As the standings are 11-8 in favor of the guys. Maybe today’s loss was a strategic win.

Had an eye test today. No deterioration since about 20 years ago. Still the same readers so I ordered some new ones. Slight cataract but of no concern. May have to look at that in 5 years or so he said. Good result. Wife had a trip to the Dr this morning and he came out to have a look at the car and discuss drones. Nice fella. Hard to find a sociable Dr nowadays. Been with him now for about about 14 years or so.
Bought a new car cover for the Mustang. When I opened it there were big grease marks on it. The stiching went through the marks and was clean so the marks had to be on the material before it was stitched up. They have ordered a replacement for me.
Tomorrow (Sat) is club day for me so looking forward to that after missing some days

with the lockdown.

Coffee is done brewing. 69° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 82° with partly cloudy skies. Helped neighbors that needed repairs from Wednesday's storms. One was a TT that tree fell on. Just a temporary until they can get it in for a proper fix. Total rain from Tuesday and Wednesday storms was 2.24". Dr Appointment this morning. Then mow grass.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.
