Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Toppop, OH NO! I hope you get over this quickly. Prayers sent!

On a better note, WE HAVE A T-STORM! It's actually raining too! Not much... but it's a start. I can see a little bit in the rain gauge....

 

[rswyan]

74F and clear @ 22:00, heading down to a low of 71F in the overnight. High hit 91.6F here today according to the nearest LWS. They reported no rainfall which I guess shows just how localized it was because we had enough here that it puddled up for a bit.

Pretty laid back day.

No watering necessary today.

Started off with placing small Menards order.

Then emailing about plants.

After that I cleaned up the mess a critter made in the asparagus which are still potted out back. Suspect it was a deer who was attempting to browse the tops and pulled a couple of plants out.

After that got showered and cleaned up then caught a little bit of what was on tv.

Followed by haircut ... (finally)

Then we made the run up to Menards in Kent to pick up order. Headphones/hearing protectors seem reasonably decent for $20 ... sound quality is fair (they're not Sony, Koss, or AT's) and they have plenty of volume and reasonable sound attenuation.

Also got 4 plants for The Woman's planters and two bags of "moisture control" potting soil, which will probably be enough to last until next year's planting season.

With the thunderstorms having cooled things off followed by the front moving through, it made for a nice evening drive down through the countryside to North Canton to Eadies for dinner.

On the way back home we swung through Canal Fulton so The Woman could get an ice cream treat at the DQ while I filled the car up. Noticed gas was 20 or 30 cents per gallon under what it was a couple of days ago. Diesel hadn't budged though ...

Need to go move the potting soil and plants into the garage.

Good early arvo. Overnight low was 3.8C, it's currently 13C and the "Liars" are predicting a high of 15C. It's calm and sunny.

Brimmed hat-wise, I wear an 'Akubra'.

Take care all.

Randy, hope you get to go home tomorrow.

101˚ today, it's baaaaack. Actually the heat wave never left and now the Sahara sands are making the skies a dull white color with a tinge of yellowish gray. Drew do you think it is a viable 2 prong conspiracy to stop climate change, first change all the vehicles to electric and second to change all people to vegan?
Gasoline went up here another 6¢, paid the highest ever at $4.659 - 87 octane regular gasoline. RS I guess the gas stations around here did not get the memo.

Randy(wag) just another day in Tasmania

Yep. I enjoyed a lovely Pinot Noir last night and I'm presently savouring a smooth Cabernet Merlot. I 'belong' to a wine 'club' and enjoy wonderful, selected, plonk from all over the Australian wine districts. Tassie has a great reputation for Pinot Noir.

I do employ a "Vinturi" with each glass.

Cheers!

 

[daugen]

good morning all
up surprisingly early, and geez I don't want to jinx myself but neck is feeling pretty good already. Going to be careful with it today to give
steroids chance to calm things down but so far so good.

this morning is trailer morning. going to be a warm sunny day up to 90, will start on trailer after breakfast. Let's see if plan A works

time for coffee

Australia and New Zealand have great wines

You've lost me with your fancy words mate. LOL. I'm just going to have a Drambuie, straight, no ice or water or any other contaminents. Oh. I will use a glass.

 

[sodamo]

I find myself in the hospital with pneumonia, in the observation unit, hope I can go home tomorrow.

Randy, get better soonest.

Toppop prayers sent

74 high of 94 got to 98 yesterday and this is just the beginning July will be terrible

Prayers for all

 

[daugen]

it's been interesting to see the major car and truck builders compete with their sound systems, infotainment as they call it today.
Harmon Kardon, B&O, Sony, MacIntosh, Bose of course. I know there is one other name that escapes me.
Bose never had enough high end for me, which probably was the way they wanted it.
My optional B&O sound system in the Volvo is frankly remarkable. Too bad my hearing is screwed up and I can't turn it up very much.

And now the next step is coming; Honda and Sony are building a car together. Smart, let Honda build the cars which they are very good at and let Sony
build the electronics. New EV coming out in a few years:

Sony Honda Mobility Inc. Targets 2025 EV Production

The Honda and Sony joint venture finally has a name.

randy/pop, hope you are feeling better. I doubt you got much sleep last night. Hope they feed you something decent.

I'm thinking about getting a watch that tracks my BP. I've had lots of Omicrons like most of us, but wonder short of that big manual cuff what is
more reliable. I don't need a "smart" watch, no phone in it or Burger King apps...

 

[Wagtail]

You've lost me with your fancy words mate. LOL. I'm just going to have a Drambuie, straight, no ice or water or any other contaminents. Oh. I will use a glass.

I've got a bottle of Drambuie 'on the go' too and enjoy it straight.

The "Vinturi" is a wine aerator, using the venturi effect to automatically decant the wine straight out of the bottle into the glass. I highly recommend it to anyone... it won't 'save' a $5 clean-skin, but it will enhance any other bottle.

Oh, and I didn't realise that "plonk" was a fancy word.

 

[Buppies]

Prayers for Rich that sounds terrible wish I lived closer so I could help

67° right now...high in the upper 70's and a probability of T-storms

Had a follow-up appointment with my primary care doc yesterday....BP is back to normal, gained about 8-9 lbs. (which I needed), heart and lungs sound good. But, I have a pretty bad cold....lot of coughing and congestion. Reckon I'll pop out and get some kind of cough medication this morning

 

[daugen]

Roy, let's keep you and Toppop out of the hospital please. Glad you are doing better, watch that cold. It could be anything today.

Wow Rich, sorry you got so beat up. About ten of us would like to descend on your place with grapples ready to clean up that mess.
Hopefully some will be good firewood.

 

[riptides]

69 outside this AM. Heading to mid 90's.

Managed to mow some grass again yesterday. Around the house was cut prior, just two days ago. Attempted the walk of shame with the weed whacker, gave it up, due to the humidity.

Rich, I hope you manage well. I am still battling our insurance company from the March storm we had. Had to do a affidavit for the claims. They are throwing us hoops.

More grass work on tap today, maybe a run to HD, need some concrete....

Drambuie....LOVE the stuff. But it is a winter time drink for me, so I can claim Alien's and Wagtail's season and get right on it!

TGIF, remember to honor your father this weekend.

Hoping for better news, health wise on those ailing. Thinking positive for you all.

 

[Thomas]

Just a quick message

We survived the storm this week. But my property got hit hard, upwards of 20 trees down. Some damage to the house, a portion of the ridge vent got torn off the barn. I “patched” it back on today

Power went out 12:30 AM Tuesday morning. No landline, no cell, no internet. I have the generators working overtime to keep the place functioning partially.

Busy cutting up trees and hauling off the debris

Glad you folks are okay,hope the clean up quick and easy.

 

[Thomas]

I find myself in the hospital with pneumonia, in the observation unit, hope I can go home tomorrow.

Strong thoughts for you Randy.

 

[Thomas]

How's the ticker doing?

Doctor said 26% heart doing well considering with ICD and new pills,but I seem to tired easier etc....maybe age age has something to do with it.
