If was too hot in South Louisiana so I went to Alaska for a break. I’m in Ketchikan right now and it’s 74 degrees and feels like 82.
Sometimes you just can’t win.

I remember Ketchikan. Was a stop on the ferry.

Got a text today saying I ordered a dishwasher, and $988 would be deducted from my card. Call if it was not me.

Was tempted to play along with their game, but didn’t.

Glad to hear from you Randy! We were getting worried..... hope you continue to get better. Take care!

Another blah day. Got started outside, and just tired out walking to the shop. Went back in the house, figured I'll just get another cup of coffee. Didn't work. Started to get a headache, which then gave me the classic visual "aura" preceding a migraine. Took some aspirin and ibuprofen, laid down for a few hours.

Caught it in time.... no headache when I got up. Actually felt much better. Everything waited for me to do tomorrow.... I was hoping that some of those plants would just dig themselves in, but they were too lazy.

I hope this isn't going to be my "new normal"..... to many things still needed to be done.

Just relaxing watching "Modern Marvels". Interesting how some things are made.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

BEF, I get a lot of similar emails stating the same thing.... "thank you for your purchase.... $$$ will be charged.... If this wasn't you....

I move them to 'junk'..... but then paranoia sets in, so I go directly to the card site and check. It's happened 3-4 times over the last few months. I still check each time.

The fake site looks official, but not so much for the wording.

Good evening all. 74ºF for the start, clear sky, light breeze. Light wind today, sky stayed mostly clear, and high temp was 100ºF, HI 104ºF. Bike ride in the morning, started later than I meant to, got hot on me . Nap after lunch and change from Peugeot to Trek, we will hit some gravel roads tomorrow. Tomorrow last really hot day, Sunday through Thursday will be low to mid 90's!
Kyle I do try and start by 9AM and slow down the pace to generate less heat. I understand the issues of puppy transport and care.
Scaredy like the story and the t-shirt.
Scaredy sounds like a fun hobby.
Roy getting closer to out temps.
Mike sorry about the road blockage. hope shopping went well. Hope you can get the tree taken care of.
Drew hope you get all your trip prep done.
Buppies sorry about lack of energy. Any idea why?
Drew always try to mover over one lane for stopped vehicles. I think the Tesla problems are that the drivers rely on car assist too much.
Thomas sorry about tree. hope you can get the critter video you have been trying to get.
Paul nice fence strap. Nice time frog chasing with GS. sorry about the driver issues. Enjoy your extra music gig.
Thomas glad you got brownie points today. Date night ho-hum?
Drew neat pic of bush. Here golf carts are used more than cars most of the year. Not a lot of funny story material.
RNG hope you have a fun trip.
PJ just keep an eye on the sky. And use plenty sunscreen.
Dennis enjoy your non commute day .
Ken nice fountain.
Ted sorry about the lack of restful sleep last night. Hope you can make some progress today.
Ted never used a U-pull-It yard, rarely used used parts in repairs.
RS plenty on agenda.
David sorry missed PO window and guy lost H&F. glad game was fun, and good eats.
Drew that personal record I do not want to top Safe and fun trip.
Randy good to hear from you prayers sent.
Dudley they must be complaining like crazy at 84ºF HI.
Dennis sorry about the spam . I toy with idea of using a burn phone to mess with them.
Ted sorry about the day. You would think those plants would take care of themselves
TED got a lot of those emails lately.

Alien, little pythons grow up to be big pythons

This one caught like maybe 8 miles or less from the house .
Over 215 lbs / 18 ' .....https://greensboro.com/news/national/florida-team-hauls-in-18-foot-215-pound-burmese-python/article_7aa0cdaa-24dd-50a8-a80d-3a0b4c9f3667.html
I have personally seen one I guesstimate at least 17' maybe hard to tell 180 lbs .

 

[Alien]

I’m still kicking and I catch up soon. I have several issues to overcome yet but ill fill you in.

Oh man, get better soon. Our thoughts and wishes are with you mate.

 

[Alien]

Looking 4new.
We have had some giant pythons here too. Can't say what happened to them. One completely filled the front end loader bucket. Our horse was totally fascinated by it.
I have seen several now and had a very scary encounter with one once. They would easily take me down. One day a neighbour came up the road and thought a tree had come down across the road. He got out to try to shift it and it was a giant python. He quickly retreated. It was right across the road.
One day I stopped a couple of hundred yards from my place as I saw one of the monsters and wanted a photo of it. I hopped out of the car and discovered there was two of them so I snapped a pic and left. Not sure where that pic is now. Had too many computer crashes and lost heaps of pics. I will not walk in my bush alone.

 

[Alien]

Perfect weather again. 23 deg C. No wind, no clouds. Had a great day flying RC plane. Supposed to be winter here. It was rather hot out in the sun.

Good Morning (in some time zone areas)

This is how i spend my Friday nights in the summer ... 30 - 45 min car cruise to a local area ice cream establishment (each week in a different direction)
i usually have a passenger with me for a ride in the El Camino, and to meet & greet new people

tonight there were probably 25 vehicles, and 10 of us for the drive

 

[daugen]

good morning all
much warmer weather today, back to normal summer temps, high near 90.
hope to get out of here around 8am, have lots to do before then.
but still time to sit and enjoy cup of coffee, then shower and shave and pack car.
Lastly hook up trailer and golf cart.

have no idea if internet works where I'm going so I may be offline for a few days.
My Verizon wifi usually grabs some signal, will find out.
Will be on side of mountain; no cable here for sure

Toppop, hope you're feeling better today. Get well.

 

[daugen]

scaredy, nice pics. You and Toppop have a lot of fun at these shows.
is that a 58 Pontiac or Olds?
had 58 white Impala same body style, 348, what a tank. I think the sheet metal on that car was three times thicker
than on today's cars. 9mpg around town. Even when gas was 35 cents a gallon, I knew I had bought a thirsty girl.
Wrecked it too, sadly.

 

[Buppies]

Great to hear from you Toppop get better soon prayers sent

I have put in 67 hours this week I’m tired but cannot sleep

Enjoy the trip Drew

Prayers for our Country prayers for Ukrainian people Kyle Riptides all others in harms way

Tallyho8 while you were heading North to look for cooler weather I was trying to stir up a hurricane in the Gulf. The temps were 15 to 20 degrees cooler than in central Texas. I did find one rain storm but never got big enough to materialize into a good storm. No Hurricane followed us back to Texas only a Carnival cruise ship.

100˚ to 101˚ for 8 hours yesterday. Starting the morning at 76˚ heading to 100˚ again.

 

[Buppies]

Nice pictures Don

 

[Thomas]

Enjoy your day.
