Good morning!!!!

[mpham]

Morning all! Checking in with nothing much to report.
Hot and humid here the last few days so not much is happening outside. Wife and I are still getting up early for our 3 mile walks.

Health wise we are both losing weight and I am down 50 lbs. from 2 years ago. She still has a few more to go but is right behind me.
We are on a Weight Watchers diet with no junk food and this is keeping my digestion issues almost non existent.
I haven't felt this good in years. Even my blood pressure is better!
No big jobs planned till weather cools and prices drop. We are both enjoying the retired life!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy! Enjoy the 4th celebrations!

good morning from West Kill NY
zero cell service here, even my Verizon mifi doesn't work.
He must have a dish on the roof since home wifi works.
Can't imagine living up here in basically middle of nowhere without it.

some pretty fog in the mountains this morning, will burn off when sun comes up
made myself a nice pot of coffee and enjoying the start of day.

The bed in this brand new house is brand new and I think it's one of those fancy foam ones, and geez was it hot last night. Had to throw the sheets off. Funny how you sure get used to your own sheets and bed.

Phil, that's marvelous news, congratulations. You must feel wonderful. I'm envious...

with no phone service, unless this house is on Sat dish, I'm wondering where the coverage is coming from. Aha, I spy a red communications tower in the far distance. It's not on top of the mountains but it is covering the valley here. Maybe

Good Morning.
Its 72 and likely to make it to 90 today under clear skies.

Yesterday was an energy conservation day, as often mentioned around GM. Puttered around a bit, no real accomplishments other than getting together with the band trying to get ready for a couple of July gigs.
Afterwards, wandered down to my sons and had some nice chicken off the grill. Did get the recorded files from the rehearsal loaded and a crude mix, so I could share the session with the band. It’s a great tool to figure out what (or who) needs work.

Then called it a night.

Today I’m going to fly with a friend’s student to do an evaluation to determine if he is ready for his private pilot check ride. These things are always interesting, as I never know what to expect. I suspect this one will go well, but we shall see.
After that, have to unload the wife’s car, it’s still packed up from the farmers market.

Then. BJ’s run is likely, no plans after that. Definitely be too hot to revisit the string trimming though. That’s a first thing in the morning task until it cools off.

67 going to 90.

Tried to see the planet alignment at 4:45am, but clouds tricked me, saw one and the moon.

BEF, I'd like to double date to that place. Meal sounds great.

Don, that's amazing they have so many options for vegans...if the food is as good as the photos, I could definitely enjoy. The interior of the ship looks huge.

Also, Eccles cake, Philly cheesesteak...So much food talk, I'm hungry now.

LS, I never really thought about how many hours per week, but do try to get into the mountains every week, and then do a couple of hikes here...so I guess 6 to 10 hours. I used to go to the YMCA gym 3 or 4 times a week, but they had to close during the crazy shutdown, so I got back into more frequent hikes.

Thomas, you might have to rename Little Boo, looks pretty big.

mpham, congrats on your weight loss and health improvement!

Buppies and Toppop, prayers for better health.

I pulled bind weed for 4.5 hours yesterday...what an invasive...makes kudzu growth rate look like moss. Made my wife happy when she got home and saw the 4 foot tall stack of vines I had piled up. But now my shoulders and back are unhappy. Mowed for an hour afterwards to cool off. We never had bindweed until 2 years ago.

Copied this from the Kansas State extension service...
Bindweed can form tangled mats, run along the ground, twist and twine around other plants, plus climb up and over all kinds of things. Each plant can produce up to 500 seeds that remain viable for 50 years. But, bindweed’s real strength is underground, where the vine’s roots grow deep into the ground, while also extending out far enough to reach from one landscape into neighbors’ yards. A break in or bud on those lateral roots can produce another plant.

Nasty stuff.

64F clear sky low 90's for high tad more humidity.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...check game cam,figure out why camcorder shows no SD card when there is one and won't record  bbq grilling later today....most of all keep low and cool from heat.

Enjoy your day all.
