Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Morning all, back from Europe.

I now know what happens to a car when rocks fall down a mountain in Switzerland.
Still waiting on the bill from the rental car company.

Big rock hits in front of us and explodes. then lots of rocks hit us.

i hit the gas and looked in the rear view mirror.

Person behind us stopped, rocks hit their car, bolder knocked off his roof rack, car sat their smoking.

Road closed and people behind him to help.

We could not get past the rocks behind us, so kept going, hoping we would not get hit more.
Windshield broken, large dents in the hood and scratches everywhere. Still had some rock bits attached to the car afterwards.

We are all ok and the rest of our trip was great.

Still catching up,

Very fortunate, Ken and thankfully you are OK.
Just before Christmas 2007, wife’s brother drove them into Hilo for some last minute grocery shopping. Weather had been quite rainy, being our wet season. Driving down the highway just before getting to Honomu a large boulder and some smaller ones came tumbling down. BIL unable to avoid, totaling his almost new pickup. Luckily neither him or my wife were injured, nor other vehicles involved. Also fortunately he had opted for Gap insurance just weeks before.

Still around, more later.

well that is sure excellent news
hope every day improves Randy.

should be another nice sunny summer day here. cool 60 out now going up to mid 80s.
wish I could send a little of this cooler weather to folks in Texas and NM.

need to do a little food shopping, then wash car.
Off this afternoon to see a British comedy Phantom of the Open at County theatre in Doylestown.
Theatre has been around forever, went there as a child, all renovated now

movie at 4pm, long time since I've seen a matinee film, then dinner at local Vietnamese restaurant.
Welcome home Buppies, back to work.

hope you all have a great start to the week.

83° for a low and going for 103° for a high today and no relief in sight for the foreseeable future. I've noticed lawns all over this area (including mine) are showing the effects of the heat and lack of rain.

I just noticed on my computer that I quit smoking 16 years ago today.

60 outside this AM. Heading to mid 80's. Grass needs attention today. Is like every other day it can be cut.
Worked on Milk house yesterday. After spending half the day shopping. Supplies and what not. Managed to get about 3/4's of the siding off one side and cleaned the framing. That was 100 years of bugs, bee and hornet nests and of course squirrels in there. No treasure was found. Will finish removing wood and run some new electric on that side today.
Hope all have a good start to the work week. Welcome home Ken and buppies. Be safe today in all activities.

Riptides, I love the patina on the roof. I'm guessing it leaks. Very cool what you are doing to restore.
Hope it's fun for you. Don't get stung. Don't breathe the dust.
You are creating your own treasure.

Good morning! 75˚F heading to the hundreds for the next ten days at least. Looks like the only thing that will bring heat relief and rain is a hurricane at this point.

Our monthly Park cedarcide has been canceled due to excessive heat.

Thanks for checking in Randy. Looks like we need to start working on an escape plan.

58° now highs in the mid to upper 80’s this afternoon. Dew point 54° a nice morning again. Humidity cranking up as the day goes on.

Need to take a grocery and beer trip this morning then do some mowing this afternoon when the back yard gets in the shade. I had mentioned no veggie garden this year so naturally the mrs went to a local nursery that was closing for the season to pick up some herb plants and brought home some overgrown tomato plants for free. Weeded a few whiskey barrels and planted those. When I came in there were packets of summer squash and cuke seeds on the table. Weeded the rest of the barrels and wash tub containers and planted a “container garden” we’ll see what happens lol.

@Mostly - yes the trimmer got a good workout.

Hanging baskets wifey got from same nursery last month.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Prayers for those in need, our country and peace around the world

Beautiful flowers NHBX

Thanks for checking in Randy. Looks like we need to start working on an escape plan.

Prayers toppop.

Good morning all. Another nice coolish day, with rain coming tonight.

Finally got the Pontoon boat in the water. Wife insisted we do it with her 4Runner, so she could boast how “macho” it was.

 

[daugen]

that looks like a lot of fun Check. Nice rig. Please tell your wife a hundred guys were seriously impressed.

food shopped, salmon came down two dollars a pound, that was good to see.
Then home to water all the plants and when doing the veggie garden spotted a bumper crop of Golden egg squash.

even though last time I finally got the lock n lube fitting on problem mower zerk, decided to experiment with other
style fittings. This seems like a pretty good value for the price.

Good morning to all! Low was 65°, going up to around 90° again. Hopefully the front coming across will trip some shower activity tonight / tomorrow.

Randy, good to hear from you, hope you're doing ok.

Buppies, sorry the beach life came to an end.... hopefully another vacation soon....

Drew, that was a bumper crop for sure! Did you get the 50 hr service done?

Check, tell the wifey that her 4Runner did so well that she is in charge of getting the boat in and out from now on..... see how well that goes over....
Definitely a nice setup!

NHBX, nice flowers. Thanks for sharing.

Today's agenda is to finish taking the trimmer for a walk. Hopefully, won't take too long or wear me out first.... I have to stop trying to time /plan everything out to the minute..... I need to just 'go with the flow'. Hard to break old habits.

Everyone have a great day and start to the week!

Just thought I'd start a Good Morning thread. Dry, and headed into the low 60's here in S. Michigan. Have a good one!!

Mornin, 87° with an expected high of 105° here in Ellis County Texas!

Morning all, playing catch up with weeds and refinishing the pool bar.
Already got it sanded down and first thin coat on
The last two winters caused it to flake a bit so will do at least one more thicker coat.

Sorry to hear about Evey PJS-

Still catching up on the posts all,

How about some July snow for those in the heat, from the Eiger Mountains.

Morning to all;
It's going to be a lazy day for me, hopefully. Been busy working with my "electrician" redo the electrical in my kitchen and living room, adding ceiling fans and 3way switches and new lighting, adding fixed lighting in the crawl space part of the basement and receptacles thats a 34 x 40 area about 4' of height. Added 3 new circuits only 3 more new ones for the kitchen to go. Going to take it easy today and then start varnishing the knotty pine 1x8's for the ceiling, going to give them a good coating before installing, hopefully just a few touch ups once it's installed.

daugen;
I happened across this video this morning and thought of your trailer moving issues.
This guy does quite the build for a trailer mover.
