Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.4C and it's presently 13.0C, overcast, gusting winds & steady rain; there was 18.0mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. It's a misty/fine rain, coming down in 'sheets' due to the wind. And, yes, this was predicted.

So, it's an 'inside' day. I'll probably do some dhobi as the tanks are full & being continually 'topped up'.

That's about it, take care all.

Somewhat ironically, there's a drive-in fairly up the road a bit from where that happened.

It's name is/was "The Corral"

Their signature burger was a large (like 8" wide) burger called ... (wait for it) ... The Nitemare ...

The Corral: A Tasty NiteMare

Good stuff.



Yeah ... I've driven through that general area plenty in my life ... and at night.

But I wouldn't make it practice to hang out there ... especially off the main drags.



Could be ... or it could be just another random act of senseless violence.

Somewhat emblematic of the larger gun culture that constitutes modern America. Sad.



It's not really downtown Akron ... more east side.

About 800' from Goodyear's World HQ campus.



Like many areas in America, there are good areas ... and then not-so-good areas.

Your opinion and your opinion only,
opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one and they all stink but mine.
Plus you can bet with the lack of news coverage that it was minority gangbangers.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Sounds like gang culture.

Got home from camping in early afternoon, and got everything unloaded and put away.
This week will be mowing , and shopping for larger mower for the farm fields.

Your opinion and your opinion only,

Sorry … but the “gun culture” doesn’t only encompass competitive shooting and hunting game for sport.

Both totally legitimate things BTW.

It includes Hollywood’s glorification of violence and the gun, minority gangbangers, and violent ideological radicals … like the guy who suicided himself by cop after trying some target practice at that FBI office down near Cincy …

Plus you can bet with the lack of news coverage that it was minority gangbangers.

Lack of news coverage ?

There is no lack of news that I can see … it was covered both nationally and locally.

Of course it didn’t make the 11 o’clock news here last night … since it happened after midnight.

 

[rswyan]

Sounds like gang culture.

Quite possibly.

Of course, at this point in time, gang culture and gun culture in America are inextricably intertwined to some extent.

RS, I have two lock-n-lube couplers and swear by them. I like 'em because now I don't have to hold the coupler on the nipple squarely. No leaks.

61 this morning high in 80s low 80s that is. Looks to be cool June on east coast. Not sure hurricane season will be as bad as they say, dust from Saraha may keep storms from developing and that would be good news.

Hope everyone has a great day

 

[ronjhall]

Cup of coffee is cooling. 52° with fog this morning. Heading to 79° with mix of sun and clouds. Ended up a neighbors helping change transmission filter and oil in his tractor. Never did get BBQ smoker started. Had dinner at their place. No more delaying. The ribs will get that done today. Did watch Detroit Grand Prix and NASCAR races. Will install new GFI's on power pole today. Then see waht else need to be done.
Last Peony popped out yesterday.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

54F partly cloudy mid 80's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time..
Boo show up last evening laid down on his blanket fell asleep.

Plans for today...Morning least 3 hours trimming than stop for critter food,afternoon mow the main lawn and kick back afterwards.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 58 and going up to a high of 79°F. Wind N 6 mph. Mainly cloudy.

Not sure what I am going to get up to today, but rest assured it wont be much.

Have a safe day all

 

[mpham]

I paid $370 last year, highest ever, with me picking them up.

Wow! At that price I would just say screw it and use the oil furnace. Less work for me and cheaper. With the new furnace we are getting this summer we are going to try just oil for November and December. If it is working cheaply I might be all done with pellets. Those bags are getting heavier every year! Getting harder for me to clean it every month also. We have an insert into the fireplace that needs to be pulled out for servicing.
Nice day in the forecast so will start the deck rail painting in another hour. Currently 62 and cloudy. Going to sunny low 80's.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

 

[riptides]

67 outside heading to lower 80's. Raine expected through out the day.

Had a road trip day yesterday. Spent the day with the in laws.

Somehow this w/e managed to get the pool open. Will take a few days to get the water right. At least it is open...needs serious concrete cleanup this year.

Hope all have a great start to the work week. Be safe.

 

[wngsprd]

67 to 84. Maybe rain.

70F partly cloudy sky.

Was productive day...grass trim under all spruce trees also front field,front and side field mow plus long banks on small stream trim tomorrow more trimming and mowing.
Small streams dry up brooks running low rain coming Wednesday least until Friday.

Time head out on the deck with smooth cigar and bottle ice water see what critter shows up.

Enjoy your evening all.

I've been wondering about smooth cigars...you hadn't mentioned that in a long time...but no bourbon?

 

[wngsprd]

Looks to be cool June on east coast. Not sure hurricane season will be as bad as they say, dust from Saraha may keep storms from developing and that would be good news.

I like the sound of that.

Roasted some new coffee yesterday...couldn't wait to taste one from Mexico...so having it now and it's delicious.

good Monday morning all
should be nice cloudy day up to mid 80's
nothing planned for today, so think I might drive down to Costco and try to stock up
on frozen food

nice peony Ron, bet it smells nice and somewhere there are ants nearby

hmmm, site will still not load my 3mb pics. I even saved them and renamed them and still
got error message too big for server.

 

[NHBX]

It’s not just you Drew, out of curiosity I just tried to load some pics as a test. Anything over 1mb wouldn’t load, same server msg. The whole site has been acting a bit wonky lately, could have something to do with pics upload (or not) lol.

I just read that North Korea is sending large balloons filled with trash over South Korea and dumping their trash on
their neighbors.
What's next, liquid manure cannons?...
pretty stupid behavior

thanks NHBX
I'll wait, too much work shrinking stuff down. Pics were taken on my regular camera and came off a SD disk .
can't even blame my phone on this one. But I'm able to email the pics just fine. 3mb is pretty small, mine usually come in just under 9.
that way you can zoom in and get detail. But I can understand from a server standpoint why this unlimited free storage buffet
can be a challenge.

if Admin tagged all my pics submitted over 12 years and totalled the size, I bet I'd get the hook.
since all servers back up and save backups, those pics are now somewhere forever.
one thing I believe I can safely say is I've never seen my pics here wind up anywhere else they shouldn't.
Photos can make you vulnerable.
I'll look/put up with all the advertising, just don't sell my info.
There's definitely connectivity since ads that show up here also involve stuff I've shopped on Amazon for.
But nothing in the other direction. All good. Thank you Muhammad.
do you think any of us are in witness protection?

that's one cute Sassy.
I'll try again
