Afternoon! had a real super-duper toad strangler last night, 5" overnight in a lot of the area. Had to take the long way to work this morning....and coming home too. 30 minute detour on the mail route. No Wed. Church tonight for us, Highway department is replacing a bridge on one route, the other 2 reasonable ways are flooded or washed out. Getting tired of the liquid sunshine.

Got Sue off to Milwaukee this morning. Had to have her at the airport by 5:00 AM, thankfully the airport is only 15 min. from the house.
Almost 80 right now, headed for 96.
The cats and I are takn’ the rest of the day off. May go get some pizza for supper tonight.
-
Thanks for the Cawffee. I picked up Moose at the airport yesterday afternoon. We had an early supper and drove home. Victoria was happy to have her Momma home. We slept in, We had our morning Cawffee on the Patio. It was overcast and a little wind. It felt nice and the Cawffee tasted great.

Hello the fire. It has been awhile since I passed through. Still dealing with the wife's neck problem, will know in the next two weeks if she has to undergo surgery. She feels pretty good while wearing the brace but it doesn't appear to be healing. She is scared she will come out of surgery paralyzed. Between work and getting things done that Liz can't and having the daughter and grandkids underfoot it seems like there aren't enough hours in the week to keep up.
Haven't been to a shoot in I can't remember when, I haven't even had time to catch up with Arcey for some chili dogs. I am going to have to take some mental health days sometime soon and just do something fun. The grandkids are in the 4H shooting club, doing archery, and the youngest won a medal at her first District match. Older one has a birthday this weekend and continues to remind me why teenagers are aggravating.
Hope all here are doing well, I will try to check in more often.
-
Hey Tom,good to see ya here.
-
Moose is at the grocery store to get stuff to make chicken fajitas for supper tonight, with nachos and Frozen Margaritas.
-
good to hear from you , LIT ... haven't heard from Arcey lately either, Fledgling season is over and he flew the coup :)
-
Maybe he got carried away! :o :o :o
Good yo hear from you,LIT ::)
-
Sue made it to Milwaukee in fine shape, United didn’t screw anything so far.
Got the pizza for supper.
Things have clouded up and we’re getting lightning and thunder, but no real rain yet. It did a pretty good job of dumping water the other day on the other side of the valley. Caused some mudslides and minor street flooding.
Glad to hear from you, LIT.
-
Mornin' everyone! Nobody's up yet so I'll start a pot. Must be everyone is starting the holiday already.... Technically I'm off, but I been training a new guy all week, soooo..... I'll be going in soon to make sure he gets out on the route in good time.
-
I slept in this morning. I've got some errands to run. I've got to go to Sam's to pick up a few things, I dread dealing with the crowds. I'm gonna try and get out there early and avoid most of the crowd. Moose is watering the back yard and Patio. Lots of strong Cawffee this morning, no plans for Breakfast. I am planning on grilling Burgers on the Patio, with baked beans, chips, and potato salad.
-
Holiday is in swing, I'm off till Tuesday.... no real plans ....my go launch some lead
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
I'll be praying for your wife, Tom.
Got a fire started for cooking a pork loin in the dutch oven for lunch.
'Tis 68 and sunny. High of 79.

-
Remember lots of coals on top and few if any on the bottom. Start with them heavy on top and only add the bottom at the end if you need to hurry it. Should have sent you some of Liz's rub. ;)
-
TLD, I went in to WalMart after I finished my short day at work, was like a zoo in there. Hope your trip to Sam's was better. Wife's birthday today, picked up a cake and some ice cream.
-
We have not gone yet, I am waiting on my wife to get ready. I am going to sit in the car and let her go in.
-
The Sam's experience was not too bad. We grabbed a late lunch out and finished up at Albertsons. We are back home and the groceries have been brought in. It is time for a nap.
-
We’ve had a few storm cells move though this afternoon. Had a little lightning, thunder, but no rain.
I’m all set for the weekend, shopping wise, but if something comes up I’ll hit Wally World about 2 or 3 in the morning. It’s only about 5-10 minutes away, and at that time the employees outnumber the customers about 2 to 1, and I get to park right by the door.
Have taken over patio watering duties along with some flowerbeds that need more than the three days a week that the sprinklers come on.
Tonight I’ll finish off the pizza. Tomorrow it’s grilled steak, grilled corn on the cob and baked tater.
-
Took a direct hit from lightning , blew a big hunk of bark of the huge oak out front...
I saw it hit ....ZANG
Power was out 2 hours ....zapped the DEVO box maybe the TV too & the landline phone is toast .... satellite was scrambled but is reset now....
Internet router is OK .... smoked the kitchen fixture light bulb though ....
-
Maj
That's a lot closer than I'd ever like to be to a lightning strike! Hope everyone is ok!
-
That's closer than I've ever experienced, or ever want to. Glad it's only some electronics and an oak tree that got toasted.
Did some Independence Day Eve celebrating, with an M-1 and an SKS.
-
Wow, the picture posting worked! I've had trouble on this site posting pics before.
-
We only had a 20 % chance of rain, which amounted to a few drops of rain on the windshield. The weather folks are saying a 20 % chance today as well. I had the 0100 plumbing check and back for another nap, prolly till about 0300.
-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking this morning. A happy 4th of July wishes to everyone at Cascity. I've got some Date-nut bread to go with the Cawffee.
-
No injures , but the tree and it is about 15' from the house...
Both satellite boxes are scrambled , the a for mentioned DEVO box is toast and the den box ( normal box) has 1/2 the channels wiped out.
-
M2, I am glad that you are okay, I am sorry about the damage to the electricity and the Satellite. We have a 20% chance of rain today. It sprinkled a little, just enough to wet the windshield.
-
Wow! Close call,M2 :o That stuff really packs a punch ::)
Sunny and 69 here at the moment. Got the rounds done and will be going to our son's camper for a bit today. Will have to be back to close the pool this evening,though. Playing at church tomorrow, and then a concert on Tuesday evening ::)
-
Had to contact Direct TV they will send a replacement HDTV DEVO ....it was after that we realize the other box was screwed.
Call Direct TV again, this time we got some IDIOT girl ....she had us chasing down the SS# searching for a nonexistence reset button
, claim a Tech had to come out. " its not reading the same error as the other box" ...No ! because it just a box not a DEVO ...
It only allowing 1/2 the channels ....besides it matters not as we have ....the protection plan.
We don't need wait till Tues for a tech to tell us we need new a box , and wait a week for one to ship ! JUST SHIP A DAM BOX !
I don't know where they get these inbred Jr. High dropouts ..." OH ! they both were struck by lightning ? "
NO (stupid) .... your Direct TV HDTV DEVO was hit by lightning , the other Direct TV box died of " loneliness & fright" ! ::)
Land line battery phone is also toast... I'll buy another today ...
-
M2, I hope you have Cell service. I am glad that the lightning strike did not catch your house on fire. I hope things will be okay for the rest of the weekend. We had some fresh fruit to go with the Date-nut bread. I made a fresh pot of Cawffee. We enjoyed our food on the Patio. It was overcast with a little breeze.
-
M2 I’m surprised she didn’t tell you make sure it was plugged in.
May have to bring out the drover coat to grill the steak tonight. 60% chase of thorms this afternoon and evening. Guess I’ll be eating in, instead of on the patio. That will tick off the cats as they won’t get the extra outside time.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
Glad nobody was hurt, Major 2.
The pork loin turned out well.
Having brats and baked beans for lunch.
I'm lube sizing .454 boolits.
Found out my new High Standard GI model 1911-A1 has a tighter chamber than my other 1911's, so my cast reloads won't chamber in it. I'll have to seat the boolits a bit deeper.
'Tis 74, partly sunny, and humid. High of 82.

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Major E A,
Timely, considering some of what is going on within the Government these days.
And I must say, well done on this Nations Birthday.
My best,
Blair
-
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
and
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!
-
My English friend and I have had some fun with this today.
-
I know most Americans have no idea (nor do they care) why the "Union Jack of 1704 Act of Unification" evolved.
Most Brits know (I think). But I do wonder sometimes? if the Brits are as ignorant as we Americans are of our history?
My best,
Blair
-
We may not get the rain we were expecting, lighting included, for the fireworks displays tonight.
This is good, especially regarding the lighting issues!
Rain or not, the fireworks will go off. With a lot of lighting, the fireworks will be suspended.
The bombs/rockets will tend to attract lighting strikes.
You all have a Happy, and safe National Birthday.
My best,
Blair
-
I am still waiting on that 20% chance of rain. We dined on the patio, the Burgers, Baked beans, and Potato salad all turned out great. We got a little wind, which made it pleasant outside.
-
The rain did not arrive last night. They had a big fireworks display at Lone Star park. We were able to watch it from our front yard. We went to bed about 11:00 pm, and the fireworks lasted till after midnight. The Cawffee and Hot water are ready this morning.
-
It looks like the rain will non-existent next week. It's either a flood or a drought around here. It is still cool on the Patio, at least for Breakfast, then for Supper, after the sun goes down. I bought another old Smith revolver on line, A Model 1 1/2, in 32 Rimfire. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
-
I wonder where all the rain went! Ours didn’t show up yesterday either. Just overcast and cool.
Got the cooking, eating, and cat outdoor time all in. (They had a high ol’ time chasing bugs in the back lawn as it got dark. Happy cats).
-
Ribs turned out fine, Crock pot in a bed of onions & french onion soup ....Mrs. Dash Rub & BBQ sauce fell off the bone good.
Firework galore ...We have a neighbor, a couple ranches over who does Fireworks display's up proud.
New Years, Memorial Day and the 4th. he always has the stuff of the big shows.
Does, freak out the animals though....
-
Ground launched Firework displays are well known for attracting air to ground lighting strikes during thunder storms in this area.
I am glade to see that most of the thunder storms had passed by the time the fireworks started.
It made foe a much safer 4th of July for everyone.
My best,
Blair
-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking. Enjoy!
-
I grilled some smoked sausage on the Patio last night, with some leftover potato salad and Baked beans. It all turned out good.
-
Got up about 2:40 AM to wring out , flipped on the Firecracker 400 just to see if they were still circulating ...
Saw the WREAK :o glad the kid is OK , Hendricks HAVE's chalk up another....
The down side I'm tired ...had a rough time going back to bed , up side is I'm off today.
-
I am glad you are off today, M2. I pickup my Smith 32 rim fire this afternoon. I am using a different FFL, this one is cheaper and I get a discount for having a CCW permit.
-
You must have a bulging collection of belly guns by now. I'd like to see it when I'm out there in October.
-
I will try and bring as many as I can. I plan on getting my 1903 Colt 32acp re blued and carry it in a holster as back up for my 1911.
-
I picked up the Smith Model 1 1/2 a couple of hours ago. It is nicer looking than the picture of it. I am very happy. The transfer was quick and easy. I will be using this guy again.
-
Afternoon y'all.
The kids gave me a cold. So, I stayed home today and sleep. I awake an hour ago and ate lupper. Now, I'm gonna load .44 WCF and listen to an audio book by Charles King.
'Tis 80 and overcast. Might get rain later.

-
I am fixing Santa Fe rice and beans, Nachos, and a salad for Suppef tonight. Lots of cold, Adult beverages too.
-
Got Sue off to Milwaukee this morning. Had to have her at the airport by 5:00 AM, thankfully the airport is only 15 min. from the house.
Almost 80 right now, headed for 96.
The cats and I are takn’ the rest of the day off. May go get some pizza for supper tonight.
Used to be 5 - 15 minutes from Ontario airport when we lived in California... never lived anywhere more than a few minutes away since we got married. Now the nearest commercial airline is 96 miles away and the little local one doesn't have any passenger service.
Good thing I don't need to fly anywhere any more.
Had a bit of trouble getting used to the quiet, but it's okay now.
-
Quiet is nice.
Slim
-
We are in the glide path of D/FW airport, so we hear airplanes all the time and helicopters from the Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth.
-
We get some high fliers, commercial stuff heading North to parts unknown.
on occasion we see a Big job turning in of final for OIA, depending on the wind, kinda low.
We see the War Birds fly over during Sun'n' Fun and the Kissimmee Air Show.
a few year ago I was out back, A MiG-33 complete with camo paint streaked literately overhead at low level
followed a few minutes later by 2 US fighters ...now that's something you just don't see everyday around here....
I did some questioning , found the MiG was a defectors gift and the 3 were running maneuvers down to the Sebring bombing range...
don't know if they were hot runs, but that's were they said they were headed .
-
Kinds noisy here in central Mo-I can hear the trains passing by several times a day (if I'm outside), tracks come within 3-4 miles of the house. Sometimes I can hear the nearest neighbor when he mows the grass. And the traffic's been pretty heavy on the road in front of my house, people are using it for a detour because of some bridge construction nearby. Probably doubled the normal traffic count of 20-25 cars a day..... ;D
I am on the regular flight path for A-10s heading over to Ft Wood to do practice runs, also the occasional C-130 or Blackhawk goes over. Once I looked up to see a pair of B-52s waaaay up there.
-
Morning y'all.
Coffee is hot.
Got just enough rain to settle the dust. Tornado hit 30 miles north.
'Tis 52 and overcast. High of 72.
Slim
-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking this morning. Enjoy! M2, My Dad was at Eglin Field, going thru Pilot training, while the Doolittle Raiders were practicing their take-offs. He was unaware of this till after the Raid. His outfit was a re-organized group that Doolittle now commanded as a One Star. Dad was shipped to North Africa in Nov. 42.
-
About all I get is I'm on the flight path for the Life Flight.
-
TL,
I am always amazed to see those light bombers deck launch from the carrier with room to spare.
Of course, the 50 to 55 knot wind speed over the deck (what with wind speed from the the storm and speed of the ship) help a lot.
This kind of air speed could not be duplicated while practicing ashore, and the Navy could not count on anymore air speed than the ships 28 to 30 knot speed.
My best,
Blair
-
I know that my Dad was proud to be a member of the Unit. I am a member of the 57th Bomb Wing, which he was a member. They had a reunion in Dallas last October, which I was able to attend. We had 9 WW2 vets from units of the 57th wing. It was neat to meet them.
-
The afternoon clouds finally decided to release a little bit of moisture last evening. Only about .02 of an inch, but it went on for about 20 min. Happen just as I was about to do patio watering, so I considered it mission accomplished. The preceding lightning and thunder placed the cats in unknown places, but it didn’t last for long. Did get the lawn mown in the morning before it got a chance to turn into hay.
Reno/Tahoe International sits at the floor of the valley, so it’s almost 1000 ft. below our place. We’re about 5 miles east of the approach path, which runs north/south, so we never hear airline traffic. About the only low level traffic to RNO we get are C-130’s from the Nevada Air National Guard.
-
Spaghetti and Meatballs, Salad, and Garlic bread are on the Menu for Supper tonight. Moose is n charge of the preparation. It has been overcast all day and now we have some wind. It should be okay to eat on the Patio. The weather folks are predicting a 50 percent chance of rain about midnight.
-
The fly boys (WI Air National Guard) from Volk Field do training missions over the house. Volk Field is 71 miles west.
Slim
-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking. Enjoy! We did not get our rain overnight. The evening meal on the Patio last was good and the weather was pleasant.
-
Raining(again) this morning.
-
Got almost two inches of it yesterday evening here ::)
61 and clouds here now. Keys to the kingdom day ::)
-
We are still under flood warnings, but the yards need rain. It sprinkled last night, just enough to wet the Patio.
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
'Tis 45 and sunny. High of 74.
Slim
-
we got a soaking yesterday over 2" in 3 hours, many ground lightning hits close but no cigar ( I wasn't in the cross hairs this time goody )
looking at a High of 96, Humidity 98%
Did BBQ meatballs in the big Red one... first try, I'll give it a 9 on scale of 1-10, defiantly a repeat attempt will be in order.
-
M2, The meatballs sound good..
-
Had another .02 in. of rain yesterday evening. Seemed like it should have been a lot more the way it came down. Supposed to continue the pattern of clear mornings turning to cloudy, thunder, lightning then rain in the midafternoon. Tomorrow’s daytime high is supposed to bottom out at about 72 then start a slow climb to the high 80s over the next week.
-
The weather folks are predicting a 100% chance of rain today. No clue for Lunch or Supper.
-
Around here they don't predict 100% chance of rain unless you stick your hand out the front door and it gets wet. That's only 50%, you have to repeat the process out the back door and if it gets wet, then it's 100%.
-
I get my predictions from the Weather Channel. I have 9 hours of Meteorogy in college Credit. I do pretty well at my own Predictions. Moose is bringing home our Supper meal. It will be a surprise!
-
I bought a Meteorogy rock 100% accurate every-time...
I check it daily , if is wet its raining, Cold its a Cold front, Hot its sunny...its uncanny how accurate it is
the amazing thing is ...if you can't see it..... good chance its a fogging day and by God it will be ! :o
-
Moose brought us some grilled chicken salads for supper, and they were real tasty. It is time for another nap.
-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready this morning. Enjoy!
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
'Tis 49 and sunny. High of 80.

-
We had some Toast and fresh fruit with our Cawffee on the Patio. It is still overcast, with a little wind. It will soon be too warm to stay outside. I got the mowing done on Tuesday.
-
I have retired to the back bedroom for a nap.
-
Yesterday’s afternoon’s rain came through and left almost 1/3 of an inch in the rain gauge. Some more thunder and lightning and disappearing cats accompanied it. Supposed to have tonight and Friday and Saturday continuing the process. Hope it holds off tomorrow long enough to get the crab legs on the grill. If not I’ll make my “wife’s away” Outback Steak House excursion, and have the legs next week.
-
Working a coupla hours later tonight , decide to treat myself to Red Lobster . I have the backside of my $100 gift card to use.
Rain now may taper off by 6 PM
-
Mornin, all. Coffee's on the back of the stove, breakfast about done, almost time for work!
Rained last night(big surprise there) Weather guessers are saying next week a high pressure will push out all this rain and leave us normal July weather..... we'll see.....

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. Rainfall is non-existent for the next week or so. I did not get much sleep last night. I am going to try and take a nap.
-
tried to call you Jim, wanted to touch base with you about 2016 Muster

We were having breakfast on the Patio.
-
Yesterday’s rain slipped right over us and landed in the valley. Decided not to risk the crab legs tonight, so I’ll be heading to Outback for steak and a tail. I’ll do the legs next week, when I can enjoy them on the patio.
-
Rained this morning, got things done between the drops ::)
Yesterday was break-down day. SIL's 'puter had to go to the shop, we had to exchange the cable box( dang thing didn't last two months >:(), then the dish washer took a crap. Left me in a sour mood ::) ::) :-\ :P
-
Roger that ! Buck
two cable boxes & a new Flat screen later ..we still only get 1/2 the programmed channels , so it must be the Dish too...
Tech. is coming out Sunday so they say...
Still need a land line remote phone.... and replace the 4 - 8' Florescent tubes out in the garage .... ::)
the lightning hit did a number on us
-
OOooooo, 8 footers.......pricey! They're doing away with the one type of flourescents that we were using here. Fixtures were changed out in the clubhouse/barn this spring. These use the smaller diameter(T-8?) tubes. We've got 8 footers in the sewer plant building, one of those is out,IIRC ::) ::)
-
I did not get around to eating anything for Lunch. No clue for Supper either.
-
We had take out pizza for supper last night. The Cawffee and Hot water are ready to drink. Enjoy!
-
I went back to bed and slept till 10:30 am. Moose fixed bacon and eggs for a late breakfast on the Patio. I am ready for another nap.
-
Got a call about 8, Mr and Mrs Pitspiter were in town, met them for breakfast, did some talking and planning for the 2016 muster.
-
Just realized it's afternoon, I have writers block for now and I haven't POed anyone yet today, gonna go read an hour or so and think about both.
Need to go work some more on cleaning the fence line out, but a heat warning for this afternoon and I ate to much. The ate to much is what worries me, the heat I can handle. ;)
-
Shooting buddy of mine and I, went to HOOTERS , 10 Med. Wings & fried Dills later, I'm in a happy place :)
Jessica wasn't hard to look at either ;) Though I didn't really study her face all that much ! as opposed to other attributes.
Home now , and just realizing there's not a " lecherous old man smiley icon " :-*

Still a little fire in the furnace,M2?
Del, I mowed mine and got it trimmed. Sweated my arse off,too :P
Still a have a date with a cranky flugle horn. Needs a bath and a good flossing( actually a set of brushes). Those valves can still be problematic in spite of the Del supplied honing material. Chinese machining can be soooo frustrating at times ::) :P :-\

Been working out on it an hour or so, came in for electrolytes and hydration, am a bit wet, temp is 95 and HI is about 105. ::) Running at the top of the military pee chart so I'm fine. LOL

Cleaning out my truck. Smells like a dead mouse in there, but I can't find the body anywhere-hope it's not behind a panel somewhere.
-
Had to pull out the toolbox/tire tool storage container from behind the seat, stinky little critter was under there. Of course, most of the nuts under the floor turned, and had to hold them with a vise grips, and one had to be chiseled off....grrrr >:( Truck smells better already....

We had chicken fajitas and cheese nachos for Supper, and we ate on the Patio. The food was great and we had adult beverages to wash the fajitas and nachos down.

Went to a family reunion today. 2 hour drive. The highlight for the 3 kids that went was the helicopter ride. The pilot is my dad's 80 year old cousin. I'll see if I can post the video.

Rant here ... >:(
Direct TV ... waited all week for Tech to show up today @ 8 -10 AM ...he arrives a 1:30 PM - 3 1/2 hours late
Can't figured it out, is on his phone to someone the whole time he's here Moron doesn't know whats wrong , say's it the wires ::) he tried them pulling out !
He has 12' or more feet pulled , and we see the new Flat Screen & box he's been working on inside almost fall to the floor... we grab the inside wires , and yell stop pulling ! you almost pull the TV off the bookcase .
" Oh ! he said I didn't know it was still attached" ..... DUDE you just attached it !
So now we have , wires hanging off the Roof , 12 or more feet pulled from the crawl space scattered on the lawn
and still attached to the boxes inside
and all directions disconnected from the splinter box ....looks like spaghetti ::)
I ask him , do you have clue what you are doing ? ....I told him call and get someone here to that does !
He claims he did ...and someone is coming .... Bull !
He leaves ...we call Direct TV ...another Tech. come's out tomorrow 8 AM here we go again
DIRECT TV Service SUCKS !
-
From 1 Major to another,If you have Dish network available tell direct to pound sand and switch,I've had Dish for over 10 years and never had a problem with service when needed.They're cheaper than direct too.
-
+1
-
We got Direct here, because that's the one that offers the Philippine network the wife wanted, Dish carried the wrong network. I don'tthing we have ever had to call them for anything, but then we never had lightning strike in the yard, either. I never watch it anyway, kids watch cartoons and she watches Philippine stuff a few tomes a week.
Now the satellite internets, THAT'S a whole different story......
I can say for certain, the day that ANYONE gets a fiber optic cable anywhere close enough to my house to get high speed internet, will be the day I call Excede (who did not exceed my expectations) to come get their junk.....
-
We had cable and the company was sold and changes names & logos so often you need a handbook, just to know your provider of the month was.... literately 7 different providers in one year ::) same equipment , same crap....
Fired them, and got Direct in 2004 , had 4 rooms set up with boxes .... all wiring was run in 5' (foot) crawl space
and up into 3 bedrooms & the Kitchen ....this it the wiring the MORON was trying to pull out from
the outside ...never detaching anything inside :o
nearly pulled the brand new flat screen off on the floor , we yelled for him to stop !
HE said " Oh I did know it was still attached ! " WTH ! you were just inside and connected the new boxes ... what do you mean you didn't know they were still attached ....
I told the IDIOT, "call your boss and get someone that has clue what he's doing, out here now ! "
IDIOT mumbled " he has been on the phone with his boss ", to my wife.
I said , call him back ...NOW , he tried to mumble something and I cut him off " DO IT NOW ! " can you at least handle that ?
We already were on the line to CS @ Direct TV ourselves at this point...
We'll see, they're suppose to be here @ 8 AM this morning , that's 15 min. from now and we've had no call they are coming >:(
-
Good luck with that, M2! The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking, Enjoy!
-
That first cup went fast, It may be a 2 pot morning. Breakfast to follow later.
-
Up and running...turned out to be a in line Bandwidth box & a cable all above the floor ::)
DIP STICK was gonna be ripping out cables.... If Direct TV is smart they'll send this yahoo packing... :-\ they won't though, I'll bet !
-
You can't fix STUPID! I had some Raisin Bran and a Bagel with Cream Cheese for Breakfast. It is time for another nap.
-
The weather has dried back up around here. No rain for the foreseeable future.
Made the crab legs on the grill along with corn on the cob last night. The cats and I dined on the patio.
Trying to decide if I should mow the lawn this afternoon or hold off until Wednesday. I’m leaning toward Wednesday as it’s only the front part that is turning towards hay.
-
Evening y'all.
Took to kids to camp. Left at 11:30 AM. Got back at 10:25 PM. ::)
I'll post some pics of the bridge across the Chippewa River we drove on.

Maj EA, hope you get over that soon.
Rain's gone from here-now it's just another mid 90's day in the Ozarks-what was it we were complaining about the weather last week?

Hope the Meds break those up Major , and you're on the mend.
Back at work today, after the satellite fiasco .... took the new guy 3 hours to restore all the damage the IDIOT did ::)

The IDIOT was there 3 hours Sunday to establish the mayhem.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. Major, I feel your pain with the Kidney stones. I just finished mowing the yards this morning before it got hot. Now, for a long nap.

Got ambitious this morning and decided to clean and polish the wood floors (kitchen, dining, hall and den). Surprisingly my back isn’t bothering me.
Tomorrow’s it’s the green flooring outside the house. It’ll wait until midafternoon. Even though it might be a bit warmer, but the humidity will only be about 20% and the hay in the front will have a chance to dry out.
Planning on beef brisket, baked ‘tater and garlic bread for supper on the patio tonight. Once it gets toward dark there should be a passel of bugs in the lawn for the cats to flush out.
-
Working on cleaning inside, got to 110 HI yesterday and going there today, cooling tomorrow, gonna haul brush out.

Well I got the back & side pastures mowed....Guy just charges $75 more than fair.

Rain and thunder bumpers are starting to move in.
Low temps for tonight are being called for at about 75. That will make sleeping (without AC) quite comfortable.

The clean up afterwards was probably some heavy work,Del :o
65 and light showers here. Keys to the kingdom day. We got the water service hooked up on the new "sales" office yesterday. Area around that one is a mud pit with all this rain we've had. Got the areas around the barn/club house mowed as well as the sewer plant mowed in the afternoon before the rain started. Ran back to the storage barns in the rain, though ::)
-
I had some raisin bran and a bagel for Breakfast and finished off my pot of Cawffee. I am ready for a Nap.

Cloudy and 87 right now. Took the day off to get my eyes re-checked, the new prescription just wasn't working. The truck goes in for an oil change this afternoon and we're supposed to get heavy rain tonight ans tomorrow. t's been a wet Summer so far
-
Brisket came out fine. Bugs came out fine for the cats. Samantha just huddled as her normal black furry mass in the middle of the yard, but Jake was a yellow streak back and forth from one end of the yard to the other ( I think he stomped on his sister a couple of times in the process.
Decided the grass was dry enough to mow it this morning. Now I get to relax and think about a nap.

Thanks.... picked up a bacon egg & cheese hoagie at WAWA 's should hold me till dinner
"SHE" is traveling today , I on my own best behavior ;) meal acquisition wise ;)
interesting evening last night Sheriff Helicopter with its search light blazing and Cop cars, all with light flashing
All shining their spots in my pastures and around my barn. The front gate was closed so they did drive in.
Then after about 40 minutes of this, two firetrucks arrived.
Enough was enough so we call the Sheriff and ask WTH ! they said they were longing for guy that beat his girlfriend.
Told us to lock our doors & windows ... they want to know had we seen anyone ?
We had not but then its large area and many trees & cover... I checked the barn ..NADA
never knew if the caught him

Settled on grilled hot dogs for supper tonight.
Planning on homemade Hooter’s wings with fries for tomorrow night. There is a 20% chance of rain around supper time, so I thought I’d cook inside.

We slept in today. We had to take the Cadillac to the dealership for a complete brake job yesterday. We got some Tex-Mex for supper. Moose had to take a friend to the airport for a flight this morning. I missed out on the Cawffee this morning.

Sewer line is now in. Started raining just after we finished,though ::)
-
The bill for the brake job was expensive and hopefully this will cure the brake issues. Moose plans on trading it off after the first of the year. I fixed some chicken Quesadillas for lunch and they turned out good. Take-Out pizza for supper tonight.

Everything on a Caddy is expensive ....I traded my CTS @ 65,000
Nice car but the Stealers will bleed you.... with $95 oil changes etc.

We had breakfast on the Patio this morning, Cold cereal and an English muffin. I came inside and took a nap. I didn't have lunch, I slept through it. I am thinking about grilled burgers tonight, with chips, potato salad, and baked beans.

Lunch was nothing I considered earlier ....wound up at Firehouse Subs and a turkey bacon ranch later I was full ...
I'm still full ....
Kato has found a really good hide for his nap, I hunted him and he didn't reveal by showing up for a Cat Treat ...
He showed a few hours later from some room unknown :-\ I was in the Kitchen and turned around and there he was like he been there the whole time...

My male cat is like that! I’ll go on a Jake hunt, and not find hide nor fur of him (and I keep adding hiding spots whenever I run across a new one) but I’ll check every spot and still when I come back into the same room, there he sits with his “were you looking for me?” expression on his face.
Got the wife safely back! UAL didn’t lose her on the way home. Still planning on chicken, taters and corn for supper. Dining will be on the patio! Cat’s still aren’t sure if they forgive her for disappearing for 2 weeks, but I’m sure they will join us.

Excitement around the Pony Express farmstead tonight. Was trying in vain to hack down foot tall crabgrass with the riding mower, wife comes running out motioning to come over- seems as she was about to go into the well house, a small copperhead was coming out. She thought it was huge, bigger than the water hose. Turned out to be about 16-18 inches long, not huge, but big enough! By the time we located it, it was trying to hide(also in vain) in a patch of daylilies and other ground cover plants. final score: Shovel-1, Snake-0.

Garden of Eden it too, had it's serpents ;) glad you found it, before it found your wife, a child or pet !
Rain in the forecast....beyond that, same thing different day.

I got the yards mowed this morning. I am cooling off and thinking about breakfast. No clue for Supper tonight. We have overcast and cooler temps. A good day for mowing.

I was looking at my lawn this morning, and thinking it needs a haircut already! Maybe tomorrow if it dries out early enough.
Today was one of our watering days, but I’m thinking about turning off the evening cycle. We’re turning into heavy overcast and thunder, so we may get some natural watering this afternoon.
Don’t have to cook tonight, but thinking about chicken and cheese casserole for supper tomorrow night. Now that she who still works is back, I need to get back into my normal schedule.

chicken salad stuffed avocado for dinner ....cool & tasty

When in the south entrance ..left by the North entrance, get a call from one of my carpenters ( "he's under the weather and won't be in"...so I'm distracted ::)
Walk to my SUV electronically unlock it several feet away , open the door and about get in when I see a green coffee cup...WTH I don't have green coffee cup..where that come from...look around and it not my SUV
Near identical maybe messier ...but not mine , and I'm 1/2 way in DoH !
Mine is in the next row over , it lights on showing I just key-less open it , I figure the other one was just left open.
Glad I didn't get caught.
I guess the next milestone in life, will be when I forget where I parked the dam thing ::)

Don’t have that “where did I park it?” at the local HD, but there is something about the parking structure at Reno/Tahoe airport! I swear when I park there to pickup “she who still works”, the structure moves my 4-Runner two or three rows back and shifts it several stalls over.

Get a purple 4WD pick-up, hard to lose in the parking lot, remember, if you drive wife's black suv thing, they all look alike. ;D

The few times I have taken the wife’s white Mitsubishi when she’s out of town, I first have to quit looking for the 4-Runner, then have to start going through all the mid-sized, white four door cars that seem to own the parking lots around here!
Think she might notice if I put a big purple X on the roof of her car?

I recall so many years ago , the local FM Rock radio station, offered " tenna toppers"
Day- glo Orange Styrofoam ball for you cars telescope antenna , the idea A. advertise WFUN Radio and B. help you see your car in a sea of a parking lot.....
Little fricking good it did...everyone got them before long , and every antenna sported one !
But in my case early this morning , the SUV was exactly my same model & color.... and I was distracted enough by the phone call,
I just assume it was mine.... ::)

There care sooo many black hamsters running around now, that we have to be extremely careful in the parking lot anymore ::) :o
I was working myself,up at normal time just didn't get a chance to get on here.Mowed and trimmed again today. Was on my own, Boss had to take his better half to Stat-Care. Seems she either got stung or bit by a spider. Twice no less, her had is swollen pretty bad ::)

Wife's car is a charcoal gray Trailblazer. Currently the most common car on the planet, it seems. Common enough that I actually know the license number, just to be on the safe side. A few years ago, I had a silver Taurus, would have been just as bad, except I used it on the mail route, so it was always the dirtiest car on any parking lot.

Today is National Hotdog Day at Sonic. Chili Dog and All-American Dog are $1. I went down and bought some for Lunch. Victoria enjoyed the Dogs. We had not had any Sonic Dogs in a long time. Supper is undecided for tonight. We are officially in the dog days of Summer(100 Degrees daily).

Mowed the hay field yesterday. It’s looking pretty good in spite of our “drought”. The afternoon clouds, showers and thunder are helping keep the lawn green. They are also giving it credit for keeping our bear population up in the hills rather than foraging in and around town.
Planning on grilling steaks for supper, to be consumed on the patio along with baked tater and a little Chardonnay. (Hope the bears aren't lured in by the aroma!)

I slept in this morning. I had a late breakfast on the Patio, Raisin bran and raisin bread toast and lots of black Cawffee. Hot dogs for Lunch. tex-Mex for Supper and Lots of adult beverages.

The hotdogs had mustard, relish, and onions on them. They were good. I had some pork and beans and Fritos with the hot dogs. Today is National Tequila day, I plan on taking advantage of that, by having several adult beverages tonight.

I quit operating a backhoe many years ago. I had some fresh fruit, yogurt, and some sourdough toast for breakfast, on the Patio. It finally got too hot for the Patio, so I went in the house. No clue for Lunch. I am thinking Salads for Supper tonight.

That operator should have gotten the benefit of your experience,TLD ;)
Slept in some, then have gotten busy with laundry since the wife has a parade tomorrow that I'll be forced to go to. It's the start of Hall Of Fame week( yay ::) :-\). As I've gotten older,the farther away from that stuff, the better for me :P

A little different set-up there at the Durham, used lubp charcoal in a sandbos, made 10 pounds of flour into small dinner rolls and gave them away, they are sending me a check for groceries and a tank of gas. Only used half one.

'Twas a lovely night on the patio last evening. The brats, corn and tater salad were great! The weather was perfect even into o’dark’thrity. The garden lights kicked in and gave a nice glow to the whole area. Had to call it an evening though, when it got too dark to spot the cats in the shadows and the underbrush.
-
"SHE" stopped by the concrete pantry , and got huge shrimp about 6 to the pound :o
cooked ...so I got a shrimp cocktail for lunch ;D
I have my special rub ribs in the big red one ....should near perfection about 4 ish, I'll allow them to breath till 5PM

Weekly shopping after Church, first ate too much at Ocean Buffet(Asian place) then walk some of it off in Wally World. Didn't walk it alloff, though. Debating whether to have a nap. "heat advisory" outside might help make up my mind.
-
Wife had a parade today. Luckily, her group was early in the parade. About 20 minutes after we got back to the car,it cut loose. Had almost 2 inches by the time it quit. Have flash flood warnings out for the creek down here ::) :o

Trying decaf ..don't really like it, but I figure the Caffeine is aggravating the arthritis in my left wrist.

-
I got the yards mowed early today. I opted for iced tea instead of Cawffee this morning, to cool off after the mowing. Breakfast is later.
-
The yard work wore me out, I took a nap and slept till 1300. I missed Breakfast and Lunch completely. I am sure I can find something to eat in the freezer or fridge.

I made myself a couple of ham/cheese sandwiches and some chips for my late lunch. Several options for Supper tonight.

Sounds like me when I try keep up with the wife doing yard work. She's the dynamo for weeding, trimming and planting. I just mow the lawn. I think it has something to do with her growing up on a farm! I was just an outskirts city boy.
-
Figured I got dehydrated yesterday too .... can't remember if I drank anything at all ???
Headache this morning ... but gone now ....
Gonna be a Ibuprofen breakfast ....
It may be sore, but the good news is we can still complain & be heard doing so , beats the alternative.

Too hot for Coffee, switching to iced tea. I had some blueberry waffles for breakfast and no Lunch. No clue for Supper. I had some errands to run this morning, before it got too hot. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year, so far. I am moving inside. It is too hot to sit on the Patio.
-
Major 2, don't make me drag the chart out. ;)
I printed that out ;D I can color match #4
-
That needs to be checked every 2 hours, if that is not possible the more fluid input. ;)
-
Oh, check your E-Mail.
Also I have another chart, works better for some.
-
Oh ! I may never drink Beer again :o
-
