Coffee and Tea hotter than a June Bride

[Major 2]

Mercury hit 97 degrees, then a thunderstorm blew in from the east and temps dropped 20°
Currently 77° but the rain has gone around us so far.

[DeaconKC]

Well, hit 87 here today, supposed to keep getting hotter the rest of the week and hit 101 Saturday! Call me a wimp if you wanna, but I ain't gonna be shootin' in that!
And Happy Father's Day to all of ya!

Greetings all.

Nice and toasty here in the Dark Continent.  104 with a heat index of 125 we also had a mild thunderstorm around midnight, followed by a dust storm. Made life fun for about an hour.

Beyond that, the life of this deployed airman has been fairly quiet. Getting paid to read books all day. Could be worse.

Have a safe trip, and good a muster watch that heat.

Guessers say, "no rain and just 88° today", I find it hard to believe.
Yesterday they said " 5% rain " and after the thunderstorm they said "80% rain", their enlightened hindsight was 100%.

[DeaconKC]

On my second [third?] cup this AM. 78 right now, heading for 96 with 80% humidity. Yuck! Gotta get out and pick up an Anniversary card for the Missus, will be 38 years Thursday. I am a blessed man, she is a sweetie. Y'all be good, Major, if'n you talk to Del, tell him hello!

[Major 2]

Will do...
Ours was in January 35 years... SHE's a KEEPER
I knew that at the outset, but it was hammered home when SHE took care of me when I had the covid and she was down with it as well...     
Course SHE's 10 years younger but still WOW!

[Russ T Chambers]

Our 35th is coming up September 12th.  My keeper (in more ways than one ) is 5 months older than me.  It just took a 2000-mile-long distance final courtship to convince her. 

Right now, she’s getting packed up and making sure I have my plant care instructions set. Before she goes back to Milwaukee for her mother’s 96th birthday (by the way her mother was out yesterday cutting down trees in her backyard).  The wife will be gone for 6 weeks, so the cats and I get to party!!!!

Evening all. Or morning. Heck,  don’t even know what time it is here, much less there

Another blustery day here. 102 and windy. Had another sandstorm, a little worse than the last.  We lost power yesterday at around 1:30am, and didn’t get it back until almost 8:30. Makes life interesting.

Mrs. TK and I hit 6 months on the 3rd. We’ve been together for almost 5 years though.

Y’all stay safe over there.

Spoke to Del, he's still on track to get released on Friday afternoon.
He's looking forward to being back on CAS City and apricates the well wishes.

Jodi and I had been together 4 or 5 years before I went on location for "Alamo, the Price of Freedom".
During those 16 weeks absents (She in Miami, and I in Texas) the heart grows fonder. 

I have new student (Antropoligy major) intern joining me at the Museum today.
We will be working on WW 1 & WW 2 exhibits rehab, adding and representing the existing displays over the next few weeks.

Guessers were on point; it was rather present Temp wise yesterday @ 88 ° and they say today will be the same and no rain predicted.
Central Florida in JUNE    I'll take it 

[DeaconKC]

Yo TK, glad to hear you are doing okay, still praying for you and your family while you're deployed. Roger, thanks for the update on Delmonico, and don't terrorize the Intern [unless they drink Starbucks!]. 82 here already, supposed to hit 96 today with only 75% humidity. Anyhoo, I'm gonna stay inside as much as possible and drink my coffee this AM.
Y'all have a good day.

[Major 2]

So far a no show   
It's been steady this morning but has quieted down since 1PM

[Major E A Sterner]

A  very good friends grandson is in need of help. I got this note from her.

"He just turned 18. He was born with half a heart. Has had 3 open heart surgeries. He was told about 2 weeks ago that he was going to need a pace maker, but he doesn't have the part of the chamber that you normally connect it to, so they were assembling a team in Birmingham to figure it out. Yesterday the heat got to him so they took him to the ER where they found he was in A fib and low Oxygen so they transferred him to Mobile.

He was airlifted to Birmingham this afternoon. Johnathon arrived safely to Birmingham.Doctor's called and requested to do a cardiac conversion ASAP, they are going to incubate him."

 

Update From my friend...

 

Johnathon is in Room 830 at The Children's Hospital of Birmingham 1600 5th Avenue South Birmingham, Al 35242. Drs are attempting to keep his oxygen saturation level. This weekend the plan is to keep him resting since the cardioversion to bring him out of A fib. On Monday, they will determine if he is strong enough for the open heart surgery that week to install a pacemaker. If successful, he will need to stay another week or so. Best case scenario. Please get the word out to anyone who believes in the power of prayer and healing. Thank you.

[DeaconKC]

Thanks for the update, continuing prayers here.
Well today was the Missus and my 38th Anniversary. God blessed me with a wonderful lady and I know it every day. Had a nice lunch after sleeping in, then was door security at our church for our Spanish Ministry tonight.

[Major 2]

I offer my prayers & best wishes....

I was thinking...We all send Picture Post Cards to him from all of our locations,
so, he knows we are all thinking of him and wishing him well.

Will do! Will get the postcard today or tomorrow. 89 here today on it's way to 100, tomorrow 105! Yikes! No coffee today for this old sheepdog. And got a new Opentop arriving tomorrow! Can't wait.
