Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

71 heading to 89. Maybe a much needed rain.

RNG, the smoke from the big fire is headed here tomorrow. The fire shown on the news looks terrible.

BEF, that's a lot of concerts. Went to a Beach Boys concert when I was 12 at The Dome in Virginia Beach. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs opened for them...lots of fun.

LS, Max is looking chill. Hope you're feeling better.

(I need to go check the oil in my car.....)

Not your fault. Thieves fault. Very frustrating that we now have a class of people who work for their stuff, and there is a growing class of remoras that lie, cheat and steal their way through a crappy life. No thanks to bad district attorneys and judges. Bring back Sheriff Joe prisons across America.

Ditto, the oil check. Amen to law and order, and not Buppies fault.

Put on the backpack sprayer and went poison ivy and bindweed hunting yesterday for 2 hours...glad I was done by 10am because it got sunny and hot. Grabbed a midday nap, then took Della for an afternoon hike.

We met one "friend" on the trail...

Buppies, feeling back to normal today. Will see if I still feel that way after PT.

Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs opened for them...lots of fun.

Wooly Bully!

Amen to law and order, and not Buppies fault.

Agreed 110%

We met one "friend" on the trail...

Had two small ribbon snakes in the yard recently. Fortunately Rigby did not see either one!

Rigby's formal obedience training starts on Thursday. He already knows commands like sit, stay, down, and roll over. We enjoy training him and he likes to learn and get treats.

60F headed 90F today. I'm can work at 90F. When it hits 100F-- time to find shade.

Everyone have a great day!!!

Good Morning
74°, high of 85 with thunderstorms likely late afternoon or evening.
Yesterday was fairly productive, got some ductwork done, turned the water on and checked all the plumbing for leaks, filled the radiant heat loops and boiler, bled the air out and ran the “de-aeration” program in the boiler after getting the zone controller, circulator and zone valves all wired up.

It’s interesting that in all of the seemingly identical pictures of the boiler room, there’s been hours of work between them.

Not sure what’s on tap for today, maybe run some wires for speakers in the ceiling of the great room.

good morning all
looks like we will finally get some measurable rain later today,
definitely needed here though lawn is green.

more tomatoes to deliver this morning, these will go to a friend who runs a B&B downtown.
I'll take the rest of them, the not so perfect ones, to the food pantry across the river in Lambertville.

finally got to eat some of my own baby yellow squash last night for dinner. It was darned good just fried in butter
and herbs. The latest squash is a pattipan that has grown large, now a large fat space ship looking thing.
Will need to chop that up in some shapes and I think I'll try to cook on the barbecue.
any suggestions for seasoning that?
squash sure needs something

I asked my endocrinologist to send a scrip for Wegovy/? to local drugstore that will compound the drug
aka make it yourself, for one third the cost. Demand outstrips supply, permission given to compounding pharmacies
to peddle it that way. With insurance, the cost was 785 a month. under 300 this way

first thing I asked is where do you get your ingredients?
same place as everyone else does locally, so not his BIL in India.

not thrilled about jabbing a needle in my hip once a week but going to try.
buying that xxl shirt really depressed me, have to do something
need to focus on better food choices also.
besides that xxl shirt doesn't fit right, too big in the shoulders, but a comfy
travel shirt. I'm partial to Columbia fishing style shirts, good UV protection

have a good Tuesday, or if Wagtail, hope you had a good one

Good morning! 78˚F before sunrise partly cloudy skies in the morning clearing in the afternoon heading to the mid 90s. No rain.

Hung only 2 pictures yesterday because we went hunting for collectables at the resale consignment store. We have been finding unique items there, not the plastic disposable items from China. However yesterday we brought home no treasures. Have some more pictures to hang today. and maybe a lawn mowing.

The Fountain filter should come in today but Amazon usually delivers late here so filling the fountain may have to wait till tomorrow.

At cards last night (which I only won 1 game) I played with a guy that has been trying to sell his house for the last 3 months. He said the lookers have stopped coming by and that now there are 150 used homes for sale in the neighborhood plus the new builds that he is competing with. I still feel lucky to have sold our old house a few hours after the first day of showing it.

My new neighbors house goes on the market in a few weeks, he will be asking more than I paid for this house because his half acre includes a casita which is perfect for an elderly parent. He is moving to Alaska. So many people move to be near their families in their twilight years.

Good Morning,
Ct, 68 to start going to 86 or so with heavy humidity back again !

Paul that boiler room sure looks complicated, I can’t even imagine the hours spent hooking up all the electrical and plumbing components !

Ted, sorry to hear about your daughters vehicle, hopefully you caught the low oil in time !

Work today, hopeful to get out early! Have to do some shopping at BJ’s after work for the FD concert on Saturday! It will be a quick trip to Vt tmrw morning, coming back on Friday, will mow the grass and won’t be back there until third week in August !

Time to get going, hope all have a good day !

Kyle, I'll be in Texas October 6-12
seems more sensible to wait until I get into California so I know my
date line plans still work. I will then make reservations for the campgrounds to stay at
and we can make better plans. But this will be my navigation path and the campgrounds I've picked out
so far. But I can move the route if a better idea.
I've left enough time for Texas to hopefully make this easy on folks.

Once I leave California, and accomplished my goal of seeing my sisters four grandchildren for the first time
I'm just not in any rush to get home.
I'm not going to get snowed on, hopefully will have beat it out of Colorado before that happens.
At that point probably will be nice to get in cooler areas on way home.
Sitting on the beach at Crystal Beach TX and Gulf Shores Alabama should be very nice in October.

there is a rv museum in Amarillo I thought would be fun to check out on the way. That will be a long day if I go to the big steak
place there. I'm wondering if I can get take out from there, good food but in a very quiet rv.
Restaurants are killers on my tinnitus.

I'd like TexMex please. I'd like to try Texas style barbecue. And I'm partial to German food. Love seafood but no raw fish.
I just know Don will make something really outstanding that is vegan, or we'll go to his favorite restaurant there.
after I get out of his pool. Life is good.
