Think she found her calling.

Rigby is now "master" of the Teeter-Totter. We place a dog treat at the far side, he walks up it, it pivots, and he's down the other side to get the treat. Then do it in reverse. Fast action means lots of treats so it's his favorite thing now. You can see in the picture he is starting to get his adult fur now.

Hope the healing continues. Glad you can go without pills.

Good evening all. 73ºF for the start, overcast sky, breezy. Moderate wind, brisk gusts, sky cleared off then back to overcast, no rain, and high temp was 87ºF, HI 90ºF. Made coffee to start day some putter early then bike ride, nap after lunch did oven fried catfish my neighbor caught for dinner. Today would have been my 47 anniversary.

Prayers Mostly.
My wife's uncle lost his wife to covid, and he is still grieving quite a bit.

RNG just emailed me and is all set to solder my wires when I get to Orcutt CA. I will have a brand new transfer switch to install by then, maybe he can be my official world famous rv tech....

Kyle, are you a football coach? I read a third child died this year of football injuries, have always wondered if the fun of the game we all love is just too dangerous for little kids. I worry that sometimes these boys play just to please their fathers. Other sports much less risky; I played soccer.
I know they have improved equipment safety, clearly you can't get all the risk out of this game. For adults, fine. 10 year olds?
I think I'd be a nervous wreck, which is one reason I probably didn't have kids

Glad RNG can solder your wires!

No, not a football coach. Never played a down of organized FB. Just have about 60 years growing up watching it.
Heat exhaustion is the biggest culprit and is such a bad thing. Now the purveyor of Texas high school sports, (UIL) has announced new rules concerning it, mainly the wet bulb temp and how long they can play in the heat. One state rep wants to delay the start of schools and colleges until after Labor day, to help the ERCOT grid out. Also the heat problems for the athletes. I hope it gains traction. 2 years ago, I stood up in the gymnasium and asked the coaches if any of them have been trained for heat exhaustion symptoms. They gave me a so so answer. Told my son to DRINK WATER, and a gatorade every 3rd drink.

Love reading all the cool temps you guys are having. Been nice here, too.

Yesterday it took me over 3 hours to lube the zero turn. I don't think I'm slow, and pretty sure I didn't fall asleep when I crawled underneath part of it. It has 2 drive shafts, and they can be a bear to line up and reach. Then mowed another 2 hours.

So, today I took Della on her first true mountain climb to the top. Great 50s hiking weather. Great other hikers and their dogs.

Man's Best Friend! Good to see Della on a mountain top! Now she's gonna be hounding you to GO! Hope she lets you take a nap.

Work was busy busy. Been praying for some financial relief. Got a raise! Thank you! My boss told me I actually make more than him....uh oh. Good thing he loves me.

Everything's high.

Horrible tragedy in Georgia. Prayers for the families and injured.

Saw some crazy driving coming into town. BMW blows a stop sign, he stops at next red light, but kept inching out to where he was directly under the light when it turned green. Then he weaved over in front of truck in turn lane as he took off. Pretty soon a car was turning right from in front of him, he passes in oncoming lane, and almost crashed head first into an oncoming car, that fortunately jerked his vehicle to the shoulder. then this guy passes another on yellow line.. Pulled up next to him at the next light, he was hunched way down in the seat. at next light, which had 5-6 cars backed up, he passed and went straight from the right turn lane. Last I saw of that fool.

Anyway one looks at it he just plan selfish and not just driving either.

 

[Thomas]

Beautiful day, especially since dentist torture is done.
