Good morning!!!!

[vtsnowedin]

I have nine memory "pushbuttons" on my Wunderground display and every one of them is showing 86 degrees right now, from New York to Wilmington NC. And it is 86 here.
Did a lot of trimming and weedeating and got utterly filthy in the process. Then inside by 1:30, pretty tuckered out.
Another naked walk to the shower as I sure wasn't wearing those clothes inside, chunks of stuff falling off me even after using the small cordless leaf blower on myself. Need to use Roundup on the driveway in spots and had to really cut back the grass so I can see what is coming in from the side and what is coming up through the pavement. Still very dissatisfied with the macadam edges, particularly now that the grass is getting into the cracks. Will take a large piece of cardboard and hold it up against the lawn and will spray as carefully as I can. Killed a few chunks of the good lawn last time when I did it by eye so this time I'm going to use a backboard of sorts. That will be my project for tomorrow.
And then I really have to get cleaned up.

the plot thickens...
When I met the prior owners of my home last time recently, they seemed determined to play matchmaker.
So................
Tomorrow night I have my first date. A slightly older lady.
Described to me as a book doctor. Oh? Book doctor...antique leather bindery?
No. Oh. I get it. A PHD? yes. Ok. And they've know her for thirty years.
Ok. How can I say no...

So off to a nice restaurant down by the river.
Honestly my only concern is getting driven around by this 80 some year old guy in his Crown Vic and getting home in one
piece. He's coming to pick me up after picking up my dining company. Sure knows where to find me anyway.

Well dust off your best Southern Gentleman manners and show the lady a nice time.

Good morning all. 77F this morning topped out at 98F here. Stepdaughter had a bad morning at work so boss told her to take rest of day off. Went with her to Richardson Bike Mart and Costco. Biggest bike shop I have been in by far! So the weed eating and finish mowing waits till tomorrow

Have you used Map My Ride to create routes? It's a great mapping site.

Have not messed with any mapping sites, knew most of the bike trails at the old house, and just sticking with start and end at homes rides for the time being. Gets hot to fast and not done with moving in projects yet. Will check it out when weather and time are more bike friendly .

Heat? What heat? Gotta get you ready for the Hotter N **** up in Wichita Falls.

Larro, that is a gnarly looking had!

Gary, line up and running?

Drew, have fun on your "blind" date :drink:

Welcome back online RNG got any more good pics?

Don, I handle the cold easier than the hot. Plowing snow on open station tractor for 2-3 hours in 20F temps and 20 mph winds piece of cake. 100F heat index and I spend as much time inside as I do out :confused3::shocked:

MGas, Hang in there cool weather is right around the corner, in 3 months.

I gathered some wild Mustang Grapes this evening in preparation for bread making. It starts off with fermented grapes. This will be very good or very bad, stay tuned. . .

Roy, that's HOT for you.

73 going to 89 today, still dry weather, supposed to change this weekend to chance of showers for the next week but they sure aren't very accurate with that.

heading out early to change the blades on the JD lawn mower and do an oil change on the little Yanmar diesel. Need to look up the oil type; not all diesels are 15/40 though that's always my default. Then mow the fields in a/c and then back inside to clean up.

72 going to 89 with another chance of showers.

Lots of yard work once the grass dries out, which sometimes doesn't happen before the first shower arrives.
