Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Before we got married, my wife was curious about the guns and she once fired ONE shot with one of my .38s. That's the only time she's ever fired a gun. But many years ago, when I worked the late night shift, she sometimes slept with the S&W Chief under her pillow. And any time I went home before daylight, I called her on the phone to put that gun away before I went home and opened a door.:laughing:

Thanks for the laugh.

Good Evening all.71F this morning, mostly clear, calm wind. Moderate wind today and sky clouded up and looked rainy, and high temp was 91F. Choir practice to start, then mow lawn, clothes could not have been wetter if I wore then into shower after that After shower and nap trip to town to grocery shop.
Lynn, as was said earlier, the scenery would slow me down.:2cents:
RNG, the possibility that my gun could be used against me would freak me out as well:shocked:
Drew nice to hear all about the haul. please don't forget pics
David safe trip home, surely you have more pics hint,hint
prayers for all.

Nice picture Drew. The only visitors, we dispense of here, is water moccasins near the house, shop, horse barn, etc. The rest are live and let live.

Good morning, Goldilocks weather for us, not too hot and not too cold. Which reminds me, have the 3 bears been to your house recently Wng ?

All our firearms and shotgun certificates have a "safekeeping" clause that requires us to keep them locked away in an approved cabinet when not in use. Same applies to rifle ammunition, but not to shotgun cartridges. A few years ago they had a campaign to clamp down on this, paying random visits to check on people. Penalty if caught out is to loose license, pay a fine and possible get locked away yourself for up to 6 months.

65 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's. Unsettled weather coming in for the holiday. Hope all are on the mends and have a great day. Be safe.

59 right now...high in the low 80's today. I'm on a short vacation...mostly due to my wife being ill. Ever since the heart valve replacement, she's been getting bouts of vertigo. My stepdaughter normally keeps watch on the wife...but she (stepdaughter) is in Europe on vacation.
Anyway, mowed yesterday and did some trimming...I'll finish up the trimming today,

Actually, that Impossible Burger was first tested in the STL market at Burger King with their Whoppers, and has been around for a few months now. I haven't tried it. Not interested.

I've also seen recently that White Castle now has a "meatless" version of their burger, and heard a news report that one of the pizza chains (Little Caeser's, I believe) will offer a "meatless" version of their sausage pizzas.

I certainly wouldn't say that they're "taking over the industry," but they certainly are making a bigger splash than I think most people expected.

I agree...saw an "Impossible Whopper" - Burger King commercial on TV watching the Orioles baseball game last night. I haven't been in a fast food place in a long time, so don't know if they are selling them locally.

62 going to 92.

Roy, hope your wife is feeling better when she gets up today.

There are reasonably priced handgun vaults that allow a loaded firearm be kept on a bedside table safely, and the gun to be accessed in a under a couple of seconds. I recommend this one:

RAPiD(R) Safes - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc

Eric, the bears are still coming up to the house...they lie down under one of the bird feeder hanging trees, about 15 feet from the house, licking up any spilled seeds. Saw them night before last at about 9pm. We bring in all the "portable" bird feeders each night, and empty the permanent ones, but the goldfinches spill so many sunflower seeds during the day that there are enough to interest the bears. We have ID'ed a family of 3 and a different family of 2, based on size and on a spot of missing hair on one. I have 5 game cams spread around and have been getting pix, day and night on all of them.

We took a day trip over the mountains to the Shenandoah Valley yesterday. We toured Luray Caverns and their antique car museum. Haven't been since I was a kid. They have made many improvements...added an outdoor museum with old valley buildings and barns...moved an old Mennonite meeting house there and in the inside museum they have the 1536 German Bible they used. A very nice display of old valley life.

This pic is of some smaller formations, but the reflecting pool made it special.

Cool picture wnsprd

 

[Bird]

78 degrees this morning, going for a high of 91. And I have an 11 a.m. appointment for an for an Echo Test and a Carotid Doppler Bilateral Test. So I haven't made any other plans for today.

 

[daugen]

good luck with your heart testing Bird.
Prayers for Roy's wife feeling better and Toppop continuing to heal.

headed downtown with my melons, the larger lighter green ones are Clay County Yellow Meat watermelons and the
small ones are icebox red melons, maybe Crimson Sweet

now if we could see Sodamo's cruise pics we'd have something better to look at than vegetables...

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 70° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 85° with partly cloudy skies and PM thunderstorms. Got some more of the mulch down. May do a few more bags today.
Went to checkout a dog groomer yesterday. Nice place. But they also do pet boarding. The noise from barking at the front counter was so bad I had trouble hearing the receptionist. Our 14 year old dog would not handle that very well. Still searching.

Roy, hope your wife gets better.

Randy and other healing. Continue on that course. Prayers sent.

Wngsprd, cool picture. I have a portable gun safe. With electronic keypad. Works good. Yesterday's post reminded me to change batteries. It's a First Alert. Used it to transport my pistols while traveling in motorhome.

Drew, nice pictures.

Good Morning All.

 

[DABSGT]

Good morning all 72 heading to mid 80's.
Getting errands done this morning, bank, pay property tax, some blood work then grocery store. Hope to spend some time with that old 2n find out what the spark problem is.
Roy hope wife is feeling better, Randy hopefully you are resting up for the big day.
Have a great day everyone

You almost got a pic of a huge snakeskin this morning that was wrapped around one of my hedges but after picking it up an stretching it out it was identified as weathered bubble wrap.:ashamed:

Good morning! A bright day with temp range from 76 to low 90s. We are still not hitting the high 90s every day so I can't complain.

Heading to the gardens to do some tractor work, I got in 4hrs seat time last week, all FEL work moving mulch, garden spent plants, and decomposed granite.

Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 5:30AM. Abundant sunshine. High around 90F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

Nice cave pic, Wng. No wind to disturb the water deep underground, huh?

Are your melon plants producing up to par, Drew?

Hope you get the results you're looking for on the tests, Bird.

Good luck with that 2N, DAB. Hope it's something simple.

This hot weather has brought on algae blooms in the local waterways, and now some are testing positive for toxins. Warnings to stay out of the water, not eat the fish, and keep children and dogs away. Never heard of this when I was a kid, and I wonder if it's always been that way and there was no way of telling?

Headed over closer to the coast for an old fashioned Forth of July in one of the smaller towns. Parade, fireworks, good food, and some motorcycling. Hope everyone enjoys the holiday!:firecracker:

Thanks for the recommendation for Oil-Dri, Rick! Spilled about a pint of oil on the rough driveway a couple days ago, and instead of trying to dose it with engine cleaner and a hose, just covered it with the OD. Yesterday I hit it with the hose and you'd never know anything was spilled.:thumbsup:
