((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How's it going?
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Parade was longer than usual, and wife and I were the Unsung Heros for the day.
Walked across the street and sat on the golf course to watch fireworks late last night.
SOUP FOR THE TROOPS
WELCOME TO
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities
Sorry I missed getting to the Canteen yesterday.
Hard to do when hubby is home
plus had major chores to do since none
got done while we were without power.
Hope everyone had a wonderful time and
enjoyed major cookouts and fireworks.
We stayed home and chilled.
I watched Independence Day which
has been a semi-tradition for me.
Saturday will be a cookout day with family.
Not sure how long I'll stay
cause right now they are predicting
103 (without heat index).
~ Today...High 98F. Hot and humid. Heat index near 105F.
Isolated thunderstorms this morning,
then partly cloudy during the afternoon hours.
Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
~ Tonight...Mostly clear. Humid. Low 76F. Winds light and variable.
Making Z Zoup
A pinch of this...a dash of that...
The body has 70,000 miles of blood vessels.
The heart pumps blood through this labyrinth
and back again once every minute.
The striped skunk can fire its musk stream
accurately for up to 12 feet,
and even farther with a cooperative downwind.
A diamond will not dissolve in acid.
The only thing that can destroy it is intense heat.
There are no penguins at the North Pole.
In fact, there are no penguins anywhere
in the Northern Hemisphere (outside of zoos).
All 17 varieties of the bird are found
below the equator, primarily in the Antarctica.
I've got to make my rounds.
It's getting harder and harder
for me to get to the Canteen.
With the slowness of either FR or the network,
it's taking me longer and longer to post each morning.
As hard as it is for me to do
I think I will shorten my morning post.
Expect changes to start soon.
But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

A quick Good morning, EG ((HUGS))
I’m home, paying bills and getting ready to clean.
Did you have a good 4th?
Hope your day is a little cooler and nice.
Good morning, dear ((HUGS))
Glad you had a good 4th. Did you manage to stay cool?
We’re in for more heat...feeling like I’m living in TX or FL!
“They” promise we’ll be back in teh 80s next week. Fingers crossed...we aren’t even in August which is usually the hottest...hope not this year.
I didn't do much for the 4th either, it was more fun when the kids were young.
Weather is nice here, suppose to be 80ish this week which is plenty hot for me!
Enjoy your time off and we'll see ya soon!
Good morning, Tomkow6.
Well, I have to tell you that the scanner was buzzing with numerous grass fires started apparently by idiots shooting fireworks.
Despite the fact that we have dry grass out there.
But, I guess it hasn't occurred to some people that we still have a fire danger situation even though we did get some rain earlier this week.
I went ahead and did some grass cutting work with the lawn mower and the weed-eater. What little rain we had on Tuesday grew some of the grass so I figured I'd go ahead and mow.
Not much is really going on. It's forecast to be around 100 this afternoon.
Going to check in if time permits later today to see what if any updates are coming out for Windows next week.
Good morning ladies and (((HUGS))) to you. It was hot here, but we enjoyed the day. We made some really good BBQ that we ate late in the day.
Good morning, Pro ((HUGS))
80s will be very welcomed here after 100 degree weather we’ve had.
You’re right...holidays are more fun when the kids were young.
Finished updating checkbook and paying bills now it’s time to get started on some other chores.
Have a summertastic Thursday
Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))
Hanging out in the a/c and doing chores.
How was your holiday?
I have to keep telling my grand-doggy that. LOL
Somethin’s wrong in Gotham City, Batman...
Southern Arizona experienced the coolest July 4th in recorded history; the mercury barely made it up to the mid-80s here yesterday. The previous low high temp (huh?) was 90 degrees nearly 80 years ago.
Monsoon rains drenched the state from the Mexican border in Cochise, Santa Cruz, and Pima counties all the way up to Casa Grande yesterday. The rains cleared up here in Sierra Vista about 20 minutes before our fireworks program started. This year’s show included all the shells we bought for last year and didn’t use because of tinder-box conditions, so it was an glorious celebration.
