Happy Father's Day all!

Obviously a Father's Day lineup...never heard of Abe Burrows Show or The Magnificent Montague...Abbot & Costello can be hit or miss...classic b level show Nightbeat...Mystery Is My Hobby is usually fun...and ending classically with Lux “Close To My Heart...”

How goes it?

[WXRGina]

Hey, Vision! Happy Father’s Day to your Dad and you (if you’re a Dad). :-)

[Vision]

Thanks Gina, not a father, heck, am having a hard time keeping a woman in my life.

All good?

[WXRGina]

We’re good here. It’s hot and muggy, and there are a couple of potential storms in the tropics. Burgers to go on the grill shortly. Laundry. :-D

[Vision]

We're had no rain for weeks other than for a brief 5 minute shower. They forecasted thunderstorms Fri -Sun and basically nothing. Nuts. The yard is thirsty.

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks.

[Vision]

Evenin’ we have a gunfighter intimidating Dillon on Gunsmoke.

How you feeling?

[WXRGina]

Bummer. The grass gets dry quickly without the rain.

Hi, Viking! Happy Father’s Day!

[Viking2002]

Sprained my lower back a little moving some stone and building a border around the rose garden and pepper patch, lower legs a little swollen, but otherwise OK. I got a bottle of that sylvestre leaf you pointed me to - I'll try it a few weeks and monitor my sugar to see if it works. I may not know 100% because the doc put me on Adipex to lose weight and a low carb diet, so that'll knock my A1C down, too, but I can stick myself and check my fasting sugar a few times a week.

Damn it! Just started coals on the grill fifteen minutes ago to cook two small racks of Ray Fieri baby back ribs, and the wife yells for me. The was nothing - NOTHING - on the radar, but it started raining! I just burned two fingers getting the top vent closed to save the coals. Just checked the radar again, and it was some little cloud about the size of my yard overhead that decided to wring itself out on my coals. Nothing else for at least fifty miles in any direction. I don't even think the neighbors' lawns got wet. I think that was God's awy of punishing me for not going to church this morning.

She had the forethought to run out and slam the lid shut first, so I think I may have saved it.

[Vision]

Hope you feel better, get those ribs working. The herb should work.

[Viking2002]

Critical temp failure on the grill. I can't believe it. Looks like they're getting finished in the oven. I wanted grilled ribs and sauce. And she wonders why I wanted to get another gazebo to replace the one I just tore down.

And I got 2nd degree burns, too. I don't think I'm hungry now. Grrrr..........

[Vision]

Meh, they’ve played Some Fatherly Advice so many times before.

[Vision]

Sounds like it’s beer time, and aloe vera.

[WXRGina]

God has your back, Viking. Literally. :-D I hope your week is a very good one.

[Viking2002]

Doing/done that. You's be surprised how quick I can move, given the motivation. A salve and an anesthetic was immediately called for.

[Vision]

What does this song have to do with OTR? And what’s the point of mentioning the racial make up of the audience of a music festival from the 60s? Murray’s a freak who shouldn’t be the host.
