How goes it?
Hey, Vision! Happy Father’s Day to your Dad and you (if you’re a Dad). :-)
Thanks Gina, not a father, heck, am having a hard time keeping a woman in my life.
All good?
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
How you feeling?
Bummer. The grass gets dry quickly without the rain.
Hi, Viking! Happy Father’s Day!
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.
Hope you feel better, get those ribs working. The herb should work.
And I got 2nd degree burns, too. I don't think I'm hungry now. Grrrr..........
Meh, they’ve played Some Fatherly Advice so many times before.
Sounds like it’s beer time, and aloe vera.
God has your back, Viking. Literally. :-D I hope your week is a very good one.
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.
Night Gina
