Never Forget Them!

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....ML grabs the gold!!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Forget them, we won’t!

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

We sure won’t...or what caused their death.

Crazy floods in the NE, huh! Glad those missed y’all!

[radu]

Man, it’s insane up there tonight. But all that rain and all that concrete .....

They’d said Ida would crank back up after it passed us and it certainly did that.
We didn’t even have wind here. Just two days of rain. Today was breezy and that was a good thing. It helped dry the grass and Hubby should be able to mow tomorrow. Does it ever need to be done!

[luvie]

Your hubby is not going to be a happy camper tomorrow having to mow all that grass. LOL! Better make him his favorite supper.

Ugh...all the allergens that mowing will stir up.

[The Mayor]

Yes, got home last night. Was a good trip and saw many relatives I hadn’t seen in years.

It looks like my coffee posts didn’t come out correctly.
I was on my old laptop and the screen is trashed as are the keys.
I couldn’t see the letters so I couldn’t respond to anything.
Now back on my PC so all’s good.

Thank you my friend!

[radu]

He’ll just get started on it tomorrow - - maybe. It’ll take at least two days to cover the acreage that needs mowing, even with the 8-foot mower he pulls with the tractor. It’s thick and tall. It needed to be mowed last week but he passed on it because it was so hot.

[luvie]

Can’t blame him for not wanting to be outside in the kind of heat you guys were having.

It got up to 96 here today. So our weather report lied. It was supposed to only be in the low 90s. Can’t trust anyone any more!

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[radu]

He’s been pretty bored because he’s used to doing stuff outside or at the garage. Tomorrow should be a great day to get out with the temp around 82 or so.
IF our weatherfolks aren’t lying like yours did. LOL

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Were you able to take Gizmo out for a romp yesterday? I saw on the news that there was a heat advisory for your neck o’ da woods.

[luvie]

I hope yours isn’t a liar like ours. LOL! It’ll be nice to have that jungle tamed, huh.

I think I’ll watch one more show and then crash. My nap was short today. See ya....um.....Sunday. LOL!

[radu]

It’ll be VERY nice to have the jungle tamed. It looks pretty ratty around here these days.

No 90s in the 7-day forecast and that’ll be a nice break. The highest temp they showed was 87 a couple of days next week. Then back to low 80s by next Wed.
We can live with that. LOL

Enjoy your show. I’m watching Steve’s 2nd stream. YT hid it to begin with and I just saw it was going a few minutes ago. Went back to the beginning to see what all’s been going on up north. Holy cow!!!

[E.G.C.]

There was a heat advisory yesterday so we did a ride in the country instead but I did get a picture of Gizmo going wild and crazy with a pop bottle in the yard. He loves playing with those things.

As of right now, we plan on doing Chsiolm Trail Park later today. We'll see what the weather service does with the heat advisory. Right now it's just for our neighboring counties to the East.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...hope your heat is going down and humidity isn’t too bad.

Ash and her beau just left...we had a great visit. And I really like Tim.

AND she picked out a bunch of the Alaska things to take home.

And it is sprinkling!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad you are safely home and had a good visit.

Traveling posts get special dispensation. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

My niece from Texas came to visit and introduce her beau...he passed all my tests. LOL!

And in second....Pro snags the silver!!

[radu]

I was afraid your outing would be put off when I saw the news about a heat advisory. Good to hear the heat’s moved to the east so y’all can get out to play today.
At least Giz got to blow off a little steam with his pop bottle. LOL

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

Yes, the temp and humidity are both down for several days. Well, we do have rain in the forecast for Sunday so it’ll be damp then. But overall, a great forecast for the next week.

Yay! Glad Ash and Tim were able to stop by to visit. And tonight was a better night for it than last night or Monday would have been.
And she didn’t leave empty-handed. Great!! Less you have to deal with later. LOL
