Welcome Troops, Veterans, Families, and Allies!
God Bless You and Keep You Safe.
Howdy, luvie.
I gather it was another toasty day.
Here today was pretty much a repeat of yesterday - hot, then occasional rain showers moved through. Watching a line of storms moving down towards us now.
Hey there, radu!
Yes, it was 100 again. *ho-hum* LOL! It’s getting VERY tiresome.
I’m glad you’ve had more showers. I’m guessing that there are still crops that need them. How are the soybeans faring?
We’ve had just enough “rain” this evening to cover the street and now it is mostly dry.
Yesterday at Comanche before the heat.
Also we had ribs for supper.
And BTW, in case anyone wonders how I make the ribs, here is the recipe.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Very tiresome, indeed. I’m sure your poor kitties would agree heartily.
Today’s showers didn’t amount to much. Nothing like yesterday’s. Fortunately, what’s closing in tonight has calmed down and will only be rain. There were some nasty storms mixed in when they came down from KY.
I’m sure the guy who has the beans across the road is thrilled to get this rain. Very good timing to plump up the beans in the pods. The plants look very happy these days - very lush.
Most of the crops around here are past needing rain but there might be a few others who planted late like the guy across the road.
I noticed one field Dusty owns has been harvested already when I drove past it the other day. Obviously one of the first he planted. He has fields all over the county he either owns or rents. It won’t be too much longer before he gets the corn here.
It didn’t rain very long out by the airports either. The parking lots are getting dry spots now.
It’s about to get wet here again. Just rain this time. No storms. Whew!
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Gizmo gave you a good workout yesterday. LOL Built up a hearty appetite for those ribs.
Those farmers work so hard so I’m glad that their crops seem to be thriving.
Guess I’d better go. I’m already dreading that alarm in the morning. See ya tomorrow!
I wouldn’t say most of them thrived. At least they survived and there’ll be SOME yield, but it’ll be lower than it would have been if there’d been sufficient rain. Still better than no yield at all.
Good luck getting to sleep quickly so you don’t drag al day tomorrow.
This is a great video!!
Mom Brings Son’s F15 into Parking

Recently had the opportunity to arrange for two retired USAF NCO’s to meet their son when he flew an F15 into my location. Mom won the coin toss and got to block the aircraft into the parking spot.

“Just an awesome video. Mom parking her son’s fighter on the tarmac. Thank you all for your service!”
