AIM HIGH
A college professor prepared a final exam for his students. The test questions were divided into three categories, and the students were instructed to choose questions from only one of the categories. The first category of questions was the hardest and worth fifty points. The second, which was easier, was worth forty points. The third, the simplest, was worth thirty points.
Upon completion of the test, students who had chosen the hardest fifty-point questions were given As. The students who had chosen the forty-point questions received Bs. Those who had settled for the easiest thirty-pointers were given Cs. Some of the students were frustrated with the grading of their papers and asked the professor what he was looking for. The professor leaned over the podium, smiled, and explained, "I wasn’t testing your book knowledge. I was testing your aim". Robert Kriegel put it this way: "The key is to have a dream that inspires you to go beyond your limits". |

Howdy, Kathy.
Another beautiful day up there! I hope you’ve managed to work in a little sun time on the deck.

I had a college prof who, on the first day of the class asked “Do most of you consider yourselves to be average?”.
Heads nodded.
“Do you agree that ‘C’ is an average grade?
Heads nodded again.
“Great! You have agreed that most of you will receive “C’s”!

Hope you had a not too muggy day. Mostly sun here except when I go out to the deck. LOL!

Dear God: I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman, Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is loving kindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

Sounds like you need to be sneaky about heading out to the deck. LOL
It’s been very pretty up there, and busy on the lake with the seaplanes flying in and out. And it was nice of the weather to cooperate for a young couple who got married today on the lakeside at the Aviation Museum.
I woke up to some rain, then it remained cloudy the rest of the day. Very muggy as well.

Howdy, luvie.
Only double digits for y’all when I checked NOAA earlier today. Still mighty toasty.
About 10 degrees cooler here but it didn’t feel like it. It was steamy-sticky and I was glad I could stay in.
