People like that suck! I had an old boss who would schedule late meetings.

Lilli is up! Bed time

Happy Juneteenth/Wednesday. Our new fed holiday. I always hated when they fell in the middle of the week because you have to take more than a day of PTO to make a very long weekend out of it.


No special plans for this day. A bit of writing, a bit of rifle cleaning and reassembly, a bit of cooking, some reading, and I need to start getting serious about a wee exercise program. We'll see. And there's a bike out there which wants to go somewhere.


Meanwhile, coffee . . . .

Love it. I do prefer not to be dunked until the bubbles stop though!

I'm hearing you like to be dunked, though??? Just not that long??? Should we get you a snorkel??

My mom ended up in the ER having her rings cut off her fingers as a result of a "no see ums" attack during an afternoon round of golf one summer (decades ago). Her hands swelled too fast for ice and benadryl to keep up.

Yikes that is horrible. We were hounded by them once and we jumped into a canoe and paddled like hell to the middle of a lake to get away.

92 here. 93 tomorrow and 95 friday.

Way. Too. HOT!!!

We get too damned close to 100 this weekend.

It was hot here today but I was stuck in a ac office. I really hate ac. Not a fan (see what I did there??)

I seriously, don’t like air conditioning. I don’t wanna be brutally hot and sweaty either, but I don’t mind it. I also don’t mind humidity. I know I’m a wacko.

It reminds me of being a kid on summer vacation. As I get older, I like it less than less, but I still don’t mind it and I still enjoy having my car or truck windows open rather than putting on AC.

Had a nice swim w miss conduct when I got home. Just chilled and sat poolside till the sun went down and listened to good music.

Fun night.

My daughter is still testing positive and since I’m seeing my mom Sunday more time apart. I’m needing to see my kid…

glad you are enjoying what life gives you and fully empathize wanting to see your daughter.

Good morning all and especially OM for your amazing coffee ( note to others: praise helps keep my tires inflated and brake lines functioning).

92 here. 93 tomorrow and 95 friday.

Same weather and no relief until Monday.

I don't get to see the kids anywhere near often enough. Somehow, Life goes on.

Cowboys 102-106.

I would just burn right up!

 

[Lilianna23]

It's 91% humidity here that kills us.

How can you breathe when it's like that?!?

Update on the Spatulas. (Thanks for asking, I though no one cared)

Well the vintage ones cleared customs and should be delivered tomorrow. I have a pre Culinary Control Act bottle of Joy I’ll soak the flippers in at full strength, then a 63/37% mixture of Dawn/RC Cola for a couple of days.

I found a guy who can refinish the stocks in natural oak but, I also received a email from the guy who found the vintage spatulas and he has a couple spatulas with folding stocks that were issued to tank or paratrooper cooks.

Cool!

Will do. I forgot to water my pumpkins at home last night so I’m doing the same in a bit….

I always water in the morning. Less chance of mold forming.

 

[Lilianna23]

Don't know how I missed this post before, but now I'm going to have to look up the Upper-Class Twit of the Year sketch.

Post it here when you find it!

True. I often water at dusk in the hot weather to keep things wetter. But morning is prob better. Still haven’t watered the punkins yet. Gotta get offa my ass.

One of the old school ones with lovely wooden furniture. My grandfather had his mother's old treadle machine that had been electrified. No idea whatever became of it.

My mom had one of those. She gave it to my sister. Her son has it now. It's beautiful!

 

[Wonderer67]

I’m offa work today and the rest of the week so we’re going down the shore today. Should be only 78 there for the high.

Stay inside. Become night seekers...

Got some good news: both strawberries and cherries are in season a month early! Going to farmers market Saturday.

Got that right. I feel like it’s winter being inside so much. Good time to read.

Bad news today. Apparently some mushroom candies are causing people to get nauseous and sick. FDA just issued the warning.
