60+ year old thread.

Slowly losing my heroes.

Goodbye Willie Mays you were incredible to watch as a kid and always a fixture here in San Francisco.

 

Wow.. in the 90's again today, next few. Haven't seen a stretch like this for a while. Glad to have a/c. Remember growing up without it. Didn't care then... the hotter the better. Now it's a health hazard. Just had the A/C system gone over, new start/run capacitor. Lucky to still have original installers/service company close. Hopefully it will get us through.
Newly refurbished water feature works great. Have to refill it daily during this hot weather. Local birds appreciate it. Saw a male Oriol yesterday. Probably means a female is nearby. Rare to see one here.

 

Awake at 2:00, up at 3:00, prepping at 3:30! Ready to get my colonoscopy over with and back to a normal diet!
Sad to miss being outside today because it’s another 70* and lovely day! Finally having a few normal weather days…NICE! Now if only I get to enjoy them.
Sorry for everyone back East where the temps are getting so hot! Get out early in the cool of the morning, then inside with a nice cold iced tea (or what ever your pleasure!)
Everyone try to accomplish something fun today!

 

Good morning all.

 

Anything is normal let’s keep them the way they are Mr.

 

Hope the growth is not bad news.

As a boy growing up in the early 60's everyone wanted to copy Willie's basket catch.

Good morning. Off to the gym then going to donate blood. Smoked chicken for dinner tonight.

 

Morning folks, late night for me but worth it

 

Good Morning everyone

 

Good morning from the west coast!

 

Good morning all...it's hot out there

 

Good morning everyone, have a great day.

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Will we, won't we? Think it's mostly going to stay South of us, but we'll get something. Hey, it's only 76* this morning!

@jwctaco, is that really the old State Theatre? Fantastic if so. Many movies there as a kid!

 

Yes it is

 

A lot of great bands come through the State Theater

 

When I grew up in Minot, we had the empire theater. The city delayed a meeting because allowed a corporation to tear it down for a parking lot. So it missed being declared a historic building. KISS played there in about '73. It had a balcony stage and screen. Several other bands came through also. Many good memories.

 

The inside of the State Theater is all sculpted plaster , with great acoustics. Looks funny with modern sound and lighting equipment

 

Afternoon all:

HOT!

Looked out the front window and saw a critter coming up the driveway and along the edge of the woods line, looked like a small squirrel but the way it moved made me think, is that a weasel! Went just outside the back door to see if I could get a better look at it if it kept coming up the driveway, shortly a little black head with beady eyes appeared from behind my garbage can with 3 of my outside cats looking at it. Yup, definitely a weasel, cute little critter and the first one that I ever saw here. Hope it doesn't get into the neighbor's chicken coop, that might be bad!

 

evening gang. You guys in the path of Alberto, stay safe. You guys in the heat, stay cool. Going to be 97, 98, 99, 96, 99 the next few days then add on the heat index.... uugghh

 

Good morning all.
