60+ year old thread.

Morning all:

Had thunderstorms go through last night and looks like it rained pretty good, I was liking it better when the grass was somewhat dormant, now it's coming back to life with the rain we've been getting and soon time to mow.

Best wishes for your cousin Tom, hope the rehab helps.

Glad to hear that Beryl didn't cause any major damage for anyone on here, looks like some areas got hit pretty hard with flooding and tornadoes.

 

Today's date is 7-11, why do I want a slurpee?

 

Today looks like it's going to be some kind of record...4th day in a row with no rain! We don't need any more. Two weeks ago, I was in a local wildlife refuge that floods pretty badly during the spring thaw. I don't know if I posted the pic here, but the flooding from recent rains was about as bad as the spring thaw. I had fish swimming next to me! Well, I went back there on Mon, and it was worse. At the far end of what you can see here (about 3/8 mile from here), the road T's. I turned around there, the water was almost to my rocker panels (I'm lifted 2") and would get about 4" deeper before I got out either way of the T. The current would get much worse also.

I dare you to buy that hotdog that’s been spinning around for a week

 

Good Morning everyone

 

They're free ?

 

I don't know how many days in a row its been over 110º here - but its not funny any more. Burned all the blooms and buds in the garden - and has started cooking the peppers. Watering and spraying everything three times a day isn't doing the job. Outdoor chores can only be attempted in the dark. Blacktop pavement in front of the house was 165º at 1:30 pm on Sunday.
Its depressing but playing with my infrared thermometer has shown some scary numbers. Returned from the shop yesterday and checked the skin of my wife's car - still 127º after 4 hours in the garage. I told her that this is adding heat to the back rooms of the house - but not something she thinks about.......

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Today is remove the dead controller from the smoker, and replace it with the new FireBoard thing I got.

 

Well, it took 4 yrs but I have finally caught COVID........

 

Be very careful having that! My bro-in-law and my sis caught it during the first year of the pandemic. She was over it in a week with little more than a headache. Him, not so lucky. Had to be hospitalized for a month, then moved to a therapy/care center for two months. Today he is still suffering the effects.
Take care!

 

Hope you feel better soon !!!

 

I hope im on the downside of this its day 6. from what I have been told by Medical professionals is that this strain thats going around is a weaker version.....

 

how did this bug find you ?

 

Well 2 weeks ago my better half and I went to Sea Island GA for my birthday she started feeling bad on July 2nd and tested + on the 3rd then I tested + on the 8th after testing neg each day up to that point. guess we will never really know where this happened.

 

Be careful, keep an eye it, it effects everyone differently,especially the older folks

 

Have fun.

 

I thought they said that China virus thingy was over with
Be well my friend!

 

It's like any virus, it will mutate all the time and always be with us. Unfortunately.
