Good Sunday morning all. Well, here we are, in our new ‘home’ for the next 3 months. Walt and everyone who helped get us moved, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Couldn’t have done it without all of you helping.
Quentin, I’m glad you had such a good Homeward Bound ceremony/celebration for Jean. That nice, big shade tree sounds wonderful.
81 degrees here in Louisville this morning, but we do have a nice breeze blowing right now. Going for a ‘slightly cooler’ 102 degrees this afternoon, as our high yesterday was 104 degrees.
Coffee, juices, Gatorade, lemonade, lime ade, iced teas (sweet and unsweetened), iced water, soft drinks, etc. are all nice and cold and ready to go. Larry and Tom, do have hot water for hot tea, ifin you want it.
Breakfast is on the breakfast bar: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins.
Everyone have a good morning, take care going to work, Church, railfanning, whatever/wherever you’ll be. See you all this afternoon.
things are quiet here this morning.going to run an errand into town.lots of people around still without power.Cw thanks for breakfast.back to work tonight.
…A new quarter. And we start with sunshine. And I believe plenty of heat as the day continues on. Have not seen the specific temp forecast for today here…but long range forecast yesterday had temps near the hundred mark all thru Friday.
Doing a bit of organizing here in home office this morning…to catch up, and about to get ready for church.
Everyone be careful with upcoming holiday, etc…kids and fireworks, seems to produce unwanted results when not careful…!
Happy Canada Day. Canada is having its’ 145th Birthday today.[bday][D][pi][<:o)]
It is sunny and 70° right now. I just came in from outside and after reading the news sites I feel guilty enjoying such nice weather compared to what I see happening in the eastern US. I saw mentions of Ohio in the list of affect locations. I hope Joe is not having too much trouble.
I live across the street from a pub and you can tell the folks inside are enjoying one of the World Cup Soccer games as every once in a while loud cheers go up as someone makes a good play, or scores a goal. Personally, I’ve never followed soccer, but it sounds like they are enjoying themselves.
…Today’s heat generated wild weather went north on it’s way east today. But we did get .04" of rain out of it. Badly needed. Even that small amount started to green up the lawn…But we’ve got a ways to go to really get it nice again.
Got thru this day. Made it to church today. The hugs, and words makes one emotional, but we made it thru.
Not as hot today, but when the sun was out it was plenty warm…This coming week has us posted for 90’s and maybe better all week.
Good Monday morning all. Quentin, I’m happy to see that you made it in a couple of times yesterday. Can’t quite remember what our official high was yesterday, but when thunderstorms rolled in, naturally the humidity picked up also. Down to 3500 homes without power in our area this morning. Our lights flickered a couple of times, but power stayed on. Some areas (not ours) received heavy winds, hail and pouring rain. We had thunder, lightning and a nice gentle rain: never saw anything heavy, and no pouring rain. This was between 8 and 8:30 last night.
So, we’re going to have temps in the mid to upper 90s today, with more humidity, so will still feel like it’s about 105, 110 degrees outside. Right now, our temp is ranging from 71 to 73 degrees. Not too bad.
Coffee, juices, Gatorade, lemonade, etc. are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is ready and on the breakfast bar.
Everyone have a good morning, keep cool, take care and see you all later this afternoon.
It’s currently 70F heading up to the low 90’s; still hotter the seasons average but at least it’s not 100+
Fire News:
Sadly the number of dead has risen to 3 after two more people perished in the Waldo Canyon Fire and the count is 346 homes lost in that fire alone. Heart wrenching photos coming out of folks returning to what was their homes including this man who just recently returned after severing over-seas in the Army
Peace be with you. 91 and sunshine in Carolina, oppressive but not like yesterday.
We had a real whizbang come thru last night. Our power was out for five and a half hours. Apparently, AT&T took a heavy hit cuz we lost internet for 22.5 hours and only got it back about 20 minutes ago. I like to have freaked out… Actually, tho, it is amazing how much we have come to depend on these stupid things! There is a 20% chance of more thunder today and tonight.
That be about it. Everyone take care and try to stay out of the heat
some areas still without power today.heard it could be Saturday before it is restored.got errands done and need to get back to chores.Cw thanks for supper.This week its work 2 days,off one day the back at it 2 days.
Afternoon all. Not sure what our current temp is; just went outside and fed Momma Kiki, Little Mook, Little Mud and the three youngins, and it is HOT outside. The breeze has even gotten hot again, so that is no relief. The only relief is, we don’t have temps in the triple digits today!
Tom, regarding AT&T: that must be the reason Walt and I couldn’t get on after the storms went through last night. We did have to reset our DSL modem and the wireless modem, but even after that, we had trouble actually getting online. But everything was working when I booted up the computer this a.m.
Joe, you’re very welcome regarding supper tonight. And on tonight’s menu:
Angus steaks: you can have it broiled or grilled, with baked taters and fresh, cold garden salad.
Hope everyone is staying cool and having a good day. Have a good evening, take care and see you all tomorrow.
Mrs. Fox (aka “foxxy”) had dinner on our front porch last night, Bunny al-fresco. The boyz went nuts after they put two and two together. Nigel stood gaurd at the front door all night long.
Sorry I didn’t help move - had a train to run (actually three trips).
Good ridership, though.
A belated Canada Day to our neighbors to the north!
Grandson rode with us on Saturday. He seemed pretty impressed with Papa’s train. He got a model of an F-7 in the gift shop, although he opted for the brighter colors of the WP versus the drab NYC…
Heard discussion of the wildfires and fire conditions in that area on TV tonight (TWC?). The question of fireworks came up - didn’t sound real hopeful. Maybe they can arrange for a laser light show instead.
