Gee, Gosh..... Rain's a coming so let's coffee down & have a good day anyway! Deep, rich, Peruvian coffee is in the pot. Bagels, jelly donuts and cinnamon rolls to munch on while blueberry pancakes cook. Enjoy!
We are spending more time up north than ever. Soooo nice to be away from electronics and noise. It was a busy 4th of July weekend. At one point there were three boats on the pond at the same time! Busy!
Hope you are all staying safe & remaining healthy. Not too much Covid here, but we are constantly vigil.
Find a way to smile!

Tasty breakfast Freddy. Sounds like camp is getting to be the place to be, starting to get real popular. Same weather here Benny, now it’s going to be branch clean up after the storm went thru. It does feel much better out this morning. Garden looking pretty good been watering extra with all the heat we’ve had. No big projects today just putsy around the house. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Good morning everyone. It was a big week at our house. We broke ground on a new addition. Discovered an abandoned set of concrete cellar stairs in the process, a really old foundation, and some boulders. On the bright side the guys located my underground electric entrance and water line without any damage, and both were just outside the footprint of the new foundation. The forms came off yesterday, and next week they will get all of the plumbing set and pour the floor.
Like much of the Northeast we could really use some rain. Not sure if we will get any from this tropical storm or not. This morning I am going for a ride to look at new kitchen cabinets, and after that the boys and I are all getting haircuts.

Great coffee, Freddy, thank you! Summer is too short, Freddy. If you can relax at the camp, do it. There are enough of us here to keep 'Freddy's Coffee House' open on a Saturday morning.
4th of July gone.......lookin' at Labor Day up ahead...........like you say, 'forward we go!'
Stay healthy everyone
Cheers

Morning all,
Not a lot going on here today. Yesterday we got clipped by tropical storm Fey. We just caught the western edge of it. A little rain and a little wind nothing major. It was out of here by 7 O'clock. Today we're back to the 90's with high humidity.
Stay healthy everyone!

Morning from the steamin south. Today is the good day, tomorrow under higher risk for severe weather. Lost 11 lbs. in 5 days this week, laying on a black asphalt roof working on the side wall.....Only could make it thru to about 2:30 or so......Tough way to loose weight. But I guess I got paid to do it.....
Flying into Bangor Wen. Freddy and escaping the next morning. Unless the rules change again. Gonna escape with a cooler full of haddock. Yummmm. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Hi all and hows everyone? sorry I missed coffee this morning but I was have some HAWAIIAN ESTATE MAUI MOKKA coffee somewhere near Milton W,VA at 5:30 this morning and now I'm sitting somewhere around Elizabethtown Ky until tomorrow, going to spend time with my family then we are meeting up with some friends in Dandridge Tn on Sunday.
Thats a good thing Freddy thats what you are supposed to do when your retired, glad to see your enjoying yourself though
I have had my fill of this *censored* hot weather as it kicks my butt.I definitely like cooler weather better but nothing I can do but swim and drink lots of cold adult drinks .
Ok people have a wonderful day and enjoy!

Went over to neighbors to lend a hand (on the ground) They set me up on a stool & I did a bunch of cutting. Seen a lot of barn raisings but still get impressed with the way the lil Amish monkeys get-er-done!!
