Good morning. Going to be a hot one here as well. I am off to look at new kitchen cabinets, then I will be Eastbound and Down....going to St.Albans VT for two kegs of craft beer. We are having a socially distanced birthday party this afternoon and that should pretty well finish off the day.

Morning from the humid South! Another day, with 10 more in sight of high temps and humidity and pop up thunder storms, some powerful. Having a get together of my friends not afraid of the big bad wolf, for my 60th bday party. Showing off the work I have done to my home. Cleaning up like madmen. Supposed to have short day yesterday and got home at 6:30........argh. Never enough time.
Enjoy the weekend everyone, they are already talking about turning the corner to fall on the news..

Kevin

Going to take the wife and daughter to Bills old bike barn this morning, then a few stop to have some wine, and see what else we can get into.
Trip has been good but way to hot for me, we did have a tire failure after having changed it due to a bent axle( the tire was wearing bad on the inside edge so I decided to put the spare on, well 30 miles later boom!!) all my fault as i never replaced the China bomb spare with a good tire after the 1st year when I replaced the original ones.
I have some cosmetic work and i will have to replace the rear axle tube with a upgraded one due to the overweight condition of the trailer.
Ok friends have a wonderful weekend and stay cool!!

Coffee on the go, gotta work today.

Happy 60 Kevin you don't look a day over 59.

Bill's old bike barn, now that's a great day.

As long as the AC works I'll be fine Fred. The grass will be there tomorrow if you don't do it today.

Good evening fellows. Happy Birthday Kevin. Hot muggy day here. Helped a buddy rebuild a stone wall today then hit a a flea market at a fire department, not many fleas there virus must have them laying low too. Going to get garden hoed up tomorrow rain this week has weeds starting up again. Everything looks good except for zucchini and cucumbers 90• heat has them barely holding on. I vote for some cooler temps! Take care friends.

Good morning one & all, not much going on around here except like everywhere around the heat. Got some good news about being able to keep my left leg for awhile longer. It will probably always be a bit larger than the right but who besides me is gonna notice. Blood circulation is good going in but not so on the return, can't figure that one out. Neighbor got the second cut of hay on my side now just have to dry & bale. Hope all have a safe & cool week!

Good to hear from you Sam, you have been missed. At least the news is encouraging.

Hi dee hey! Good coffee, even if I'm a day or so late. A fine weekend uptta camp. The neighbor put on "The first annual float plane fly in". Eight planes landed on the pond & took up beach front up & down the shore. The first one came at 10AM. I heard the Cessna coming from way up high. I yelled "he's coming in HOT!". He did a curving flyover at near beach level at about 130 MPH. Man.... He was loud! It was fun to watch them land & take off. This February there will be a ski-plane fly in. I hope to go up & see that.

Glad to hear the ill are better than expected. Hang tough & forward we go!
