As much as I detest summer, I am glad your enjoying it. It's only fair that you get to enjoy summer after enduring our beloved winter!Originally Posted by Marg Shurtliff
And Hey! What a cute little beastie! Actually a whole gaggle of cute little beasties, you've been holding out on us Marg!
I did get a note off to Mark's Pastor, telling him that we miss him, who knows, he could be holding out for #10,000?

Happy Canada Day to you all.

Yes, happy Canada Day to you, Marg! Our day's Wednesday. Just realized again, while typing this, that ~~ were Danny here ~~ it would've been our 19th anniversary! Sometimes seems forever, & sometimes does not seem like nearly a cpl decades since marrying . . . .

Sure wish things had been different for you Gina. I'm going to guess by how much you miss him, that Danny was a great guy.

Winter's coming! As we sat around last night waiting for the fireworks to start, the conversation turned to the prospects of snow and when and where we expected to ride this winter. One of the guys actually came to the fireworks wearing an Arctic Cat shirt on! Refreshing!

That would spoil all my fun if I were enjoying my summer and someone starting talking about hurrying winter along . How to spoil a good time fast !!! Summer is cheaper , too, as I don't pay to get the grass cut anywhere near as often as I have to pay to get snow removed .

Oops, sorry Marg. Didn't mean to spoil your summer, hope your enjoying it! There's still plenty of time left before the cooling breezes of autumn embrace us.
I must admit that I do enjoy summer at the house in Maine. It's just plain unbearable down here though, seems like it's going on three weeks now with temps hovering around 90 and humidity just a tad higher than that. Sure glad I don't live in the south or the midwest!

Hello from the Midwest. 6 days no electric ... no internet.
Sorry to hear that Steve . How did you survive the heat ?
My cousin was in Indiana visiting relatives and came back to Florida early as there was no power and the temps were 105º.

Current temp 62º. Heat advisory out for today and tomorrow .That means people should be in A/C for at least 2 hours ( among other things .) I'll go one better and stay in A/C 24 hours !

And 104F today. That is quite some temp for MI, esp since at the airport, which is out east of town. Some temps (like Kalamazoo) say they come from a downtown reading ~~ always hotter than out of town ~~ so their reading was 108 of 109. Either way, it is warm enough to remind me a bit of AZ. Still miss it, tho', as winter will come before you know it.

All this talk about impending winter is very depressing . Let's just enjoy this warm weather while we have it . The other will come , I know , but , let's not let it spoil the present .

Right on , Gina . Let's enjoy this great weather so we'll have happy memories to get us through the rest of the year . We can complain all we want then . But be happy. This is so nice and warm .( saying that while nearly freezing as the A/C blows on my legs . But I'm moving away soon from this spot )
Marg
Yeah, it is nice out, for sure!
ETA: like the "cold front" they speak of that is coming, too, meaning 80s instead of near 100.
THAT kind of "cold" I can take!!

Now that sounds nice! A little reprieve would be nice. Yesterday was hot enough that my shirt was completely wet, not one square inch of it dry, and my pants were we all the way to the knee. You know it's hot out when the money in your pocket gets wet from it!Yeah, it is nice out, for sure!

Sorry for laughing , Jim , but the picture you painted was hilarious . Temp 72º here at the moment .

No problem Marg.
Maybe it's a guy thing, but I almost actually like adversity, or at least the mild kind like yesterday. I was installing an artesian well pump, which tends to become rather strenuous towards the end when trying to get the pitless adaptor seated without dropping the pump into the well. It was hot enough that I had to leave tools under a piece of plywood to keep them cool enough to use.
Today's another day though, I need to get the trench dug to the house for the water line, I gave up on it yesterday. But if I get out there early and get it done before the sun gets too high, it shouldn't be all that bad.

Jim,
Feel free to mail those wet greenbacks here. We'll dry them out and return them ... less S and H, of course.

Hey Steve, I'm from New England, we don't just go and mail greenbacks you know.
In fact I couldn't even get them all out until I took off my pants. Short arms and deep pockets you know.

Was at a birthday party this afternoon for my great niece who turned 4 on the 5th . Princess Aurora visited for an hour with the children . Of course , this has to be booked well in advance and just last week Keira changed from wanting to be a princess to being the Avenger . She did keep her princess duds on while Aurora was there but took it off right away . One of her gifts was a Captain America costume which went on right away and stayed on till the end .

Hi Marg,
Is this the place for a sexist comment about women always changing their minds? And only 4, too.
