Good point. We're going to move 29 million Texans to Colorado. Just the western third which belongs to us anyway. π I thought Texans liked the eastern plains. They certainly moved into the NM flatlands. CO has plenty of flat open space in their east. Brain fart. I meant the eastern third. Directly North of the Texas town of Red River and east.

I will live in them when I retire. I probably would, but I never got a chance. Never could afford to live anywhere like that. Almost bought a lot at Angel Fire in 77, but didn't.

Lounged in my hammock for a couple of hours out in the middle of Monarch Lake. There is a rocky little island you can get to via a shallow area that has some strategically placed stepping stones. Very peaceful. The kids were out kayaking and circled the island in the picture. It is home to nesting osprey and off limits for human visitors.

Just so peaceful and beautiful. It sure was Brad. But too windy for a pipe. I did have a few nips of a 50/50 blend of Old Tub bourbon and blackberry whiskey I had in a flask.π

The view off the back deck of the rental right now. A brief thunderboomer just rolled through.

I've got nothing as beautiful as Don's posts, but it is significantly cooler here today than it was yesterday, despite clear skies all day, and the humidity is down again. It's very weird but I'll gladly take it.

Got to spend 2 hours and 45 minutes in the dentist chair today. π Great fun getting two side by side crowns replaced. Luckily theyβre not my clenching teeth. π

Not as cool here as it is up Pete's and Russ's way, but it is cooler than normal again. Looks like we'll get a couple more days of this before summer returns.

Slow day in the garden. Picked about a dozen tomatoes, mostly Roma, and four jalapeΓ±o. That's it.

Bought a (new to us) 2024 Subaru Outback Onyx edition today, it has 6,000 miles on it and was one of the cars the dealer used as a "loaner". It is pristine in and out...Very nice markdown, and when they went through and gave it the "certified pre-owned" designation, they added some more stuff...the car was already loaded. Crystal Black mettalic, Star-Tex upholstery...cooler in summer, warmer in winter than leather, cleans and stains less easy. The manager told me "It has been a while since I had someone come in with an 845 credit score", I told him "you can blame her for that, when I met her in 1980 I had a dentist bill that I owed for for six fillings"...If I saw a guy with pliers I thought it might be a debt collector. Wife's car, I still like my 2012 Nissan Frontier though, manual window cranks.

My base model 2014 Tacoma Regular cab has no cruise control, no keyless entry, not even intermittent wipers. And, I love it.

Pinched nerve in my back since this morning. Dropped me to the floor around 6AM. Ice and Tylenol relieved it some. Two hours late to work. Got me a few more times today. Treatment this evening is Tylenol, ice and a couple of double Old Fashioneds. What can you do?

I think I had one awhile back right at the femur and hip that subsided, I get-inklings that it is just in hibernation.

Nice car for the wife Charlie, DONT like all the electronic junk on newer cars, except this Avalon has lane change and brakes if something cuts you off, wife loves those features, she said a truck jumped in the front of her and car automatically almost came to a dead stop. Bought used 2017 Avalon,

Congrats on the new ride, Charlie! My Santa Fe Sport went into the shop on Monday. Yesterday, I was told I'm getting a whole new engine for free and a loaner car in the meanwhile.

You canβt go wrong with that! I heard that 100,000 Toyota Tacoma trucks are getting new engines. They were built during the Covid mess and they are having issues. Pretty crazy!

Suburu's are very popular in the Taos area with its liberal and progressive population. Once when I was debating a local conservative on FB he signed off by writing "Go polish your Suburu!". I had to laugh. THey are excellent cars and if I could afford to buy one I would. Black trucks and cars are abundant here because that is the correct color among younger people here. They all think they are bad arse. Part of machismo among the local population.
