The weirdest thing happened here today. Water came from the sky. Do you know why they call it Arizona? 😉🤠

Perhaps you have pleased the kachinas in some obscure manner.

Our closest professional sports team is the Shreveport Mudbugs hockey team. They just won their league championship for the second time. This is so surreal.

Too hot to do much of anything today. 100° already and still rising. The boyz and I will hang out en domicile and wait it out. I don't like Jack, at 11, doing a lot of hot-day running around. Fortunately, on a day like this he is happy to loaf and snooze. We're s'posed to get much cooler days toward the weekend, along with several days of rain. That will be good for my foodplot which is pretty dry right now. I should go out to the gunshack and load 9mm but I don't feel even up for that. I guess my pic should appear next to "lazy" in the Websters.

Started with a pipe and coffee in the backyard. I had just enough motivation to trim 2 bushes in the backyard and bag all the cuttings. Wife pick up some jars for me, and finished jarring the last of the shipment. Watching Germany-Hungary in Euro 2020.

Moved a freezer under the portal in back. Now, to tap into a neighbor's power line.....
I have to run a short length of Romex to where the freezer sits from my very own junction box.

Has anyone heard from Dewayne lately?
I have not noticed his posts of late.

I need a better lawnmower, but right now it's just a dream. I have to shift my weight like a bobsled racer to get traction on the hills. I NEED a locking differencial.

Yeah, but you will lose the benefit of the aerobic workout. Rockin Ronnie… you need to custom paint that chariot with that name and ride proudly!

It’s currently 1619 hours and temperature sitting at 90. It’s going to be another hot one here. Tomorrow’s temperature expected to get even higher with advisory warnings going off everywhere. Sad thing is people still need to be reminded not to leave their pets in the car. So much for common sense.

Mowed the lawn, watered the garden, pots and baskets, picked up suit for daughter's wedding, got some beer and ice, packed for weekend away, and ate dinner. This didn't happen until pipe and coffee in the backyard ritual was completed.

The PHX suns have been exciting to watch in the playoffs, on quite a roll.
The alley pop shot a few nights ago with less than a second was the shot of the year.
The clippers at home are giving them a run for the money.😕

A couple of hours before sunset two hen turkeys came thru with about a dozen 10" poults, right under the dinette window. Eli happened to be at the window at that moment and had a cow. They looked SO tasty! Jack? "Meh. Calm down, kid."

Took my truck in yesterday to get the bumper replaced that I dented when I backed into a tree. I already had the bumper, but some of the brackets were bent and had to be pulled. Picked it up today and I had to wait until they finished DETAILING IT! 😁 Good job on the bumper, even straightened a couple of dents Total $176.😍 It looks better than when I bought it.

Same here. The Knights just tied it 2-2. Go Habs! No idea what sport. The Montreal Canadiens and Vegas Golden Knights play hockey in the NHL. Montreal scored less than 2 minutes into OT to win the series and advance to the Finals. If you were being sarcastic, then nevermind .

Ron I’ve heard of filling tires with windshield wiper fluid, lowers center of gravity and helps traction, kind of like big tractors fill their tires with water. Might help.

I used water on one many years ago and the wheels rusted out in a year. The mower is 16 years old and probably doesn't have that long left. The Husqvarna I want has a locking diff and a heavier frame that weighs 200 pounds more than the current Craftsman.

We've been mighty dry. HOT and dry, with temps 100+. But now we have some mini-respite with 60/70° temps and some welcome rain. 3/4" last night. My alfalfa, clover, chicory feedplot was languishing, but I'm hoping it can now thrive.
