When we become this age, plans for retirement are more important.....So that would still make a trip to see Eli as just another work day. Can you at least manage to squeeze in a few hugs and maybe a kiss or twelve?

I'm sure it would have been good if my stupid fucking piece of shit computer could have accessed it, so I liked it anyway.
Hmmm... after being with Lannie for about a zillion years now, there is still at least a goodnight kiss every single day. Which reminds me, I should go get in bed now and snuggle my sick kitten. I am hoping my body energy can help him get better and it seems to be having some effect. More BS whenever...When we become this age, plans for retirement are more important.....
Do we have to guess? OK, here goes...he fell on his ass and broke his tailbone... AGAIN!
Sounded like it was something broken....hope not tho....Do we have to guess? OK, here goes...he fell on his ass and broke his tailbone... AGAIN!
You're gonna love this: High temperature today was 68 °F, cloudy all day, rain off and on, thunderstorms showed up early evening, Still raining. Thunderstorms likely to last all night,
Unreal about the continual rain, but those temps are really nice, regardless of the humidity
Yeah. Impossible to get much done outside.
Cleaned the pool filters today, I don't think it hit much more than about 95-98???...feels cool outside tonight while flooding my lil garden, which is nothing short of a miracle for July. Damn those melons are growing like wildfire. Gotta look on the interweb how long it takes for melons to ripen, my first dance with melons. Finally figured out positively I have honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon.
While I am glad to have these intelligent conversations on a daily basis, I also feel sorry that you didn't get to go see your honey.
Lannie doesn't do those, but she plays a mean game of backgammon.Damn Rich, you'll end up playing chess or a cheekers the remainder of the summer if the weather doesn't break.....
Just tried calling in the cats... heavy rain, 61 °F, and lakes in the driveway.
Gotta go in the next couple weeks, I'm getting older by the millisecond...and it seems to take an act of christ to get an export import license, unless your a millionaire....then the corruption kicks in and you're good to go.
Incredible.....haven't looked at the guess....is it supposed to keep raining?Lannie doesn't do those, but she plays a mean game of backgammon.
Big money has always been able to buy government officials... in EVERY country.
Depends on which version of the forecast you want to believe. One claims this shit will stop in a couple days and another says we will have thunderstorms every evening for the next week (as far out as their forecast went),
That ain't good, I assume there is about a 50-50% chance with all things "eliminated".
I have pretty much stopped believing in weather forecasts. Seems they're wrong, then something happens and they change the forecast to accommodate what happened, then later claim they said it would happen, even though the forecast they are touting was "after the fact," Maybe if we moved to the Shara, these bozos would be accurate: Sunny, Hot, with occasional scorpions.
Yup, it's ditto here too....sun, partly cloudy, sun, sun, sun, sun.........it's nice to see a cloud once in awhile though
Well, my friend, it is closing on midnight here and I need to crawl in the sack with that baby pussy cat and cut some Zzzzzzzs.
Hasta la bye bye.
Hasta la bye bye.
Glad I didn't leave for the weekend...my phone was going off with notifications at 6:30 AM....thought some idiot on the right coast was texting me....Opps, forgot about a 20,000 sf building I had scheduled for this morning.......
Oh well, made enough money in one day to make two trips.....

Given the late hour, I thought you had indeed flown south, but extra money is extra money...
Couldn't believe I forgot about it.....when the notifications kept coming on the phone I knew it couldn't be text messages, so I looked....oh well, was only about 15 minutes late.....and potentially saved the buyer $100,000 in immediate repairs needed. He was happy, and I was home by noon.....Given the late hour, I thought you had indeed flown south, but extra money is extra money...
One of the worst rains I have ever been in. A real live super duty SEVERE THUNDERSTORM (AKA Super Cell).
I was busy trying to clean out the junk in the garage (a multi-day project but a reasonable use of time for a rainy day) when Lannie told me one of the neighboring ranchers was on the phone. He came over with his 5th Wheel flatbed and, after much frustration, we managed to load the Bobcat and take it to Faith. After stops at the parts store and the vet, we headed back home and just before we got here, we had to pull over and stop because the rain was so heavy we could not see the lines on the highway right in front of the truck. What highway? If he'd gone in the ditch, we would not have known until the truck rolled over. While waiting for that to pass, the hail started. I was in fear of the windshield getting busted in on us. Luckily, that passed without much damage and he dropped me off at my gate. I staggered into the house and while discussing all that with Lannie, there was a super bright flash through all the windows and the electricity went out for a few seconds, THEN we heard the boom and it literally shook the house. That didn't clear up until almost 6PM, so we rushed evening chores and got back in the house just barely before the next downpour. Damn!
I am guessing we got 2-4" of rain just today. The corrals are just as deep in mud today as they were three months ago. What happened to Summer?
That is all well and good, but even if that message is from Gawd Himself, unless He is willing to also provide us with an idiot who will pay too much for this place and then show us a cheap house with grassy pastures farther south, it is unlikely we will ever get out of here.
We are living in this shitty weather and I am having a hard time believing it.
You made me chuckle, but I know it's far from funny.
I gotta hit the rack, I'm whipped. Have a good one, hope the sun shines tomorrow.
We only got up to 70 today and it is now 60. Given this pain-on-the-ass humidity, I can do with something cooler.Oh, I just looked at the temp in your area....may need heat tonight.....
Goodnight my friend. Have a good weekend.
Hope the sun was shining today.....was decent here, low 100's with about no humidity, felt nice.
I forgot the high (74?) but it was cloudy and misty in the morning, raining at noon when our hay man showed up to take away our two heifers, a couple minutes of sunshine in the afternoon (i.e., mostly cloudy). It seems to be clearing a bit now that it is dark.
Naturally, when you have to be outside, the rain begins....
He complained about the heavy rain he drove through to get here, so I responded with, "So it's your fault. You brought this shit with you."
Just went up and asked the thermometer what our high was today. It said 72.6

Yeah, this shit is almost enough to make me want to smoke again. I did say "almost," didn't I? 
I'm not sure how warm it actually was today, I'm up on a little hill in n scottsdale, the temp is usually about 5 degrees cooler than lowlanders....it's amazing what a few hundred feet can do temp wise. It's still cooler than anytime in the recent past I can remember....and the sun isn't burning the shit of the garden this year.
Meteorologically, temperature drops about 3 degrees per 1,000 feet rise in altitude. But it often is more than that, which can usually be accounted for because of the breeze of air moving down the hill, dragging cooler air with it.
Never thought about the "hill" in the backyard, which is about 1500 feet... I think.
Makes sense tho
Heard from Jimi today....damn, he said he's just been sick as hell. Nothing broken, just REALLY sick for some reason. He can't figure it out....and from what he explained, I have no idea either. Hope he's better soon though.
Well, that's what you get for having a "job." The only thing different here about a holiday as opposed to any other day is that there is no mail. OK, there is no mail on Sunday either, but I have it scheduled in my tiny brain to not walk out to the mailbox on Sundays.
I'll vote for that one!
