Well Rich, I took a beautiful picture of a rainbow this afternoon with a complete black sky in the background, but it didn't rain a drop here, but the temp dropped about 20 degrees

Well, it is still, technically, summer, so it's about time we had a decent day.

Finally got someone over here to look at my roof for repair. He said they could do it, but they are all booked up until mid-December. He gave me the name of another guy who might be able to fix it. He said he doesn't do that work any more, so he will have a friend of his call me and maybe (maybe) he can do it. This is one of the big problems of living in the boonies. There are no full-time professionals and the part-timers might never fit you in. The nearest full-time professionals are 100 miles away and they don't want to come out here.

Unreal...what does it need, complete redo or just a patch?

Keepin' my fingers crossed. Sunny and 89 today. :)
Probably already dropped 30 degrees?

That is some nutty weather.

All the black clouds, rainbows, I think one drop may have hit the backyard, but I could be wrong about that drop, I actually doubt anything hit the earth.

Was driving home this evening, I could see it raining above me, but evaporating before it hit the ground

It was a kinda laid back day. I did stuff a bottle full of turmeric capsules, but not much else besides routine feed-and-water-critters chores.
Can't you get tumeric root in your part of the country?

It's cheap as hell here, all the stores have it....I buy it by the pound, and usually go through a pound every other week.

The fresh shit can be eaten like a carrot, it's delicious....I eat the roots with a salt shaker if they're not going in smoothies.

f you like fresh carrots
I do, but that's pretty rare because I never remember to buy any. Then if I don't remember to slice 'em and eat 'em. they go bad in the fridge. I am not very good about remembering food stuffs because, for the most part, I probably wouldn't eat at all if Lannie didn't put something in front of me twice a day. Many years ago, I was a real eater, but today I just don't seem to care about food.

I turned the opposite way, now I'm obsessed with healthy eating....and truly enjoy it

It's nothing short of a miracle I don't have some form of cancer or other chronic illness all I put this body through during my wildman days...and that was my nickname....Wildman....:crazy:

It's not that I eat junk like a wild man; more that without Lannie, I probably wouldn't eat anything. I'd sit at the table sucking coffee, vaping, petting the kittens piled on my lap, and ignoring the rest of the world. Then one day some stranger in a white dress would stick an IV in my arm and I'd look up and ask what that's for.

Takeda Issues US Recall of Natpara (parathyroid hormone) for Injection Due to the Potential for Rubber Particulate

Too late... it is already after midnight here and I have turned into a pumpkin. Uh, how did that fairy tale go?

How was your day, Rich?
Another sunny one with a high of 89 (both outside and in the house). I went to Faith today to talk to the guy about my Bobcat. It was finally in the shop and the old engine had been removed (boy, did that piece of shit look nasty), but the boss man was not there and the one guy who was did not have a clue what was going on with my baby. Anyway, after more than two months, they are finally doing something. Sigh...

Hopefully you'll have it in another month.
