If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

Good Mornin', Diners.
Draggin' around this morning for some reason. ::shrug:: Bright and sunny, 73° heading for the low 90s for the next few days. Yard grass is still growing, seems like cutting once a week is normal any more.
Dave, Folks are still praying for Miss Jane.
Looks like a trip into town is on the agenda for today, canned dog food for the toothless mini-dachsund and a sack of bird feed among other things.
Have a good day, knifers!

Good Morning.

A young neighbor (38?) replaced all the brake pads on my sister's car and also fixed a brake light issue on mine. He is quite skilled in many areas. I much rather pay him for the work than the sometimes questionable mechanics in town. And with 3 kids he can use some extra money.

peace & health

Morning folks, 71 for the low should top out in the low 90's. Sunshine a plenty.
Wampus was on his throne waiting patiently for breakfast.
The boss and I hit the ground running this morning, watered and fed the plants and the flower beds before it got too hot, then I cooked us breakfast while she finish up, she had a bacon and mater samidge, I had a country smoked sausage and mater samidge, tasty for sure.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there. ::handshake:: .

Good Mornin', Folks!
73°, just light enough to see outside and there is a silhouette of a deer under the sand pear tree along with a couple of othere smaller silhouettes that are probably raccoons.
A clear hot day is in the forecast, 90s again, then tomorrow the weather folks are calling for some rain. Starting to get dry again.
Never made it to town yesterday, just mowed all morning. Pretty sure we'll be going this morning after I get back from men's prayer. Y'all remember "Mother Hubbards cupboard"?
Have a wonderful day. ::tu::

Good morning. We've got a gorgeous morning up here and the weather has been awesome the past few days. We have had some heat but not enough to make things miserable, and the nights have been cool so we can cool the house down at night and close it up during the heat of the day on the few days it was a little to warm outside. Every thing was OK with Jane's pre-op yesterday so she is all set for Monday. Have a good Tuesday.____Dave

Morning folks, 72 the low heading to the mid 90's, to hot for trot. The old mother Hubbard rhyme l remember ain't fit for the FCD so I'll leave that be.
Wampus wuz here in all his glory, ate like he hadn't seen food for a month of Sundays.
Not much going on in this heat, trying to keep all this stuff the boss wanted planted alive. Whew dragging that old water hose is more work than I want.
Dermatologist appointment this afternoon, that's about the highlight of my day.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there, hydrate,hydrate, hydrate . ::handshake::

Good morning. Yeah JP, I was wondering where that picture was taken. I guess I don't know as much about Wisconsin as I thought I did. Yesterday got a little warm but not anything like the rest of the country is getting. I think rain is coming in tonight but it appears most is staying south of us. For us being still short on rain, everything sure is lush green and the under brush only allows visibility to a few hundred feet in most places off the roads or fields. One fairly large dead birch branch fell next to the house some time yesterday that we'll have to haul away and cut up. I didn't know the stand of birches next to the house even had some dead branches on them, and this one was 6 or 7 inches place it broke off at. I'm off to feed the chickens and figure out where to work today. Have a great Wednesday.____Dave

Good Mornin', Folks. ::handshake::
We recorded 93° yesterday, starting at 75° with clear skies.
I wish I had taken a screenshot of yesterday's weather forecast for today. Yesterday, today's weather was to be rainy, big time. This morning, today's forecast is nothing like what they forecasted. ::shrug:: One of my pet peeves if y'all hadn't noticed! No offense to you Northern brothers but there used to be an old sayin' when I was a little feller, "Only fools and Yankees try to predict Florida weather"! Big weather events such as hurricanes or winter cold fronts are usually quite accurately forecasted and appreciated. Like we've said before, we'll know for sure tomorrow what happened today. ::nod::
More mowing today after we get another can of gas at the farm store. Need to freshen up our game cameras sometime today. Bible study this evening at 6:30.
Y'all enjoy the day.

Morning folks, 72 heading to the mid 90's pop ups are possible. We drove through the edge of a nice shower yestiddy coming home from the VA.
Kinda late to the table again today, trying to get as much done as we can before the heat get unbearable. Fixed a big Joe scramble for breakfast this morning sure was good for a change.

Wampus was laying on his throne ready for breakfast, this heat has him off his feed seems like, even the hummers have slowed down.
Got my hay crop cut and rolled over the last couple of days, sure looks nice and the smell is nice when fresh cut.

The dermatologist cut out a couple of places on my lower leg and one off my back yestiddy, pathology sould be back in a couple of weeks.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there don't forget to hydrate. ::handshake::

JP and Dave, that picture was taken from the Soo Locks boat tour boat, inside a lock. I'm on vacation now with the family. We stayed 2 nights in Sault Ste Marie and we're now headed for Sleeping bear dunes on lake Michigan's east shore, staying in a town called Manistee. We'll spend 2 nights in a cabin on small Tainer lake then take the ferry across the lake, from Ludington Michigan to Manitowoc Wisconsin.
