First Cup Diner!

[carvin don]

Sippin and checking the forums for spam and such. Got a long day of driving ahead of me today. Some days I'll drive 300 miles or more on my job. This could end up being one of those days. (At least I'll get to rest up tomorrow.)

Have a good one.

Whew...that's some mileage ... Phil, if you ever end up in Northern Virginia on your travels, 'lemme know and I'll buy you a cup or three. I don't drink the stuff, myself, as I prefer a bottle of pop in the mornin'. Take care out there and be safe.

Morning gents, Happy 4th of July! Sipping the first one and relaxing, going to do the lawn work before its too hot (gonna wait until 0800 out of respect for the neighbors) then heading down to New Bern NC this evening - the town conducts a terrific 4th of July celebration at Union Point on the confluence of the Trent and Neuse Rivers. I think tonight they are featuring the 440th Army Band and a Marine Corps chorus for a performance of patriotic music, followed by fireworks over the river - much fun.

Mornin' Colonel. Sounds like you have a great day planned but you have to wait until after colors to get started on the lawn work. No lawn work to do here, the lawn is about burnt up.

Happy 4th, guys and gals. I am lettin my first cup cool just a mite before starting on it.
Boni and I are going to our local daughter's home for BBQ and patriotic music. I love the music. Well, I love the BBQ, too. And the grand babies.
It'll be a good day for me and I hope all yawl have a good one too.

Ray, sounds like you have a great day ahead of you too! Have fun.

Jerry, this is the first summer in four years we aren't in a drought, actually 4" ahead of the normal average rainfall YTD, but due to the heat wave I still had to water several spots of my centipede last night so it could stand up and be cut this morning!

[jerryd6818]

Monk -- When it first got hot, I just toughed it out for a couple of days and then it hit me, "Why did I get an air conditioner if I'm not going to use it." Sometimes I'm such a DA (Dumb A--).

[Colonel26]

Strong black coffee = good

Morning fellers.

[TripleF]

Morning colonel, jerry.....

[Old Hunter]

Another Monday, another "first cup". Morning Gents.

[TripleF]

Mornin' Bruce. Everyone. (tip hat emoticon)

[jerryd6818]

Mornin' Colonel. Big week ahead of you?

I met my daughter yesterday, half way between here and there and picked up my 14, soon to be 15 year old grandson. He's going to stay with me for a week. I was worried about entertaining him but the week is filling up pretty fast. I need to get my cereal finished and my shower taken so I can get him up and in the shower. We have to go up to the VFW this morning for that memorial ceremony for my buddy.

A hearty 'good morning' to any late bloomers that show up this morning.

Edit: Well lookie there. Scott snuck in there while I was typing. Mornin' Scott.

[Old Hunter]

Jerry, Looking forward to lunch today with my best buddy from high school; he is a retired Army doctor who practices in MO now. He is making an infrequent trip back home to visit his parents and remaining friends in the area. Hitting the road on TUE - THUR for building material sales, then working on a rental unit on the coast on Friday (installing new toilets). Busy week - but looking forward to it all.

[TripleF]

Yeah, I'm thinkin'....what's the matter with me Jerry?

Knice recovery!

[jerryd6818]

what's the matter with me Jerry?

I don't think anyone knows, Scott.

[TripleF]

How long do you have? I usually reply to my wife when she asks me that............

[Cowboy7130]

Howdy, boys ... hope y'all are well ....

I went to bed last night with the thunder, lightning and rain playing beautiful music across the sky and on my roof. I awoke this morning to a bright blue sky and wet grass, and a hay field that has perked up considerably since yesterday!

[TripleF]

Mornin' boyz.

[Paladin]

Howdy, Scott. You are up and at 'em pretty early today. I have my first all brewed and coolin just a mite before I start on it.
