I thought it was Sunday also.

Think it is but hard for me to tell since I don't get a paper newspaper anymore. Big paper meant Sunday.

Damn, it is HOT out. Same weather as Ames. Heat index in the 90's and dew points in the 70's. Ack.

When you empty the dishwasher, do you completely empty it and then load the current dirty dishes or do you do a rack, load the dirty dishes in that rack and then empty the other and load the other. I completely empty and then load. My wife does it rack by rack and I think it’s odd. Who is the odd dishwasher person?
Completely empty then load.

So would anyone say Stranger Things is stressful as the series goes on?

Just started watching and only two episodes in. Just looking for something to watch that's intriguing but not to voluntarily stress myself out.

Example of what's defined as stressful to me is The Walking Dead in earlier seasons.

So far Stranger Things has been that--intriguing and a little eerie but makes me want to keep watching.

Not exactly sure.
I was out early Saturday morning, it was raining pretty good. Surprised it was that much. Definitely needed it.
May be less at the site. The farther north and East you go, the more. There was no standing water when I went up this afternoon to do a couple things on the yard.

AC went out at my house yesterday morning. Can’t get anyone here until tomorrow or Tuesday. Wife is sleeping at her parents house with the dog tonight since it’s 90 degrees in my house. Meanwhile, I’m thriving.

If you mean stressful as creepy horror show like, it evolves away some from that IMHO. Maybe becomes more sci-fi fantasyish? It's a great show and I am not a horror movie genre fan. @cyrocksmypants is sort of an expert and big fan of this show so he should weigh in.

I don’t know if I’d say it’s stressful, but I didn’t want to stop watching until it was over. So, stressful as in “not going to accomplish much” I guess? Other than the kids, don’t get attached to very many of the adults. The ones you end up liking probably aren’t long for the world.

Highly recommend though. Season 1 was absolutely phenomenal. Season 2 was....okay. It was necessary for background building. Season 3 was fantastic. Great balance of thrills and suspense paired with some really well done comedic relief.

True confessions. Was just getting ready to paint basement bath and dropped the unopened gallon can of primer in my utility room. Of course it popped the lid and landed top down. What a ******* mess. Had a one hour delay cleaning that up. Being 2020 I didn't even swear much. More of a dejected "Ah, **** me".
