Obviously wasn’t one that concerned me or else the wife would have called me before 10 to tell me I had to fix it.

Playing thread catch up this evening and this made me LOL. Since they weren't drinking the fluids (thankfully!) and just making a mess it seemed okay to laugh.
My experience with kids visiting earlier in the week was not so funny. Might end up being an expense repair for Uncle Boxster.
Yeah, temps look bad for a stretch here. The weather doesn't know what to do this year. I am not conditioned for this heat so I hope to get a good 8 hours in before noon and it gets too hot. Thank goodness for flood lights and good headlamps. I have to remember to keep drinking water which I am bad at.
Cut down my magnolia street yesterday late afternoon. Been fighting the infestation of scale on it for years and I had just had enough to them covering everything under the tree with gooey sticky "honeydew", which is actually scale crap. Figured I could get it cut up and into bags and bundles for Monday AM pickup. Mostly done, bit more cutting the big trunk bits into four foot lengths. DND from heat but did completely sweat soak all of the clothes I was wearing.
Need to pop out and maybe hit that final cutting cutting....the index is only 90 and will be 107 later.

Fireworks tents are springing up all over the place. If we don't get any rain it could be real dangerous come 4th of July weekend
It was my mom's birthday earlier this week, family supper was fried chicken, potato salad, watermelon, cantaloupe, and cherry pie for dessert. It was a darn good meal. For lunch I made her a batch of tapioca, she likes it but isn't patient enough to make it.

Trying to get my family to play cards or anything is harder than pulling out Excalibur. I've been trying for years and I even said my gf likes to play euchre and still couldn't get a game going last night.
Well, finished bagging and bundling branches from the magnolia I killed Friday and the neighbors redbud that I pruned*** today. Woof. Probably too hot out for a guy 70-something to be doing this but I did do it in short shifts with timeout in the house to cool off and hydrate. I'd say the breeze helped, "breeze" being 20 mph winds and 35 mph gusts.
Oh, and DND.
*** Note: Their tree is near the property line in front and the guy had sort of butchered it with lots of stubby branches just cut off and lots of dead stuff. I texted them that if it was okay with them I'd take out some of the dead stuff on my side of it...said I was going to be out doing stuff for yard waste pickup on Monday anyway. Left out that I've been wanting (really needing!) to prune it because it bugs me each time I look at it. Looks pretty good right now! Bit-o-work but glad they said they did not mind me taking a saw to their tree. Nice folks, just not good at tree stuff.

For Snoop that's not a special ingredient, just a normal, everyday ingredient...
The first time I saw this recipe online there was a comment something like "I imagine someone that's had the munchies for 40 years would probably make pretty good cookies by now"
Haha none of the ones I've previously mentioned actually. A totally new girl. We met in the bar I always go to after work. I had seen her there a couple times before, and she had noticed me too.
One night about a month ago, I was there after work, foreman had already left, I stayed to eat I think and watch the game. She comes in and sits down next to me. We just start talking. It's like 5:00. Keep on talking with each other and before we know it it's 8:00. 2 nights later we randomly met there again, and I had almost left too, just talked with each other and before we knew 4+ hours had gone by.
Been going good ever since. Multiple dates and we get together most nights during the week for a drink or food.
Totally random, neither of us were really looking for anything either. I was taking a break, was getting overwhelmed from people trying to set me up.
