Not going to make it down now. Decided I shouldn't (again) cancel my overdue "annual" physical.

BTW, visibility here sucks with NW Minnesota and Canada on fire. B-25 from Mpls that was supposed to fly to Granite Falls and fly with their B-25 today, cancelled because of low visibility. Too bad, think they could have just put it on the deck and done a low altitude buzz all the way out and back over Hwy 212. Flat terrain, nothing taller than a grain silo. ;)

Do hope things clear before the Fly Cloud airshow this weekend. Trying to shoot pics of airplanes against a hazy white sky is pretty much a no go.

Full Disclosure: I do get it, too much traffic around the cities and these should be fair weather only flights.

Lawn maintenance update. As of today I have mowed twice this year. Total run time on the B&S 5.5 HP is 29 minutes. :oops:

Grass is technically long enough to mow right now but it won't be smart since there is no rain in the forecast and temps are going to be surface of Mercury level into next week.

I was going to make sure you knew about Flying Clouds stuff this weekend.

I am worried about the smoke causing issues with arrivals to Oshkosh. Thousands of GA planes trying to see each other in the air with very hazy conditions is a little unnerving.
 
Hope you guys have a great time! When you first mentioned it, we tossed around the idea of doing a day trip up there to say howdy, but then realized we were going to the Gridiron dinner on the same night. Some other time, I guess. :)
Is Lil' wxman riding shotgun with you?
 
Problem student with their free labor "second chance" has re-emerged with a rough draft of some sort.

Instead of reading it through, I went to her bibliography to see the sources in use here, since turning those in was one of several missed deadlines along the way. We've got an NBC News story, a YouTube video, some blogs, and nothing that should be used.

Noted that for her. She replied with "sure I have primary sources. They're in my bibliography."

I replied with "No. Those aren't. You'll need to start over."

They never should have opened up the door for this to happen. Let people live out their consequences instead.

I think I mowed for the 3rd time on Monday.
 
I eat a LOT of salmon, this cannot be questioned. Now pondering whether I like salmon a lot or just eat it because it pairs well with the wines I like. Must ponder some. Will have to factor in that it is super easy to prepare for an unskilled cook.

You say salmon I say steak. I think it is the same reasoning minus the vino.
