We have been daily-less too long this morning so I will step up.
Looks like a rainy day on tap.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast and do something fun today.
I have discovered I have a bunch of V Picks. No idea where they came from as I have no memory of ever getting them.
Does anyone here use them? I am not sure but they may be acrylic?
They sell for a few bucks each according to a quick Amazon check. They are a mystery to me.

Good morning. I was distracted by home-place things and am just now logging in. We're watching the F1 from Budapest and lamenting Hamilton's current situation.
Chores coming up; shower/bath drains still clogged and plumbers coming tomorrow; sunny and a high of 87° in New York today; hoping to get some more guitar playing in after chores are finished; cabinet maker supposedly coming tomorrow to finish installation of cabinets—veneers and doors still MIA. It drags on.
Wishing a very Happy Birthday to one of my favorite fiddle players, Alison Krauss.

I have a couple of v picks around here somewhere. Noisy little buggers.
Off to Amazon the county. Two developments that may or may not make a difference:
1. I read a news story out of Elkhart this morning. It seems there is a stalled $100 million Amazon distribution center in Elkhart. Maybe if they finish it, things will change in Kosciusko County. Maybe not.
2. Amazon has started a new (for lack of a better explanation) Doordash for Amazon. You can become an Amazon distributor. Apparently there is a reputable business owner in Warsaw who is launching one.

I made I back home yesterday about 6:00 pm, after dropping my SIL and his brother off in Souix City for the start of RAGBRAI.
Bikers were heading out, starting at 6:00 am this morning, 77 miles today.
Along the Missouri, in Souix City, high up on a bluff we saw the Sgt Charles Floyd Jr memorial. There is a large obelisk at the site. It was interesting to see, I never knew exactly where he was buried.

Breakfast was moose sausage scramble. Coffee being sipped. We’ll try to get a little hike in before it gets too hot.
We’ve got a few fires starting up around us to the north and south so here we go.

Good morning. All is well. Our cabin backs up to a national forest and my wife and I were both out early walking. It will be a hot afternoon for Flagstaff, but much better than being in Phoenix.

Eric and I will get together this morning with the goal of getting a good recording of Leroy Carr's "Midnight Hour Blues."
If we get something worthwhile, I'll drop the links to it here later today.

Up, coffee and a breakfast burrito. Had to deal with a yellow jacket nest last night, hopefully I got all the little nastys. Yellow jackets can have a serious attitude problem, and this nest was right by our tomato plants, so after dark I sprayed the crap out of the nest. Fingers crossed.
Bike ride and maybe pinnacle later.

Looking forward to it. I was so pleased to discover, once I moved to Indiana, that Scrapper Blackwell and Leroy Carr had connections to Indianapolis. |

Early in my career, I had a client in Sioux City and one in South Sioux City (a city on the NE side). We'd head up there a few times a year to visit clients. I had a number of NSFW adventures in Sioux City, back in the dark ages of business entertainment. |

I made that joke to her some time ago, and all I got was an eye roll.

I'm still trying to get my head around Perez's crew achieving a 1.9-second pit stop. |
