As a union member for 40-plus years, I will enjoy this day off, planning to do some domestic duties and make a Target run for a little bit of everything.

We are having a run of amazing weather. Makes it hard to stay indoors without enormous guilt. The hilly county park where I walk has great mountain bike trails and this year they built a bike park with jumps and all sorts of gnarly features. Last night there were a bunch of young hardbodies having a great time navigating the place. My dad liked to describe such types as “nothing but muscle, bone, and reproductive organ.”  |

Overcast day but who cares?
Enjoy your grilled whatever today.
We are having barbecued tofu and brown rice cakes.

Favorable conditions for Northern Lights recently -- this from Mentor MN, up near Tandbergia.  |

Good morning
65F-76F mostly cloudy
I was going to make that 12 hole classical bridge jig today but Tyler wants help with a couple of Strats. He helps me out quite a bit so I'll shift to the dark side for a while.
Riley is limping and favoring his left leg. He'll let me inspect it without any complaint. I'm hoping he just pulled a muscle.
We shopped yesterday so Labor Day dinner could be a lot of things.

Good morning. I spent an hour annihilating weeds. Temperatures will be high so we'll hunker down.
Enjoy your day.

A chilly omen... Lowes has pulled their lawnmowers and the store front is lined with snowblowers.

Happy Labor Day. I too was in a union, just while in college working for Oregon State University farm service. I thought it was a good arrangement at the time.
Another nice day here in dogville. My son's pit-bull mix is lying at my feet - I think he has adopted me until my son returns. At the dog park yesterday he challenged a couple other dogs, but wearing a muzzle, he is no threat. Still makes me nervous and I don't think I will return with him. My fear is that he will get torn up in a fight.
Time to turn on the amp and pluck some strings.

Bill would have liked my initial post if I had said we were having ribs, garlic bread, salad, more ribs, and snickerdoodle pie with ice cream. 🙄

As a union member for 40-plus years, I will enjoy this day off, planning to do some domestic duties and make a Target run for a little bit of everything. I was a union member in the 1960s. UAW local 551 at Ford’s Chicago assembly plant. I even became recording secretary of that 4,000 member local. My “kid” brother, Bruce (now 74), spent an entire career in labor leadership and was for a long time Iowa state president of the American Postal Workers Union (APWU). His daughters graduated from Yale and Brown and have devoted their careers to labor organizing. |

I was a local union rep for a few years. Kind of a thankless position, but somebody had to do it. Retirement suits me better. Potato salad is made (by me). We (Mr. H) will be grilling burgers later. A friend, the guy who hosts our weekly Zoom social call, is in the hospital after falling yesterday and breaking 3 ribs. He's obese and has a few health problems. I feel for him because he has been so careful during the pandemic, barely leaving the house and very afraid of getting COVID. Now he's stuck in the hospital. Mr. H will be hosting the call tomorrow, but doesn't have a paid account, so it may be 3 different meetings of 40 minutes each. Or I may have to set up an account and host the one in the middle. Depends on what the Zoom gods let him schedule. Meanwhile, I haven't seen anything about the power outage in Bullhead City, AZ, where it will hit 113F today and 115F tomorrow. www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2022/09/05/storm-knocks-out-power-bullhead-city/7996330001/ |

I guessed a thing in February. 🙂 "Johnson will almost certainly exit somehow or another before the next general election. The Tories have some leeway on the timing and nature of the exit...... I think Foreign Secretary Liz Truss may beat the others quietly jockeying for the position of next leader." acoustictalk.proboards.com/thread/58267/party-boris-johnsons |
