Good morning. It'll be a mild week by the standards of summer in the desert. Muggy though. I'll see if I can muster the energy to dig out the unwanted plants in one of our beds.
This place isn't filled with baseball fans but we've been enjoying the Diamondbacks games recently. Everything's clicking.
Enjoy your Monday.

Home from a great weekend with family at the cabin. Fun and work, grandsons arrived Friday evening and told me they only brought work clothes and said, just tell us everything you'd like to get done. Boy can they work.
I felt a little guilty Saturday afternoon and convinced them that someone needed to take the boat out and run it, to keep the battery charged.
Saturday night we smelted aluminum in the campfire and made some aluminum art and poured a large aluminum ingot.
Off to get the Prius serviced soon.

Good morning. Supposed to be a decent weather day today in Spring Hill. We've got the a/c tech coming by this afternoon for a semi annual check up. Looks like an evening bike ride later on.
Be well, be happy.

Good morning, all.
Hot, hot, hot here. Students are moving back in on campus, and classes start 1 week from today. Things will get really busy here pretty shortly, and that's fine.

Hello, friends.
Right now it's about 75° in Brooklyn, but the humidity is low and there is a nice breeze blowing through the apartment. I have some correspondence to attend to, and some laundry that needs, um, laundering. Plugged in the tribute to my mother guitar yesterday and was pleased to crank it up a bit and hear it rip. Distortion really gets your yah-yahs out.
It's the one on the left, built by Cindy Hulej, Rick Kelly's apprentice.
The one on the right Rick built for me about ten years ago.
Wishing everyone a good day.

Getting hot and muggy again, but not terribly hot and muggy.
It looks like we are facing housing issues again with our daughter and eldest granddaughter, due to landlords (large impersonal management company) raising rents multiple times per year and implementing schemes to tie tenants into long-term leases with higher rents (this had happened with an earlier housing arrangement, when she was sharing a house with other single moms). We might end up with them moving in with us for a few months (again). There is a distinct mismatch between her tastes in housing and her income.
Woke up with hip and lower back pain, so it's off to the gym. Yard work later.

One more week of no real work, it'll go fast. Rain this morning, but then sun is out and it's warming up quickly. I'll be handing clothes outside fairly soon.

Breaking camp this am. Headin to Yachats for three days. Wordle took 5. Had a great time at the rally, seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Dave P’s friends were not at this rally, (Oregon region 10 Seafood Rally) so, unfortunately could not say hi to them. Now, breakfast awaits.

Morning.
Eating a delicious Colorado peach.
We buy a couple crates of peaches every year from a local youth group that contracts with growers and brings in a semi. First delivery is from Georgia. Then later in the summer, the Colorado peaches come in. Both deliveries are great, but, every year, the Colorado peaches are the nicest, big, nicely colored, and so tasty.

Not much better than a good peach.
The license plate fell off my motorcycle. I will be off to DMV in a bit to buy a replacement, then to ace hardware to buy good license plate screws. Locktite might be in order.

A bad peach is the worst, but a good peach is as good as it gets. Dar found some Michigan free stone early in the season (paid $1.33 apiece) and they were most definitely the latter. This used to be between Silver Lake and Wabash. I probably drove under it a hundred times. It's so long gone that last week when I passed by the only thing that remains is an overgrown rise on the west side of the road.  |

Thanks, Mike. Nice Airstream!
Did you ever make the acquaintance of Karl and Carl, who were the owners of the See-Vue? It was a 1950s motel just south of Yachats that they renovated and created "theme" rooms. The wife and I stayed there in 2004, when Doc Froon and spouse drove down from Olympia to spend a weekend with us. They sold it years ago and it was turned into condos.
It's an incredibly beautiful place.

No, sadly, there are lots of great people I’ve never met.
Like you.
