Seeing reports of high winds & hail in Wisconsin. Hope everyone is ok.

Should have gone camping this weekend. It is in the 70s here in SC & the humidity is low too. Got a lot of yard work done though.

Lawn boys were good mowers. Both of my grandmothers had one. I cut a lot with those mowers. My first 2 bikes were JC Penney’s version of the Schwinn Stingray. Both were stolen. Then i got a Rampar BMX. Now I have a Trek Emonda road bike.

You are lot older than me. I was born in ‘68. We had a big RCA console as well. When we got cable we pick I Channel 17 WTCG which later became WTBS & even later, just TBS. We could sort of pick up Channel 17 as a UHF without cable but it was spotty. We played ball of all sorts & pretended to...

How rural is my county & how trusting are they of each other? There is a small dairy farm there called Southern Oaks. They sale milk & make ice cream. We got some tonight for our cross country runners to celebrate the end of summer conditioning. If you want anything you drive to the farm...

In the grocery store parking lot the other day was large camper (40 ft) towed by a pickup truck. The couple was standing near it getting through food out of their carts. I was tempted to go ask them if they slept in it just to turn the tables on someone just for once.

Congratulations, hope you get many more nights in your CI.

That makes in sense Chicago with your shorter summer. I’ve got an aunt/uncle there & when visit them we often get there in the middle of June & my cousins had just finished school. In SC in August, we ‘re all sitting in the AC. The low last night was nearly 80.

That would’ve been rough on the teachers. Lol. We have so many kids in fall sports or in the marching band, we’re all in town & at school for practice. We only have 350 kids total. I coach Cross Country in the fall so I would have to be around anyway.

5:45 - oh good, we have an 85% chance of rain in the next 30 minutes. 7:45 - we now have a 2 % chance of rain.

Someone just took it on to do that. Look at the thread in the Awards titled New Manager for Awards.

It’s a trade off over when you start up and end. We never have waited until Labor Day to here. We always started in the middle of August. The coastal counties in SC wait to start, but they want their teens available for hospitality & restaurant jobs when during the heavy tourism weeks which...

2 more days and the school year starts for me. Mary Ellen has another week to go.

Like that one and Cook’s in Lexington. I knew I had better shot at being able to park the camper there.

Pictures from our 25K miles with Jeremiah starting with picking up in Necedah and our first camping trip in it at Oconee State Park. The cat inside was Indira (Himalayan). She loved the camper; we always had to check for a stowaway before taking off. The cat you’ll see is Ginger. He’ll sleep in...

We have 3 of the Ryobi fans you clip on. Ryobi and its parent company TTI have a big facility in my city. And we have Direct Tools Outlet store here too that sales mostly Ryobi branded stuff. Sometimes the price is no different than at Home Depot, but sometimes it’s a good deal. The fans are...

If you are planning a 2025 Grand Canyon trip this year, the North Rim will be closed for the season after fire burned many of the facilities there including the lodge & other buildings. https://apnews.com/article/grand-canyon-wildfire-lodge-north-rim-f3510c22a6fddc9ff1322dbd450aedb8

Yes, our hike in NM was an out/back trail. Normally try to avoid, but this was really different going in the opposite direction.

My mother and a couple of my aunts go just about every month. Small jobs like recovering seats my mother can do and she likes doing it. She’s become the family upholstery person. We had hoped to find something in the remnants where you pay by the pound. Couldn’t find anything we liked that...

We decided it was time to replace the curtains in our CI. We live in what once a textile hub and there still is some textiles here. One place is warehouse that opens one weekend a month to the public. This was the weekend since last weekend had the 4th on Friday. They have just about any type of...
