off-topic Good Mornin' Thread - For those that get up really early and post

Good morning. It's 80F on its way to 98F. RF today is forecasted to be 107F. Maybe a T-Storm. Under an extreme heat warning. Back is getting better. I might try weed eating then mowing this afternoon (WX permitting). Still borrowing my sister's mower. Parts for mine should be available today or tomorrow. The boss and granddaughter finished pickling the beets and canning the carrots. Today, they're harvesting the last of the onions. Not much else is going on. BLTs this evening. @ Sic: take care. I know how you feel. Be safe and be good.

Good morning. 62-95F, a hot time today. DVTs are quite painful and scary. Much better medical knowledge now that can reduce the pain. Take care of it!
Monday errands, coffee group, then medical appts. Yada yada. WX says we may have a mild monsoon T-Th, so I’m cleaning the drying garlic.
Have a great Monday. Take care yourselves and don’t overdo.
 
I believe I feel better, still some pain. Got home yesterday and took a 2 hour nap and I'm not a napper. Was then in bed around 6 and slept pretty decent until 3. Terrible sweats and I was cold, air is on 79. Did pick up work truck from shop yesterday after nap. Have to get some decent seat covers and couple other things before I'll be comfortable using new truck for work. Don't want to ruin things. Also no reason to stack miles on it. Old truck I've had for 21 years, its 25 years old and almost has 300,000 miles on it. Paid 4 grand for it back then. Things have changed,lol. Will be glad to get the day done and home. Easy restful evening. Supposed to rain all morning so who knows what we will get done? Have a great day and good morning.
 
Good morning. It's 74F on its way to 98F. Breezy and sunny. RF 103F. My back is at 90%. Going to work outside today. Enough of being laid up inside. The onions have been harvested as well as the green beans. Not much left out there with the exception of the tomatoes and peppers. Planning for the fall garden planting in a week. I'm going to try to get outside and trim. The yard still needs mowing too. Jambalaya this evening. @ Sic: Good to hear that the latest DVT attack might not be so bad this time. Nothing like a good old truck. My oldest truck just turned 20 years old and is approaching 200K miles. Be safe and be good.

Good morning. 72-90F with rain (!) predicted tonight. Still working on garlic and weeds. Sic-have you seen the doc yet about DVT? At least wear compression sock(s). Please let us know how things are progressing.
It looks like a hot week ahead, hope July heat will end soon. At least some dry season respite is here for us, only a few Japanese beetles so far (knock on wood). Being so late planting, they found better meals elsewhere.
Enjoy your day. Take care of yourselves. Healing takes time.

@ Catherinew: the DVT that Sic and I both have is diverticulitis. This is a disease of the digestive system. Not deep vein thrombosis.
 
Good morning. It's sunny and 68F, on its way to 83F. RF only 92F. Sunshine mixed with clouds. Gorgeous day! Finally home from the BBQ competition. This isn't one we judge, we help with "organizing" the Judges. It's like herding cats. On our feet at least 10-12 hrs a day, no sitting. It all hurts - feet, back, hips. It's gonna take a few days to recover, lol. Beautiful weather for the next couple of days. Cold air pushing down from Canada (briefly). Hope to get to the jungle...er...garden today, and admire the weeds. Hope everybody has a terrific Tuesday. Be safe out there and enjoy your day.
 
Good morning. It's sunny and 65F, on its way to 85F. RF still only 93F. Sunshine with a few clouds. Another nice day. As predicted, the garden is a jungle of weeds. It's gonna take some time to regain control. Need to run a few errands this morning, then I'll begin the assault, lol. Hope everybody has a wonderful Wednesday. Be safe out there and keep control.
 
Good morning. It's 72F on its way to 95F. Breezy with lots of sun but a little cooler. RF only 102F. Dewpoint came down a few degrees. Trimmed and mowed yesterday. Borrowed my sister's mower again. Of course, the parts for my mower haven't shown up yet. Fixed a small but elusive roof leak. Ironically, the boss found a leak underneath her main kitchen sink. I need to look at that today. Not much else is going on. I haven't left the property since I got back from Canada (1.5 weeks). I might make a run to town for a few things. Be safe and be good.
 
Good morning. 63-82F, still waiting for the promised rain. Maybe today. One of the CGardeners sent me a couple of bug photos early this AM. Better check it out as I have very few at home. Dr related appts. this afternoon, so I can check out bugs this AM. All of the garlic is cleaned finally, actually finding a few cloves with mold in the dry weather. Peeled a lot of cloves for the fridge so we’re good ‘til Christmas I hope.
Enjoy the beautiful day ahead. DR and I will be weeding for quite awhile, I’m sure. Stay cool.
 
4 small odd jobs this morning. Going to go and get a new phone this afternoon. Mine has been giving me problems for 2 years,lol. Hopefully get in some guitar later on. I do need to mow, probably knock some of it out before leaving this morning? Pork loin tacos tonight. Have a great day and good morning.
 
Good morning. It's 74F on its way to 93F. Partly cloudy. We're forecasted for heavy T-Storms this afternoon and flash flooding. This morning, I'm going to make that run into town. Also, the parts got delivered for my mower. I think I'll work on repairing the mower while it's storming this afternoon. Futzing is on today's agenda as well. I need to pick tomatoes and peppers before the storms arrive. Grilling pork chops this evening and having a few beverages. Be safe and be good.
 
Good morning. It's sunny and 77F, on its way to 90F. RF 100F. Humid and plenty of sunshine is the forecast. Guess the cool weather is gone for a while. Made it to the garden yesterday. Planted some stragglers and weeded until my back broke, as the saying goes. More of the same today. @harry, sounds like the back is back to working good. Now, if we could just get @Chuck's knee working better. Careful pulling all those weeds, @Catherine. It's a back killer! Hope everybody has a terrific Thursday. Be safe out there and enjoy your day.
 
Good morning. 57-84F with yesterday’s rain going south of us. Maybe today ha ha. Hubby and I pulled a lot of weeds yesterday and he even dug out purple iris that have been on my to do list for a couple of years. At the CG yesterday I didn’t see any bugs on my plants - yet. But the Jap beetles have returned to the home garden.
Weeding is on today’s agenda, mostly in the flowers that are being neglected.
Enjoy your day. Take time for yourself and your pets.
 
2 lawns to mow this morning. Then I'm chilling and futzing. I should was the trucks but I ain't promising. Definitely will pluck on that bass later. Went easy peasy getting a phone yesterday, I was surprised. It's usually a couple hours of being mistreated by the employees lol. Have a great day and good morning.

Good morning. It's 74F on its way to 86F. Humid (100% RH), heavy rain and T-Storms. Still under flood warnings. Expecting severe WX this afternoon. Got 2.55" overnight. Lots of thunder boomers and lightning. Yesterday, I got the mower fixed, fixed the boss's water leak under her sink, picked tomatoes/peppers and did some garden weeding. Today looks to a be a casual futzing day. I might casually futz in the barn, garage and basement. Not much else is going on. Grilling something this evening. Be safe and be good.
 
Good morning. 58-88F with our 15 minutes of rain hurrying off to Harry’s part of the country. Hot weather ahead for the weekend+, some of the plants love it, I’m sure. Medical appts. today, then more weeding at home. Hubby has been a dear digging out unwanted plants in our small space.
Enjoy the day as best you can - too much rain or heat can definitely put a damper on plans. Find joy in the garden.
 
Good morning. It's sunny and 82F, on its way to 93F. RF 106F. Sunny to partly cloudy, hot and humid with a thunderstorm around this afternoon. Paperwork this morning, then several errands this afternoon. Maybe some late day futzing as well. Hope everybody has a freaky good Friday. Be safe out there and respect the heat.
