Don M. said:
Yesterday was my 77th birthday, so we went to the casino....I broke even, and my wife won a couple hundred....and we had a great free Supper. Sunday, the oldest daughter had a birthday party for me, at their lake house, and the Son-in-laws and I went fishing for a couple of hours in the morning. It was a really nice weekend.

Belated Birthday greetings Don,thanks for sharing what you did on your special day Sue
 
Had a hard time sleeping last night so it was hard to get up. Fed the pet family, and myself. Watched tv and the rain outside.
 

So far I had a wonderful time today. I watched my 9yr old granddaughter while my daughter had a job interview to be a visiting Pediatric nurse. My granddaughter filled my day with joy and my daughter got the job. My husband also was a good boy and listened when I told him to sit down and rest. Of course he didn't listen to me at first but then my granddaughter told him and sat him down and hugged him and he finally listened.
 
On the courts for a few hours, then over to daughters, grabbed the grandkids and took them to lunch at a little Mexican restaurant. They love chips and salsa! Then to the playground. Dropped them off 2 hours later. Fiddled around in my office at home, watched Judge Judy. Dinner with the wife. Around 7pm grandson FaceTimed me to come over and have s’mores . Home by 8 to watch Bachelor in Paradise with a glass of Cabernet. Now watching the Rogers Cup.....and another glass of Cabernet.
 
We had a major thunderstorm at 3:00 am last night with hurricane force wind, 3 inches of rain and a 6 hour power outage. I spent the day chain sawing major tree limbs into removable sizes. I won't be done with the primary cleanup tasks for a week or so. Realistically, I'll probably be finishing up some of the remoter areas through the summer and into the autumn. At 66 yrs old, slow and easy wins the race with this kind of heavy work.
 
The high point of my afternoon was a phone call from Rick's Aunt Pat. She is in her mid 80's, and she and Rick had a good relationship, and spoke on the phone often. This is only the second or third time we have talked since he died (not counting his memorial service). We talked about an hour. She had her husband do not have a TV, so she reads the papers a lot aod reads a lot of books, so she is quite well spoken and smart.
I will be seeing her next week, when I drive out to visit one of his cousin's (another niece to Aunt Pat) for lunch. It will be nice to get together with the two of them.
 
Well, Good Morning for Yesterday, and Goodnight for Last Night, and again Good Morning for today... I think that is the first full day I've missed here since I've been here. Slept in yesterday morning till 9:30 am Got up... Jacked up truck, took wheels off, and took one break apart to find it was like new, lots of pad left, so took off the other tire... and it was fine too... So I took the air hose and sprayed out the dust and rust... and put the brakes back together on the one side, put the tires back on, and will do this again in a year maybe, and hopefully the brake will stop squealing, hopefully it was just the dust and stuff, cuz there's lots of pad there yet... So put new wipers on the truck...

Anyways, here are the pictures I promised the other morning. I didn't take a picture of the garage before, but no six bags of garbage came out of it...

Temperatures will reach 101 degrees with Heat Index values in the 105 to 110 range with isolated areas over 110. The hot temperatures will increase the risk of heat related illnesses, especially in the elderly, young children, and persons with heart conditions. Take extra precautions if you plan to spend time outside.

Mostly sunny, hot and humid conditions will continue Thursday through Monday. High temperatures will range from the upper 90s to around 102 with max heat index values between 105 and 110.

It is almost 4 pm, went shopping just wanted some bananas .. came out with a trolly full, why I don't know, traffic is horrendous around here, schools are still off, heaven helps when it is back, got to do a bit of gardening to catch up with those weeds. :ROFLMAO:
 
Plumber here this morning to fix one of the toilets. His first attempt didn't work.
Ate leftover bacon from last night in the form of another BLT.
Folded and put away laundry.

74 and mostly sunny. I'd take doggie to the dog park but after a wicked storm last night, it will just be a field of muck.
