ANOTHER PRETTY MORNING, 57 DEGREES HIGH TO BE 85, THEY SAY.
STILL DRY, I'LL DO SOME SELECTED WATERING.

DARLING WIFE IS GONE; THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING. THE DANGEROUS DUO ARE EN ROUTE TO COLORADO. DRIVERS BEWARE AT POINTS IN BETWEEN.

NO READOUT ON THE '87. THE HOOKUP FOR THE EARLY SYSTEM IS LOCKED UP IN THE WRENCHMEISTER'S TOOL BOX AND THE APPRENTICE CAN'T GET TO IT. HE HAS ONE ON ORDER FOR HIMSELF---ON THE WAY WAIT.

TIME TO FEED THE WONDERDOG. ENJOY OCTOBER, GURUS.

Hard to believe I once had a phone attached to a wall, and when it rang, I picked it up without knowing who was calling. :-O

ANOTHER FINE FALL MORNING, 59 DEGREES, CLEAR AD CALM.

LEFT HARVEY AT THE SHOP TO CHECK OUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HOPE THIS IS NOT ONE OF THESE OFF AND ON PROBLEMS YOU CANT DIAGNOSE TILL IT BLOWS UP.

MEANWHILE, THE TOMATO IS OUT AND IT'S TOP DOWN WEATHER :-)

TIME TO LET THE DOG RUN---

GOOD MORNING---

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four U.S. presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

ANOTHER PRETTY MORNING IN THE INDN NATIONS, SUNNY, CALM, AND COOL, IT'LL BE BORDERLINE HOT THIS AFTERNOON, 87 DEGREES.

AUTO ROTATION DAY, TOMATO UP, WEATHER FORECAST FAVORABLE FOR TOP DOWN DRIVING :-)

STARTED HARVEY UP, IDLED UP TO OP TEMP, NO CHECK ENG LIGHT.
THAT BOTHERS ME. MAY HAVE THE WRENCHMEISTER'S APPRENTICE LOOK AT IT.
HE SEEMS TO BE DOING OK, I DO WORRY ABOUT THE ADMIN SIDE OF THE SHOP THO---TOLD HIM HE SHOULD PUT HIS WIFE TO WORK IN THE OFFICE. "I'M NOT MARRIED." GREAT, I SAID YOU CAN MARRY A BOOKKEEPER. AN ELEGANT SOLUTION, RIGHT?

DARLING WIFE'S TRAVEL PLANS EVOLVING, HER COLLEGE FRIEND FROM TULSA IS GOING WITH HER; ETD NOW WEDNESDAY. TWO OLD LADIES AT LARGE BETTER THAN ONE, I THINK.

KEEP UP THE FIRE, Y'ALL!

TOMMY: God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the world. Then he made the earth round...and laughed and laughed and laughed.

IT SEEMS THE CITY OF NEW YORK HAS DECIDED WHAT TO DO WITH THE ILLEGALS TEXAS GIFTED THEM WITH:
THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THEM ALL ON A RENTED CRUSE SHIP. THE SHIP WILL THEN MYSTERIOUSLY SINK. TRUMP WILL THEN BE BLAMED. :-)

REMEMBER YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST---

ANOTHER PRETTY DAY HERE, 64 AND CLEAR, SHOOTING FOR 84 THIS AFTERNOON. THE NATIONS ARE GETTING AWFULLY DRY AND NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST :-(

DOG HAS BEEN RUN AND FED AND THAT TAKES CARE OF THIS MORNINGS AGENDA. JUST FINISHED A BOOK ON THE RUSSIAN T-54/55. RATHER REMARKABLE HISTORY, THE VOLKSWAGEN OF COLD WAR TANKS.

ENJOY YOUR DAY, AMIGOS!

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us---

Quote:

HA! HOW 'BOUT 55? :-O

SUNNY, CALM, AND 53 DEGREES THIS MORNING, HEADING FOR 84 THIS AFTERNOON. THE CHEROKEES THINK THIS ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY :-)

GOT THE USUAL FIRST OF THE MONTH TASKS TO PERFORM, OTHERWISE NOTHING ON THE AGENDA. YESTERDAY IN TAHLEQUAH HARVEY CUT OUT ON ME UNDER MILD ACCELERATION, RECOVERED, SES LIGHT ON, DROVE HOME WITHOUT A BAUBLE. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TODAY.

DARLING WIFE PENDING DEPARTURE TO THE "WHITE ELEPHANT" CABIN IN COLORADO; SHE'S VACILLATING ABOUT WHEN.

TIME TO LOOSE THE GREAT HOUND---Y'ALL ENJOY THE DAY.

MY FAVORITE MONTH---

COLD, CALM, SUNNY IN THE NATIONS, 44 AT TAHLEQUAH, PREDICTED HIGH 78. BY-BY SEPTEMBER :-)

GOT NEW ANTIFREEZE IN HARVEY YESTERDAY; DIDN'T RESTOCK DOG FOOD. NEED TO DO THAT TODAY. FL FRIENDS CHECKED IN, MINOR DAMAGE, NO BIG DEAL. NO HUMMING BIRDS SIGHTED YESTERDAY, ARE THEY REALLY GONE?

OUR OMNISCIENT GOVERNMENT HAS DECREED THAT KIDS WITH LICE MUST NOT BE SENT HOME FROM SCHOOL. IT MIGHT DAMAGE THEIR LITTLE PSYCHES. MUST KEEP THEM THERE TO SPREAD THE BUGS; EQUAL LICE FOR ALL.
LICE CARRY TYPHUS, SO I'VE READ.

REMEMBER THIS IN NOVEMBER.

AND THIS IS THE LAST OF THEM.

THE SUN IS SHINING, THE WIND IS BLOWING AND IT'S 61 DEGREES IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING. FALL IS DEFINITELY HERE.

TOOK HARVEY IN EARLY FOR COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH & ANTIFREEZE REPLACEMENT. THE OTHER TOY CARS ARE DUE ALSO AND MAYBE THE TRUCK. I SHOULD HAVE SPACED THEM OUT BETTER :-)

I THING THE HUMMING BIRDS ARE ON THEIR WAY SOUTH. MONDAY EVENING THEY WERE SWARMING AROUND THE FEEDERS, DIDN'T SEE ANY TUESDAY, THEN ONLY THREE OR MAYBE THE SAME ONE YESTERDAY. STRANGLER? THEY MUST TRAVEL AT NIGHT AND FORAGE DURING THE DAY.

THE FLORIDA KIN ARE OK, THERE ARE FRIENDS THAT HAVE NOT RESPONDED, BUT THEY ARE LONG TERM RESIDENTS WHO KNOW TO REACT, SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEM.

ALWAYS FORWARD, Y'ALL!

GOOD MORNING---

SUNNY, CALM, AND COOL IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, ANOTHER PRETTY FALL DAY EMERGING.

NOTHING MUCH ON MY AGENDA, A BOOK DUMP AT THE LIBRARY, CHECK ON TIME FOR COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH. NEED TO SWEEP OUT THE BARN---LOW MOTIVATION.

TOMMY: IS THE STORM TRACK CLOSER TO YOU NOW? GOOD THING YOU KNOW HOW TO PREPARE.

LETTY, IS YOUR CAR DRIVABLE NOW? YOUR PATIENCE MUST BE WEARING THIN.

MY BEST TO YOU ALL!

GOOD MORNING ALL---

FALL HAS FELL: 55 DEGREES IN TAHLEQUAH, 52 ON THE FRONT PORCH. LONG SLEEVES, SOCKS, SUMMER IS OVER---AT LEAST TILL AFTERNOON :-)

GOT SOME ERRANDS TO RUN, GO TO MUSKOGEE, RESTOCK BIRD SEED.

ENJOY YOUR DAY, GURUS.

GLAD YOU ARE OUT OF THE PATH, TOMMY.

IT'S RIGHT FALLISH OUT THERE, CALM AT THE MOMENT, 49/82%. THE SUN IS SHINING AND THE PREDICTED HIGH IS ONLY 82. THE CHEROKEES APPROVE. I MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOCKS THIS MORNING :-)

AUTO ROTATION DAY, HARVEY UP. DIDN'T PUT MANY MILES ON THE BUMBLEBEE LAST WEEK. MAY HAVE TO START THINKING ABOUT ANTIFREEZE, IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS.

AS ANDY SAID, TIME IS FLYING BY, HERE IT IS THE LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER. I WONDER IF WINTER WILL BE AS SCREWY AS THE FIRST PART OF THE YEAR? THIS KIND OF ERRATIC WEATHER LED INTO THE "LITTLE ICE AGE" SOME CENTURIES AGO. NOT A PLEASANT THOUGHT!

SUNNY, CALM, AND 71 IN THE NATIONS, A PRETTY DAY AHEAD IT SEEMS. 85 IS THE PREDICTED HIGH; NICE.

OPEN AGENDA TODAY; OFF TO A SLOW START.

HELLO---

SLEPT IN THIS MORNING TO 0700 :-O
OVERCAST AND MILD, A DIM START TO THE DAY. 74/73% AT 0914 HR, -> 92.

FALLISH AROUND HERE, THE GOLDFINCHES ARE GOING INTO WINTER UNIFORM. THE MALE HUMMING BIRDS ARE LONG GONE BUT THE DILATORY FEMALES ARE STILL HANGING ABOUT. MUST BE WAITING FOR WORD FROM SOUTH AMERICA :-)

THE WONDER DOG REPORTS NO MONSTERS, BOOGERS, OR TURTLES FOUND IN HIS MORNING RECON.

TEE, THE THINGS YOU BUILD ARE AMAZING. THE QUALITY SHINES EVEN IN PICTURES!

ALWAYS FORWARD GURUS!

HI Y'ALL---

SUNNY WITH A SLIGHT BREEZE, 62/60% AT 0809 HR. PREDICTED HIGH IS 86. AIN'T NO FLIES ON THAT, BUT SUMMER MAKES A BRIEF RETURN TOMORROW.

BROKE DOWN AND DID SOME SELECTED WATERING YESTERDAY, IT'S PRETTY DRY AROUND HERE.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA, MAY DO SOME STUFF IN THE YARD.

KEEP ON, GURUS.

FALL IS FELL---BUT WINTER IS NOT YET HERE.

HI MATT

IT'S RATHER DIM THIS MORNING IN THE NATIONS, BREEZY, 66/71% -> 80 THIS AFTERNOON. IT'S NICE TO GET A BREAK FROM THE HEAT---AGAIN.

NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL ON THE AGENDA, JUST A GROCERY RUN TO TAHLEQUAH.

ENJOY YOUR DAY, EVERYBODY!

ANOTHER STICKY MORNING, DARLING WIFE TELLS ME "IT'S A NEW DAY". SEEMS REMARKABLY LIKE THE OLD ONE TO ME. WE MAY COOL OFF A LITTLE TONIGHT THEY SAY.

FIVE DEER IN THE YARD WHEN I GOT UP THIS MORNING, TWO DOES AND THREE FAWNS.

THE WONDERDOG HAS BEEN RUN AND FED. HE'S BEEN COMING BACK PROMPTLY, MUST HAVE MADE THE CONNECTION THAT LATE MEANS NO BREAKFAST :-)

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY, DNBFS

ALWAYS FORWARD GURUS!

SUNNY, CALM, 74/81% AT 0812 HR -> 97. HOPE WE HAVE A LITTLE BREEZE---

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY.

QUESTION: WHY DO SOME PICS SHOW WHEN POSTED AND SOME DO NOT, AS ABOVE? NON-DIGITAL MINDS WANT TO KNOW :-)

GOOD MORNING

HEY TOMMY, YA GOING IGUANA HUNTING WHEN THEY ESTABLISH THE BOUNTY?

SUNNY AND STICKY IN THE NATIONS, 73/82%, -> 95. SOME IMPROVEMENT WEDNESDAY, MAYBE.

AUTO ROTATION DAY, BUMBLEBEE UP. HAD THE TOP DOWN ON THE TOMATO ALL WEEK, BUT IT'S GOT TOO HOT FOR COMFORT NOW.

FINISHED CLEANUP ON THE NEW TOY, BUT NOT TO MY SATISFACTION. NEVER GOT ALL THE BAKED ON CARBON OFF THE GAS PISTON. MAY HAVE TO GET A REPLACEMENT TO SATISFY MY COMPULSION :-)

OFF TO A NEW WEEK, HAVE FUN Y'ALL!

HI Y'ALL---

THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF DENVER PLANS TO GIVE $1000 A MONTH TO SELECTED "HOMELESS" (AKA STREET BUMS).
WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH THAT? IT'S JUST TAX MONEY---
P.S.
HETEROSEXUAL WHITE MALES NEED NOT APPLY.

WHAT PLANET DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE ON???

SUNNY, CALM, AND STICKY, 75/82% AT 0800 HR, HIGH OF 94 PREDICTED. EXPLETIVE DELETED.

WORKING ON THE NEW TOY AGAIN, GAS SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NEVER CLEANED, CARBON BAKED ON THE PISTON; HARD TO GET IT OFF, ABRASIVES A NO-NO.

JUST NOTED ANTIFREEZE IN THE TOY CARS IS TWO YEARS OLD. TIME FOR A FLUSH AND CHANGE.

KEEP UP THE FIRE, AMIGOS!

SUMMER HAS COUNTERATTACKED---

ANOTHER SUNNY MORNING IN THE NATIONS, 72/67% AT 0831 HR, 91 THE PREDICTED HIGH. SUMMER IS INFILTRATING, HOPE IT'S THE LAST SHOT OF HOT :-)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MATT!

NOTHING MAJOR ON THE AGENDA, A TAHLEQUAH RUN TO RESTOCK RAWHIDE CHEWS FOR THE WONDER DOG.

HAD THE TREE TRIMMERS HERE YESTERDAY, CUT OUT LOTS OF DEAD WOOD, CLEARED SERVICE LINES TO HOUSE. TREETRIMMER'S GRANDSON HAS TAKEN OVER OPERATIONS. SEEMS ALL MY GO-TO HELP HAS RETIRED---

G'MORNING ALL---

SUNNY, CALM, AND COOL IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, SUMMER RETURNING TOMORROW THEY SAY, EQUINOX LOOMING.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY. HANDS UNUSUALLY PAINFUL, GUESS WORKING ON THE NEW TOY AGGRAVATED THE ARTHRITIS.

TIME TO FEED TROUBLE. HE WAS DILATORY RETURNING FROM HIS RUN YESTERDAY AND SO MISSED BREAKFAST. HE MAY BE SMART ENOUGH TO MAKE THE CONNECTION.

THAT'S A LOT TO EXPECT OF A DOG :-)

FALL IS CREEPING UP---

TIME FLIES LIKE AN ARROW; FRUIT FLIES LIKE A BANANA.
MARX

63/78% AT 0818 HR, PREDICTED HIGH OF 86. SEMI-SUNNY, SUMMER IS SET TO SNEAK BACK ON US. HATE TO SEE THE NICE WEATHER GO---

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA BUT A RUN TO TAHLEQUAH FOR RYE BREAD, A NECESSITY FOR LIFE AS WE KNOW IT.

KEEP UP THE FIRE, GURUS!

SEPTEMBER IS HALF GONE :-O

ANOTHER PRETTY MORNING IN THE NATIONS, SUNNY, COOL, AND CALM. 88 TO BE THE HIGH THEY SAY. SO NICE, BUT SUMMER COMING BACK THIS WEEKEND.

GOT ALL MY ERRANDS RUN YESTERDAY EXCEPT DOG FOOD RESTOCK. THAT WILL REQUIRE A TRIP TO TAHLEQUAH. I FEED IAMS AND IT'S NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE. COULD GET IT IN MUSKOGEE IF I WANTED TO PAY 10% SALES TAX.

GOT THE NEW TOY CLEANED UP AND LUBED, LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN SHOT QUITE A BIT. IT'S TEMPTING TO GUSSIE IT UP SOME, BUT THERE'S REALLY NO POINT. NEED TO SEE HOW IT SHOOTS BEFORE I DO ANYTHING.

HAVE FUN, Y'ALL.

GOOD MORNING---

"OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING," SUNNY, CALM, AND COOL IN THE NATIONS. 66/63% AT 0854 HR GONNA BE 88 THIS AFTERNOON. THE CHEROKEES LOVE IT.

GOT ALL MY DOINGS DONE YESTERDAY, TOP DOWN WEATHER. TOOK DARLING WIFE TO SUPPER AT THE "DEAD LOBSTER" IN MUSKOGEE. GOOD SERVICE FOR A CHANGE, PRICES HYDROGEN INFLATED :-o, GOOD THO.

TIME TO RESTOCK DOG FOOD, BIRD SEED, AND REFILL HUMMING BIRD FEEDERS. ONLY FEMALES STILL HERE, THEY SHOULD FOLLOW THE MALES SOUTH SOON.

ALWAYS FORWARD, GURUS!

HI OUT THERE---

CLEAR, CALM, AND 47/95% AT 0734 HR. FEELS LIKE FALL OUT THERE, BUT SUMMER IS NOT GONE FOR GOOD YET. 83 FOR THE HIGH THIS AFTERNOON, THEY SAY.

BUSY DAY, AUTO ROTATION, TOMATO UP, NICE TOP DOWN WEATHER THIS WEEK :-) ALSO HAVE TO TOP OFF THE BUMBLEBEE, WHICH I NEGLECTED TO DO FRIDAY. I TRY TO ALWAYS PUT THEM AWAY WITH A FULL TANK.

ALSO HAVE TO BREAK DOWN THE NEW TOY, CLEAN AND LUBE. STAINLESS NATIONAL MATCH BBL, NAT MATCH TRIGGER ASSEMBLY, FIBERGLASS STOCK. SHOULD SHOOT GOOD, HOPE SO ANYHOW.

TIME TO TURN LOOSE THE WONDERDOG, HE'S MISSED HIS RUN FOR TWO DAYS NOW.

ENJOY THE DAY, Y'ALL

GOOD MORNING ALL
