Yeah they keep falling out of windows for some reason...?

very pleasant out today.... I am working in the lab trying to come up with the next great thing.... I'm reminded of what Walt Disney once said... "it's fun doing the impossible."

do the impossible Guru's....

..that Arron guy is a keeper I'm thinking.....

we are back at it today..... we love the kids being here but we don't mind our alone time either....

talking about steaks got me thinking of a big Sirloin on the new grill.... corn on the cob and some baked beans.... wash that down with some High Life and we are living large...

Keep shifting Gris.... good to work those muscles....

don't be shifty Guru's

we are taking the day off.... after the gathering on the 4th and the days prior we are tired.... supposed to work out today but not feeling it.... more coffee maybe.... nice day here with sunshine and big fluffy clouds... not to hot...

lots of potato salad to eat and burgers...... take a day off Guru's

...from barely controlled chaos to silence..... it's almost to quiet now..... everyone on their way home.... kids dogs Mom's and Dad's..... It was a 4th to remember in my older age...

back to the real world ..... got the rest of the weekend to get things put away.... so much food to eat.....

so much to be thankful for..... be thankful Guru's

America..... what a country..... kids are up and doing stuff there will be burgers and corn on the cob with homemade potato salad later...... bring it Guru's..... Freedom baby...!

Kids and dogs everywhere.... they make a joyful noise though.... I just sit back and embrace the chaos ...... even the little one is walking now... she's trouble....

better get in to see what jobs Doc has for me now... enjoy Guru's..... you gotta love Freedom Guru's

Warm here but not that Humid..... sun is out.... there are a couple of 3 year old kids cavorting about wanting to do everything at once.... they make me tired but happy....

May get the Polara Bear out this evening.... go for a cruise to see all the bunting that is out and about. I like bunting.... especially on the older homes....

my name is being called I better get in there...... Freedom is the word of the day Guru's

....Chiraq..... I like that.... do a lot of them Chiraq folk have AK 47's?

beautiful morning in the neighborhood with no wind and low humidity.... I spent plenty of time on the deck drinking coffee.... kids starting to arrive..... Doc has all kinds of things for me to do..... I'm in hiding...... blaming work....

firecrackers going off like its a young war..... drink more coffee Guru's

Gris is our resident Mr. Know it all...... remember Rocky and Bullwinkle....? They would eventually have to go see Mr. Know it all...... Gris is better than A.I.

Got a 3 going on 4 year old running around the place....so many questions for grandpa..... wants to do everything all at once..... I'm tired now.... and that's just one...got more coming home soon..

live it up Guru's......

...I have a bumper sticker in the office that says... First we kill all the lawyers..... Doc would not let me put it on the car....

Kids starting to gather for the 4th as the place is all decked out in bunting and other red white and blue finery....

today I hang out and am going to cook some steaks on the new grill..... can't wait..... cook some steaks Guru's

..it was a big event when Mom pulled out the waffle iron....loved to watch them being made... and when she would flip it over and put the batter on the other side.... damn that's making me hungry..... so's the bacon talk.....

I attended a charity event of a rich man's car collection over in Lincoln today. I have always heard about it but they only open it up on rare occasions.... it was wild.... so many very cool cars of all types.....and the dioramas of old gas stations, car repair facilities, and car dealerships such as the old AOK Chevy used car lots and soda fountains were perfect reproductions.... the building it was all in was done in marble and oak wood.... NO Pictures allowed... I was impressed..... maybe 70 or 80 cars.... very cool...

Guy made his money on Cell phone batteries and antennas...just hit the wave right as cell phone use exploded.... Hit the wave right Guru's

no... that's Doc's job....

...got the front porch steps done and they look ok....they have Doc's approval that is all that matters. The place is looking very nice right now with the recent rains...the lawn is like green velvet.... the daylilies are all out as are other flowers... June is the best month here as it gets hot and dry for the rest of the summer....

got a new grill.... a Monument.... it's blue.... I know doesn't sound that good but it is kinda cool.... the burner controls all lite up blue.... I'm a sucker for LED stuff...

all the kids are coming for the 4th so it will be lively times around here.... eat beef Guru's

You have got a lot of use out of the C4 platform.... all cars as they age take patience to keep them going. The C4 maybe more than most.... they were produced early on in the government mandates to clean up emissions and other things. By the C5, Chevy had made great improvements on all of that and reliability was so much better with the LS engines.... I think the C6 was what I call the last of the analog Corvettes.... nowadays they are a big computer rolling down the road.... no shade tree mechanics going on with those.....

rained again last night... Big Ag is at a standstill but the crops are loving it. Doc made me do mulch yesterday in the heat and humidity.... took 3 yards of it and 30 bags to get it all done... I was wore out after all that....

don't be wore out Guru's

...all this bombing talk reminds me of an old classic song...

I prefer the stories about the guy who looked like chit who smoked and drank his whole life who lived to be 98.... most folks can relate to that more ya.....

Mulch day and sunshine and humids.... 1 1/2" of rain last night.... hoping to get lawn mowed before the next round...

at 1:10 Doc is going to get me to help her unload the truck.... geez..... the pressure..... must use my Jedi breathing techniques..... just breath Guru's

..the tempest has passed..... no winds and only in the 80's today...just in time to go back to work.... nice!

got a long list to do so will be checking them off as I go about my day.... go about your day Guru's

day 3 of 100 degrees and hot winds.... really can't do a lot outside like any fun stuff.... nobody wants to ride there mocycles when its like this.... had some car shows this weekend but did not attend... it does have me thinking of getting AC in the Polara...

workout day and then see what is going on...... ran out of materials for the porch... so will keep going on it Monday.

stay hydrated Guru's

Ethan Allen furniture was the hot ticket back in the 60's when we moved to Omaha in 66 my Mom and Dad went to the big Ethan Allen store and bought living room set and their bedroom set...... when my Mom passed the bedroom set when to one of the granddaughters..... it looked as good as it always did...they made real furniture back then....

...it's hotter than the hubs of hell here kids.... plus humid plus 40 mph wind out of the south.... this is when my AC shop and office really pay off..... damn the expense make it cold in here.....

Found my good set of 56 keys that have been missing for a long time.... dug some old shorts out of the bottom of the drawer and Doc said I better wash those .... then miraculously the keys appeared at the bottom of the washer.... it's like a miracle or something.....

Porch steps almost done.... one more to go... will wait until evening to work on them.... want to get the Polara Bear out to play but no AC yet so that is a no go....

stay cool Guru's

Gris... my advice is to get in those Corvette's and drive fast.... safely of course...... I think going fast makes you younger. no really I do...

38 degrees Celsius here today.... outdoor work has ceased until evening. ok that's 100 degrees F. not going to cuss it... just respect it.... oh and there is a hot wind out of the south also. so its like standing in front of a blast furnace.... what is a blast furnace anyway?

drink some cold drinks today Guru's

Quote:

.... I wish I had come up with this fertilizer idea 20 years ago and I would be retired..... I think.... all I want to do is tinker wid cars and have a few around for fun....but that turns out to be an expensive hobby....

I see the new ZR1 that was to be the ZR1 Zora is now the ZR1X... I'm like what the hell is X.... there is a bunch of millennial engineers at Corvette who grew up running around in rice burners..... no respect for the past....wtf......sonsabiches.......

I'm calling my ZR1 Zora...the hell with them..... :yesnod:

..we have a bit of rain also...cooled off but here we come with the 101 temps over the weekend.... that is not a good thing.... way to radical.... can't we all just get along with 85 degrees?

do something fun today Guru's

atta boy teebee.....

Booze or Dooze I have always spelled things like they should be spelled.... I'm very thankful for spelcheck......

Getting my tooth polished today then take stuff to the lab and then back...we did get rain last night so it cooled off nicely.... I'm outa here Guru's.....

Ya lets get fired up around here.... geez its time for lunch already.... I'm just trying to keep up right now.... but I'm having fun right? more later

ya... no work today...going to take the 56 in to see the grandkids and the granddog.... I got my flowery but manly Hawaiian shirt on with faded jeans and some comfy shoes... had coffee on the deck life is good....

Happy Fathers day Guru's

Thou shalt cometh to the Good life state.... lots of sun to go around up here.... but you need to know that we serve a lot of gravy on our foods up here....

working on the porch steps.... Doc has a watchful eye on all that I do.... she has exaction standards....

try to have some fun Guru's

Good morning all.... it is get the porch steps done day... we must endeavor.... perfect day here... cooler and no wind and a deep blue sky.... crops are looking good...it is nice to see green fields again instead of brown...

just trying to go with the flow Guru's

..also RIP Brian Wilson..... he basically wrote a good part of the soundtrack of my life.... amazing talent....

That's some amazing work there VB..... wow.....

We have Stop Industrial Solar signs all over around here... as they want to put in a huge solar field which will take hundreds of acres of prime irrigated farm land out of production. Some of the big wheels in town promoting it...like bankers and lawyers..... I heard they have it stopped for now.... a pesky fly or mosquito they will keep coming back... Has anyone seen New Mexico? Hundreds of thousands of miles of nothing and the sun shines all the time there.... go there damit....those wind monsters we have around here are bad enough...

not so hot today.... need to work on the porch steps while its nicer.... motivation where art thou...... oh no here she comes now.....

be motivational Guru's

went to the field early today to get some leaf samples... now it is hot out .... like 92 hot..... not used to that yet... I am in working in my laboratory... cooking up some new ideas... then I may work on cars.... I like old cars.....did you know that?

work on old cars Guru's.....

sunshine blue skies.... I have enough coffee in me to run the whole day.... got stuff everywhere to do.... can't wait to get started.... OMG... I think that's the coffee talking...

fire up Guru's.... time waits for no man or woman....

big day on the road doing stuff..... lots of stuff.... now I'm tired and ready to hang out a bit..... not much else to report..... all's quiet.....

it was a good and sunny.... er .... smoky day.... is the Canada getting back at us for all the tariffs..... ok... light half the country on fire...that will show dem Yankee's..EH...

enjoy your evening Guru's

we have an under the porch coon.... who lives with some under the porch cats....all big males that roam the countryside. I was just telling Doc I have seen more rabbits on the property this year than for a long time.... we have no dogs now...

got the lawn mowed and now its drizzly and rainy but hope looms as the next week is supposed to be sunny and fun...

be sunny and fun Guru's

I need some road music....

about 5 am it rained but now its sunny and nice.... need to get this jungle out here mowed.... I wouldn't have given you 2 bits for this lawn in mid May but now it's an emerald carpet..... the magic of rain.....

Agroterrorism is your word of the day Guru's..... just something more to worry about. 2 Chinese nationals caught sneaking in a new virulent strain of Fusarium a fungus that attacks wheat corn and rice.... We have it in our crops now but we can control with applications of fungicides. This one they had is bigger and meaner than what we currently have here in the US. F China.... we need to be done with them.... first Covid, then fentanyl and now trying to decimate our agriculture.... we are at war with the CCP..

wow... good rant.... I will probably have to start packing my holdout 357 boot gun to the fields in case I find them out there trying to unleash any new plant pathogens... do not mess with the special Agronomist....

We are on high alert Guru's......

...the invasion.... the mightiest armada ever assembled... Nazis never saw it coming or thought it would be elsewhere ... everyone who participated was a hero that day....

rainy drippy foggy..... no fun no sun.... the lawn loves it though.... not running out of things to do... sun sun sun sun we live for the sun..... that may remind me of a song...

live for the sun Guru's

..whenever I run out of gas I head on over and get the double burrito wid da extra beans ya.....

halfway decent here....was sunny and bright but getting some clouds drifting by now.... out trying to sell a farmer today on the wonders of Nitro Mag.... turns out he is a Firebird fanatic and has a black Ram Air 2002 with only a few miles on it and some drag race cars also..... so we talked cars and he says he would like to try some fert so there you go....

need to get back on the porch steps before the next rain... get after something Guru's

Hmmmmm it was the 3rd of June..... that may remind me of a song....

Rainy here also.....work on the front steps are at a full stop.... moving inside to catch up on some work... not much else going on today.... Doc in watching baby Mars....as the other GMa who normally does daycare was called away unexpectedly..... Always Ready is her motto ....

I am seriously thinking there is an after lunch nap in the plans....

be always ready Guru's

...lettem eat cake..... famous words from.....? a quiz for Gris and others.....

morning Gris man...... yesterday was spent cleaning out the flower beds and applying fresh mulch.... so much mulch....like 2 yards worth and we are like maybe half done.... looks good though.... we do this every 2 years..... today it is getting the front steps done.... that will be a big day..... want to get it finished before it rains again....

the good news...we own a beautiful acreage..... the bad news is we gotta take care of it....

take care of things Guru's

Went on the NRCA (Nebraska Rod and Custom Association) Tour Nebraska Run yesterday. Us and 459 other cars put on 290 miles going from small town to small town thru the eastern part of the State. It was the 31st run and there were two guys there that have been on each one of them. They got their cars on the T-Shirt this year.....

The amazing thing was that where ever we went there were folks in lawn chairs under big shade trees or sitting in pickups along a blue highway with lawn chairs in the bed and large coolers.... we must have waved at hundreds of folks who turned out to see the worlds longest car show.... small towns had their streets lined with folks on porches or along the curb in lawn chairs.... most waving American flags and Trump flags..... the variety of cars was amazing.... it was perfectly organized and executed... every turn in the 290 miles had folks there with arrows pointing the way... also they had chase trucks with car trailers to rescue the ones that did not make the trip..... we really enjoyed it.... the 56 just hummed along and we went to the AC after lunch.... may have to make that run again next year.... it will be out in the western part of the State as they move it around each year....
you got to drive them cars Guru's......
