CLOSE, BUT NO BAD---

SUPER STICKY MORNING, HAD A BRIEF THUNDERSHOWER ABOUT 0400, LITTLE OVER A QUARTER INCH OF RAIN. IT WAS SO HUMID WHEN I GOT UP THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGED OVER, 81/83% NOW. 96 IS THE PREDICTED HIGH.

TOO WET TO BLOW OFF THE PATIOS NOW, SO THAT WONT HAPPEN. I'LL MAKE A RUN TO MUSKOGEE FOR BIRD SEED AND DW GOING TO ANOTHER FUNERAL OVER THERE.

THE WEST YARD WAS FULL OF DEER THIS MORNING, BIG BROWN DOE, TWIN FAWNS, SMALL DOE, AND A LITTLE FORKHORN BUCK. THE LATTER MAY BE LAST YEAR'S TWINS STILL HANGING AROUND WITH MOMMA. THEY ARE DELIGHTFUL TO SEE, BUT THEIR TICKS ARE NOT WELCOME.

EVERYBODY MUST HAVE BEEN BUSY YESTERDAY, HOPE YOU GET SOME SLACK TODAY :-)

Hey guys, up and around early and off to the golf course. Leo and I are trying to go now once a week. Got a small job to go look at here pretty quick...might be something we can actually get done today.

Tomorrow we are headed to Nebraska to visit #2 GS as it is his birthday and he is doing an internship at a golf course up there...about 6 hours drive from here. We'll come home Sunday.

Gadaftahnoon.

Got chased in by rain, thunder and lightning. Heavy rain with close lightning strikes. Well, if nothing else, the plants are happy. However the dogs are not.

had some rain here also....working away... Teeb is that out in western Nebraska? I'm trying to remember where he lives...

wish you could stop by.....

gotta go work to make the living...hard to do when so many want to take it from us..... raise up Guru's.... we don't have to take dis chit any more....

Good afternoon, rain here this morning, boomers woke me up too early, been pretty busy at work. Doc office didn't go like I wanted yeserday but hopefully he will get me to a solution. he is at least trying which is more than all the rest. Seems my previous hip surgeon wants to be stingy with MY records. I have zero issue taking a day off and just camping out till I get them. They're mine. I have to go back in a couple weeks for a head to toe bone scan. At this point I'd just soon them cut it off at the waist and eliminate the hurting parts. Not really but you get desperate after 5 years.
Planned to work in the yard some when I got home but there's heat warnings out. That crap has GOT to get done though at some point. I did trim back all 11 of the dwarf english laruel luyken things. makes me sick to do it, the winter ruined them I think. They all got leaves coming back then out of nowhere, they all died off again except a couple. I just got sick of looking at sticks and cut them about a foot off the ground. I don't know what to replace them with. I considered azaleas, but there's 3 sections and 1 gets all day sun, one gets mixed sun/shade and one gets mostly shade. I need something that will look uniform in all of those types of light. Replacing the laurels is a no, as the tiny ones are $100 each and I'd need 11 so nope. These are supposed to be all light/shade plus low maintenance and they've been anything but.

Marc, Mullen is due north of Garden City on Hwy 83, in the sandhills. We are staying in Thedford. He's only there for another month or so. This is his second internship this summer. Yea, I wish we could get back up there to see you and Lynn.
