    Run bear, RUN!!

    Lately its been hot and humid, Darn near melted a few times! Seems we went from winter to summer round these parts!! :jaw:

    Looks like the picnic we were supposed to go to today has been canceled due to tropical storm/hurricane(or whatever its changed to now!) Arthur. Good thing I got me some brewski's and a steak for the grille! Good thing I took Monday off, Cause today is pretty much a bust! :wacky:

    Hope ya all on the east coast don't get hit or have your 4th plans messed up by the storm!!

    Beer does enhance the flavor. Also good in a batter for fried fish.

    Yeah the 4th was a complete washout here too. but today as the best weather possible IMO.

    Also we were at an outdoor concert Thursday night when a major T-Storm blew threw just before Boston took the stage around 9PM with high winds and alot of lightning. Even though we were under the pavilion; and in the middle as well, there was so much wind and rain that we still got wet. Those on the lawn or on the edges of the pavilion got pummeled with heavy rain and extreme winds. National Weather Service is checking into a tornado touchdown about 30-40 miles west of where we were, I am sure that we got the remnants of that same system. Even after the show was done 2-3 hours later, there was water still running down the hills like a river as we went to the parking lots. Funny thing was the water pools and streams running on pavement were warm cause it was so damm hot and humid the previous 2 days.

    the day ended nice here, first we still had a lot of rain and wind from Arthur. Now is a nice 63 outside. Got out for a hour or two. Looks like better weather is ahead for us. Maybe I'll be able to climb on the tractor and get the lawn mowed. Needs trimming but I can't stand up more than about 5 min. More physical therapy Tuesday. (also know as torture) :jaw:

    Tomorrow's the last day of work. Gonna take a break to eat-sleep-fish for a whole week!!

    Well if the Mrs. lets us that is. Moneys gonna be a bit tight with her loosing her job after 34 years. Her plant just shutdown due to slow economy 2 weeks ago. Ahh well we'll get by. We have always seemed to make it some how.

    We'll tighten the belts up some and just do what we can afford to. Maybe some day trips. But just being out of work for a week to spend some time with my wife and son will be good for my soul!!

    Wil, Pass me a brew! :drunk:

    That sucks. My wife and I both went through it at the same time. Like you said, you'll find a way. Those that want to always do. Good luck. And no, you can't "borrow" any pellets.:whistle:

    Somehow, I figure if we were shivering. You'd be one of the first to toss a few in my stash!

    Thanks to all for the words of encouragement. We aren't gonna dwell on it, We'll take it one day at a time and try to enjoy the summer as best we can.

    Hope every one is havin a hoot of a summer so far.
