....Another seemingly hot summer day under way. 74.8 now and rising. A bit cloudy and a chance of rain. But pretty bright so no rain yet for a while. We really can use some rain, even though I heard them say we were up by almost 12" over normal now.

Hello, it is me, your friendly Native from the deep woods in NH.
I haven't been by in a while so I thought I'd drop in to say hello and stick my gum under the table, I'm just kidding about the gum...LOL!
Have a great day my friends.
Jess Red Horse.
Good afternoon, everyone. Been kind of busy around the house today, so just now getting in here. Jess, welcome back! It has been awhile since you've been in. Glad to know you're doing all right.
People, I need your help in refreshing my memory: I know we have a fellow forum viewer with a birthday coming up Friday, August 1st, and Jess, if I remember correctly, your birthday is Saturday, August 2nd. Are there any more August birthdays we have around here? If so, let me know, so I can put them on my Birthday Calendar.
Since it's so late in the day, think I'll just post the supper menu now (just in case I get preoccupied, and forget at the regular time):
1. open-faced roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters, gravy, green beans or broccoli w/cheese sauce,
2. hamburgers and cheeseburgers w/your choice of fries or onion rings, cole slaw or garden salad
3. beef noodle casserole w/corn on the cob and fresh sliced homegrown tomatoes, and any of the above mentioned other side dishes
No storms yet, but we did get a really good shower this morning. Did hear a few thunderboomers, but never saw any lightning. And power stayed on.
The other day we had our 1st tornado in our town for as far back as the old timers can remember, it destroyed 1 home and damaged 50 more so bad that they will have to be rebuilt before the families can move back in.
I never thought I'd see the day that Ossipee NH would get struck by a tornado, it did bring down a lot of dead trees on my land but nothing like the rest of the town, what a disaster area it is here.
I'll spend a lot of my off time helping my good neighbors clear their land, patching roof shingles and what ever they need, most of my neighbors are elderly and could use the free help I'm sure.
May everyone here stay well and safe.
happy Rails, OH, and yes your correct, I'll be turning 48 this Saturday so I'll need a few good guys and gals too help me blow out all those candels....hee hee hee!!!
Good Thursday morning, everyone! I was awakened sometime during the night, by thunder & lightning. Did not look at the clock by the bed, so have no idea what time it was. I just got up, turned the window fan off, and went back to bed. Supposed to have some more rain this morning, tapering off, by sometime this afternoon. Made for good sleeping the rest of the night.
Jess, sorry to hear about the tornado. Downed trees are a lot better than lost lives. And, since you didn't mention that, I 'm assuming that no one was injured or killed from the tornado? If anyone was injured, I'm hoping it was just minor cuts.
Fresh juices, coffee, tea, lemonade, etc., are ready this morning. Cereal boxes are lined up on the counter, so select your favorite, and have a good morning.
Good morning all...I am in Cleburne, TX this morning where it is already 82F on its way to 100F. I am here for business reviews and will not get to stop by the old AT&SF shops as I am not alone, but would very much like to do so some day.
....My day is starting with thick fog....very low ceiling....Almost down to the ground. 73 and this weekend we're to get hot for our area...95, etc....It sure knows how to do that around here and with humidity too.
Still need some rain. Indiana did get some yesterday, but not this part.
Best to all for a good day.
another triple H day here in nw ohio.Matt and I will head for town after my nap to pay some bills.Cw I refilled the gatorade container.
Joe, thanks for refilling the Gatorade container!!
The rain has left our area. Tom, not sure if it was heading east towards you, or if it was heading south of us. I honestly can't remember what I read and heard on the news.
On our lunch/supper menu today: Mexican Fiesta Day
Tacos, beef burritos, beef & bean burritos, beef burritos enchilada style, enchiladas, quesadillas, Spanish rice, tamales (all of the above served mild, medium or hot), non-alcoholic margaritas (regular and strawberry), and the staple of tortilla chips w/salsa or con queso
We just heard on the news that Ken Griffey, Jr. has agreed for the Reds to trade him to the Chicago White Sox. I thought all trades had to be accomplished before the All Star game. Or, did they change the rules on that, where a player/players could be traded anytime during the season?!?!
whoa!!!! I didn't hear that this morning.He would make a good DH in the juinor league.They have 5 minutes to make the deal.(as I type).hey its friday tonight.NS had its mow stuff in our siding at work again this mornig.Maybe they will park there again tonight.Cw we are having a cookout benefit tonight at work.
Joe
//BAM! BAM!//
Nope, heater's still stuck in 'cremate' position. Nuts. According to my mirror, 95 here in the shade in Effingham, IL, started in Corinth, MS this morning with about 77 (Corinth is in the NE corner of MS), and will stay hot thru the weekend. Got washed yesterday with all that rain that went through Louisville this morning, removed all the dust on the rig, but had to slow down because it was coming down so hard.
Will take dinner, then decide if I want to get up early to try to beat Chicago traffic tomorrow (about 3-1/2 hrs away at truck speed). See everyone later......

Oops, I guess I should have clarified my tornado story, your correct no lives were lost here due to the storms, sorry about that, I'm working on my reporting skills.
have a great day and please pass the halapinos...Yummmm!!!
Good Friday morning, everyone. Not too excited yet this morning. Went to bed at 9:30 last night, because I was so tired. Couldn't hold my head up or keep my eyes open. I didn't wake up until 6 a.m. this morning.
Coffee, teas, juices, and lemonade are ready for this morning. Also, got water heating for hot tea.
On the breakfast bar, you'll find the regular assortment of doughnuts, danishes, bagels and bear claws. Wish I knew what Nance 69's and Jess's favorites were: I'd put a birthday candle (unlit, of course) in for each of them, and save them until they get in.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCE AND JESS!! Hope your birthdays are good ones, and hope your biggest birthday wishes come true for you today!!
Good morning, Jess. That's o.k. We all make mistakes, that's just a part of life, isn't it?
What are halapinos?!?!
Nature report from your Friendly Indian reporter.
yesterday was a good wild life day here in the shady woods of Ossipee NH, in the morning during my Jack Russell Terrorist play time outside we got to see about 5 hawks above, in the tree line a deer came to eat acorns off the ground and a couple chipmunks decided to play with my dog, I guess some one should tell them that my dog is from a long line of rat killers so I guess since I'm a protector of Nature I'd better make them some tiny suits of armor.
In the after noon the deer returned this time with two younger ones, must have went home and told the other two about the fine dinning experience at the Red Horse Lodge.
At just about sun down while the pup was taking a potty break we got visited by a black bear we have come to know as "Dipper" she got her name from her right shoulder dipping when she walks, I believe that she is an older warrior bear that survived a hunters bullet that gave her the dip in her walk, I can tell she is older because over the last 2.5 years she has never shown up with cubs and her muzzel is showing her age.
We had another male black bear of about 275Lbs that we call "Big shadow" due to his ability to hide real well in the shadows at dusk, he use to come around on a regular bases until after the last hunting season, I'm hoping he is still well and out there.
Now we are over due for a visit from the flock of 9 turkeys and a big Tom that come to eat the bird seed that spills over from the feeder, I was out early this morning around 6:00 AM and could hear them but not see them in the thick green forest that surrounds our home on 200 acres of undeveloped land. (we care for 10 acres of that).
Well that's your morning Nature report and as always remember, all wild life should be admired from a distance, The earth does not belong too us we belong too the earth, Aho! (It is done)
My favorite Birth day treat is a Moon Pie, also called whoopie pies in some places or black moons, ahhhh, I love any kind of sweets really the bear claws will do, you did mean the do nut kind and not the walking kind right?
Nance, I don't know you but I'm happy to be sharing a birthday with you, Happy Birth day!!!
And to Cherokee Woman Thank you for remembering us on our birth days, it is always nice to be wished well.

I'm probably not spelling the name right, they are really hot green peppers, like the kind that go on Nachos???
....Late morning now and it's really muggy and hazy looking. Still no needed rain. Today will be very warm and I suppose a chance of a rain system hitting us, but sort of doubt it. I have been mowing each 4 days for weeks, but now as it continues to become drier, it won't be necessary today....{the 4th since last mowed}. But still have 7 shrubs to trim. Right now too muggy to do that.
Sounds like some of you fellows have a nice spread of acreage to tend to....That's more than I could take care of. We set on .65 acre here. On the center of two 100' lots. Golf course back of me, so lots of space {that someone else takes care of}.
Everyone enjoy upcoming weekend.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nance and Jess!! And Many, Many More!!
Jess, don't be too "Alarmed" at seeing the Pumper outside; Tree generally shows up with one
for anybodys birthday. (50 and older especially!) Along with the Diner's Cafe's fire
suppression system we just like to be EXTRA Careful with all the open flames.
It's already about 85 degrees here now with the Dew Point and Humidiy on the rise.
Supposed to get into the mid to high 90s for this afternoon.
Mook, are you still in the Hammock next to the air conditioning vent? Time to share!
