What are halapinos?!?!  

I'm probably not spelling the name right, they are really hot green peppers, like the kind that go on Nachos???

Jalapenos...

If you're serving them, you may need the fire truck, although habaneros are worse...

Favorite Pizza would be racoon or was it pine apple, oh yes, now I remember it is Indian taco,

The crust is made from Indian fry bread rolled out like a pizza crust, deep dried and then the toppings are added topped with 3 cheeses, sweet pizza sauce, spiced taco hamburg toppings with shaved hot peppers, green peppers, red onions and light white corn nacho chips crumbled on top , oh yes!!!!!!!, some like Hawiian, I like Native Pizza.

For breakfast 3 Eggs over hard, grits & cinimmon, Turkey bacon, home fries, Wheat toast w blue berry jam, Pine Apple juice, coffee and a black berry strudle....ohhh yaaa!!!

Now when I'm running too an EMS call I'll have enough time for the juice or the coffee but not both...LOL!

But as I go through my day I'll dream about such a feast and then when the pop tarts jump up my breakfast will be served, living the life of an Emt can wreck havok on the system.

Be well and as I tell my friends here, " I hope never to see you while In on duty", this means your in a bad way and we don't want that now do we.

...Everyone sleeping in.....Guess that's part of Saturday.

73 degrees this morning when I first checked.  But believe they were saying it would get to the mid 80's today with lower humidity.  Now that sounds good to me.  And, we did get our rain.  Finally.  Late last night one of those "red spots" did manage to pass over us and rather slow.  Haven't checked the rain gauge but expect roughly, 1/2".  Certainly needed.  Now, maybe mowing today after it dries.

Happy weekend to visitors.

Edit:  The check of the rain gauge showed....1.3"

I'm finally up.  Gotta get dressed and go check the mail.

Headed for the antique boat show today with Mom.  I would have worked it on bike patrol, but it's pretty boring for that.  Besides that would have left Mom sitting home or at the show all day.

Maybe we can score a ride in one of the old boats...

Yes, we're finally able to log in here:  I've been trying since about 6:30 this morning. 

Guess we'll have an actual brunch this morning:  Coffee is ready, along with the juices, lemonade and ice cold Gatorade and teas. 

On the brunch menu:  turkey bacon, home fries, eggs (any way you want them), grits, sausage, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.  Jess, would you like the cinnamon in your grits or on cinnamon toast?  Also on the menu:  whole wheat toast, blueberry jam, blackberry streudle. 

Jess, I don't have a recipe for Indian fry bread; if you have the recipe, could you email it to me?  

Well, we had another accident up on the corner, from our house this morning.  Driver ran the red light, hit another car and spun it around.  Fire department had to come, to do an extrication.  I hope that's the ONLY accident around here, for a good long while!!  There were too many people up at the corner, so Mutt and I didn't go investigate too closely.

Going to be another hot, hot day here in the Louisville Metro area.

Mutt - they do?  Where is that written?  Had an ice cream cone once - the dog ate it.  Had a yogurt once - the cat ate it.  Learned not to share so readily!  Approve [^]  Actually had a dog named Budz - ugliest dog - best temperment.  We used to share fried eggs - I got the white and she got the yolk I hate yolks) and bananas - we would split those in half. 

Just came in from our Sat outing.  I am glistening.  So much in fact, I need a towel!  Unlike Houston Ed, our temps will hit 99 and the humidity did go down.  Still mighty hot out there.  91 and 61% humidity. 

Willy - if it does reach 99, will the humidity keep dropping as I suspect?

.....Well, since we've received our rain over night....I decided to get my truck washed, and now that's finished except put some "cleaner" on the tires to do the complete job.  Looks like no more rain possibilities unti mid next week.

Temps. have moderated a bit today...84 right now and yes, our humidity has lowered some too.

But beginning next week it is to shoot pretty high...90's stuff.....

Tom, never thought about you doing anything like that. it's those other "sneaky people."

And you are correct, when we get to those very cold Feb. days, we'll wish it

were July or August just to be warmer. You're right, we'll all never be satisfied!

Hey there, everyone!  Looks like it's time to let you know that the pizzas are now on the warmer bar for our SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST.  Tonight's menu consists of:

1.  Cheese w/extra cheese

2.  Anchovie

3.  Goetta

4.  Hawaiian

5.  Mexican pizza (Jess, that's about as close as I can get to the pizza you requested, until I can find  a recipe for your deep fried dough.)

6.  Pepperoni/mushroom

7.  Supreme

8.  Calzones 

And for dessert tonight, in honor of Jess's birthday, whatever flavor Moon Pie you want.  There's vanilla, chocolate, banana Moon Pies, so help yourselves.

Just heard on the local news that our high today was 92.  So at least today was a tad cooler, and we've had a pretty decent breeeze most of the day.  Supposedly, our high tomorrow will be in the mid 80s.

Willy, what is the temp an egg will fry on a sidewalk? I know we're very close now;

 Currently here; temp. 92, dew point 68 and humidity 47 percent. 

Mutt - Several sources in a Google search said that the temperature of the sidewalk needs to reach 158 degrees to fry an egg on it. I suppose that if the sidewalk was in the sun all day, it could come close to becoming that hot, although I don't know for sure. We were also 92, but the dewpoint was 77. This resulted in a heat index of 106 degrees. Falls City, Nebraska (just to our south) was 96 degrees with a dewpoint of 82. They had a heat index of 120 degrees.

Mookie - tomorrow and Monday will be near 100, but dewpoints will still be in the 70s. Since the dewpoint and temperature will be farther apart, the humidity will be a bit lower. However, 99 degrees with a dewpoint of 75 results in a heat index of 112 degrees. Thus, it won't feel any better outside.

I had to work the fryer at Arby's today. Standing over boiling hot grease on a day like today was not pleasant.

School starts on August 20th. I can't really complain. Summer is always fun through about the middle of July, but it starts to get boring near the end.

Jess - Happy Birthday! Happy B-Day [bday]

Any Pizza left?

FYI The Germans in North Africa during WWII used to do eggs on their tanks all the time from what I read. Really all you need is something black to absorb the heat.

Well, I know for a fact that American troops in North Africa cooked eggs (When they could get one) on their Sherman tanks, I saw it on a Lowell Thomas newsreel. Now, that was an original character, to say the least!

....And I believe Lowell Thomas would say:  "Good evening everybody"......Just was thinking as I wrote that....wonder if Cal Thomas is Lowell's son....I believe he even looks a bit like he did....??

{I'm referring to the current Conservative Journalist seen on "Fox"....}.

We have 65 degrees and high thin clouds as I write, with the sun about to come  around the neighbor's trees.  To have lower humidity too.  Don't know whether to open windows yet or not....Will decide that later.

Hear my first train of the morning passing thru on the NS {about a mile north of us}, coming in on the Frankfort line.....Seems there are quite a few trains on that line, except when I'm over at McD's at their parking lot {right next to it}, watching for one.....Do catch one most of the time though....as we're having a coffee, et...

Good Sunday morning, everyone!  Our temp this morning, is around 70 degrees, but the humidity is low.  Going for a high of 95 today. 

Coffee, juices, teas and lemonade are freshly made, and ready for you all. 

On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning:  turkey bacon, pork sausage links & patties, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, grits, pancakes and blueberry, strawberry and peach muffins.  (And there's still some pizza left from last night, also.)

Anything special any of you want for our Sunday Dinner today?  If so, please let me know.  If not, I'll probably manage to come up with something. 

Willy and Tom, I'm going to check out those sites.

I thinks mookie kicked the thermometer and it got stuck even higher. 104 Friday and 103 here yesterday/ 108 in La Junta (The folks back east still win because of the wet blanket humidity there). 22 days in a row over 90 here now. The rain evaporates here before it hits the ground (virga) and there are heat warnings and red flag warnings from the front range east.

...Will reclaim my spot in the refrigerator this afternoon after another 4 gallons of gatorade.

Quentin, according to the Internet Movie Data Base, the two are not related. Did you know that Cal stands 6'7"?

Lowell was one of a kind. Once, on THIS IS YOUR LIFE: LOWELL THOMAS, they brought an old time employee/colleague on the live show. We will call him Carson. When Lowell saw him, he said "Carson, you're drunk". Carson replied "Not drunk enough", and walked off the show. Such was live TV.

85 degrees and clear at present in Carolina, with more thunder expected later. We had another whizzbanger come through last night with a good heavy rain. We got over an inch, that I know of, and the lightning was on both sides of us, but went around.

Everybody stay cool and safe

Our Sunday Dinner Menu:

Mesquite-grilled steak, chicken and talapia, w/the following side dishes:  baked beans, cole slaw, corn on the cob, three-bean salad, fresh garden salad.

Desserts:  

apple, blueberry, cherry, peach and strawberry cobblers  w/ice cream.  (ice cream choices:  vanilla, black walnut, peach, neopolitan, chocolate, and cookies-n-cream)

Mudchicken:  take all the Gatorade you want:  we should have enough, until the Gatorade truck comes in tomorrow afternoon. And, if you'd like it, I also have a two gallon container of lemonade for you.  

Have a correction to make:  after I posted this morning, that our projected high for today was 95 degrees, they updated the high for today to only 90 degrees.  And it doesn't feel too bad outside, but is still plenty warm enough out there.

.....Tom:

Thanks for the info on Cal Thomas.....I just happened to think about that question this morning as I was keying out a few lines re: Lowell Thomas.  I began to wonder as thinking about it, he even resembled Lowell of many years ago.  Now we know. 

And as for Cal's height....No, I did not know he was that tall....I could tell he is tall as anyone who sits beside him on that News/ talk show program Saturday evening on Fox appears small by comparison.

Thanks for the comments.

Willy - that is laugh out loud funny! 

While you are around the diner - what's with the hurricane I hear may hit Texas?  Didn't get many details except EDUARDO - wonder if it is heading for Houston?  Where from? 

AND - is it too early to get a winter forecast for our neck of the woods?  Not that it will matter, since I will just reach out and get the paper and wave to the driver as he has to go to work in 30 inches of snow and 40 mph wind.....Cool [8D]
