Afternoon All
Duchess and I returned to her vet today for a recheck. They gave her another RX as she was running a fever. The regular vet was not there so she saw a sub. Right now we are staying the course with the other meds and the special food for liver damage. She has another appointment next Friday. She does not seem better, but she does not seem worse either so that is good. We are still hoping and praying for a good outcome. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCE 69
Everyone Take Care
Is this heat wave because we're downwind of birthday candles in Arizona?
Best wishes, Nance69!

You part Gypsy? I was thinking the $200 range. Do they make a waterproof one?

Time for an update.
We have been sold again. In case you haven't been through this saga before, we live in a duplex - all 810 sq feet of it. Built as a side-by-side, each unit two story, two bedroom, living room, kitchen, basement and a closet that pretends to be a bathroom. Carbon copy of the one next door that is now a 3 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath also 810 sq feet. Our 2nd owner was a creative contractor that should have been in another occupation. Two of us and cat was iffy if anyone was in a hurry. Now just two of us and little better.
Anyway - young couple bought it with best intentions, but not real landlord savvy. Now it is a retired gentleman with a grown son. He seems to be a little more savvy about property (owns some other rentals) and was very nice to talk to (that means he won't raise the rent right away) Had four sitting in the living room and two people couldn't stand at the same time. Need to get up one at a time and move to the front door.
We have been there almost 9 years and 4 owners. That's one more owner than neighbors. (it is still vacant if any of you are interested in living vertically and brushing your teeth in a closet. Close to trains to watch, too.
Cold front headed this way. At 8:30 last nite (bedtime) it was about 25 miles west of us. 4 am it was 20 miles west of us. At this rate, it should be to BC in Chicago about October, Joe in November and Tree in.....well I can't predict that far in advance. So heat has gone down a bit, but the humidity is just about where the temp used to be. You get extreme heat or extreme humidity. No choice. No rain either. It's August. It's eastern Nebraska. It's normal.
Now about that new coffee cup. Mutt - maybe a bigger coffee pot?
X for Duchess....

mookie
well some people here in town are buying duplexes and making them back into houses.as far as a bigger coffee pot with the heat on like it is would the water tower make enough for you?
also saw bnsf 9495(green machine) going east on ns last night before work.had 2 ns horses helping behind him.
stay cool
Morning All,
Not too much to report here. Had some rather strong rains last night. I was kind of glad that I drive a boat. I almost wish I could have been out of my car to get some pictures of it going through some temporary flooding areas (where the storm sewers proved inadequate to handle such heavy rainfall). I think I could have got some great shots of the Cruiser looking like a Coast Guard Cutter cutting through some big sea swells!
Mook, I borrowed one of the forklifts from work this morning. Thought we could handle that coffee cup, but I'm not so sure now. I've never seen a coffee cup as big as a water tower! (Though I have seen a Ketchup Bottle in that size range). You better not let the Chicken see this. I'm sure he'd want one to replace his 55 gallon drum of gatorade! I'm not sure the DD&CS can handle two such beverage vessels!
Jim, Duchess remains in my prayers. Hopefully you, she and the vets can get things turned around soon.
Well....I suppose...Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go...
Chris:
After last night, I was going to borrow Mookie's cup (empty), put oars in it and row across the backyard! (2 inches of rain in 30 minutes! Houston Ed weather!)
...think I'll go take the pontoons off the scottie dog now.

That dumb "cold" front just doesn't have any legs. It is hanging about 50-75 miles northeast of our location and the way it is going it might get down here next month. Even though our house is reasonably good with the AC, the heat and humidity just saps what little ambition I have in the first place.
I will take a glass of ice tea and take a seat at the lurker's table in the back of the diner. A good day to all.

CW,
How about some Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwiches? Breaded Chicken topped off with ham and swiss cheese and a nice honey mustard sauce. We could have a side of fries (for Matt of course) and some delightfully cold cole slaw. For dessert, I'll bring in some orange creamsicles.
Sound OK?

I'm stayin' for supper!
Chris and Sir Chix - we didn't get any rain out of that deal. It got to Seward and vanished!
Jay - we traded heat for humidity. I can't decide which is worse. Even in air today, everything feels sticky. So now we are sorta cool and very sticky. Ack!
Joe - water tower hmmmm? Has possibilities. I could share with Houston Ed - I know he drinks waaaay more coffee than I can/could.

Afternoon everyone......
Still hot here, has been in the low to mid 90's the last few days, cold front is supposed to come through tonight and cool us off and dry us out. We've been going through Gatorade at work like it's going out of style, had two breaks last night, and knocked off early (we got our work done early, also helped that we dropped about three units due to lack of room on the shop floor).
Never saw a coffee mug THAT big before, never knew they made a 500 gallon coffee mug. Saw Chris moving it with the forklift, the back end looked a little light when he picked it up. If Mookie gets a bigger mug, we might have to get a crane in here to place it. Don't worry about buckling the floor, it's been reinforced for just such an occasion.
Chris, you might want to check all the fluids in your car, you don't want water in any of the oils, it does interesting things to bearings and other metal parts. It's kinda fun, though, splashing water on other cars. See everyone later, provided we don't get flooded out.
