Happy Sunday All...

Anytime we get The Big Show I’m happy...and The Shadow beforehand...just lovely...

How are you?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! It’s heat advisory time down here. High humidity and high temperature. How’s it going with you?

CRY ME A RIVER
112 now and maybe as low as 79 tonight....

[WXRGina]

Ummm, I’m not implying that it’s not hot somewhere else, nor am I crying about it. Just remarking to Vision, as we do every week, on what’s happening with us. No biggie.

BUT, a high temperature with very low humidity—in, say, Arizona, for instance—isn’t as bad as a high temperature with very high humidity on, say, the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

[Vision]

Hi Gina, it was a nice week, nothing dramatic. I’m off to Florida next week for vacation and am looking forward to it.

You?

[WXRGina]

Florida! Cool!
We’re fine, just busy as can be. I laid another pallet of sod in our yard this week, and it’s beautiful. Did the edge/trim/mow/blow on the yard today and yesterday. It’s been a hot, humid week. The flowers look beautiful, and we have a bumper crop of “German Lunch Box” tomatoes. The pepper plants are kicking, too.

[Vision]

Sounds beautiful. Am happy for you.

Evening, folks. Sorry to miss the party - been a little preoccupied, as you can imagine. Where you going in FL, Vision? Riding your scooter or flying down? Gina, we just had the Queen Mother of all storms come through here a couple of hours ago. The heat has been beastly, and they're calling for more of the same tomorrow. We had a big branch come down in the front yard. Connie and I wanted to spend an afternoon fishing at the lake but this heat has turned us into a couple of hermits until the heat indices come back down below triple digits. We finally found a team of pool monkeys to come service us. They did half a job and called back today to try and upsell us. Connie said no, no, and NO - get your asses back here and finish the other half of the job you started, and don't forget the algaecide this time. This pool has been neglected so long for lack of chemicals (Thanks to Covid, Gropey Joe, and supply chain issues), we might have it ready for a Labor Day cookout. (Did some Jack Daniels baby back ribs on the gas side last night - YUM)

As yu may have sussed out, Connie is still on short-term disability, and is still suffering from heart issues. She has more testing next Monday, and will consult with the cardiologist about converting to long-term, then we're going to get my disability attorney's legal eagles to determine what SSA options she has, because she'll never be back to 100% again. As much as I'm a homebody and love having her here, we're beginning to pluck each other's nerves. I hid all the gun ammo because she's getting cabin fever and has that glint in her eye...........LOL ((j/k) I'm hoping she gets approved so she can drive me to the neurologist the next day. If something isn't done, I'll be in a wheelchair a year from now, if not sooner.

[Vision]

Hey Viking, Sarasota. Flying down. Thanks for checking in. Stay strong in the midst of everything.

[WXRGina]

Bless your hearts, Viking, both of you! I’m glad you’re both doing well enough to possibly go fishing (except for the heat), so that’s decent news. I hope your pool gets cleared up. :-)
