Howdy, LUV.

Have a good day? Did the cooler air stick around?

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

“Meany-girl could’ve at least let him have the ball”

I agree! She is a meany-girl!

[radu]

Maybe she had some doggie treats in that bag on the ground.

Speaking of treats, how’s your garden doing these days?

[luvie]

Wow! That is some jump! Maybe it would have hurt them both if he had grabbed the ball.

[luvie]

Howdy, radu!

It’s warming back up, but I think that it only reached about 95. That sounds hot, but in comparison to what we’ve had, it’s comfy.

How was your day? Did you finally get a decent rain from all the clouds over your general area? Sure hope so! How are all the kittehs? Are they over the full-moon madness yet?

[radu]

Whew! Just thinking about 95 degrees almost makes me break out in a sweat. LOL! But after all the 100-plus days y’all have had, it’s an improvement.

It was cloudy and soupy here today but we didn’t get any rain. It was all just to the east of us and it would have been nice to gave gotten it here. Good, soaking rain. *sigh*

It’ll probably rain tomorrow when I’ll be parked at a polling station - without a tent - all day. LOL

The kittehs have been pretty laid back the past couple of days. We’re always grateful for that! I do get them stirred up once or twice a day with the laser dot, though, so they’ll run off a few calories. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion….it does say Stihl on the orange cover. LOL!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Just spent 45 minutes on the phone with my computer guy trying to make ADP work on my desktop...I need it for work. But it won’t. At least it is the system being replaced in the fall. I will be glad to see it go.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Retirement is never far from my mind, but I’m still planning on 17 more months unless it gets really bad. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And a quick welcome, albeit a bit late.

[luvie]

You are an instigator! LOL! But that’s a good idea to give those lazy bums some exercise!

Yikes...out in the heat without a tent! I don’t envy you your tomorrow. I don’t do well in full sun.

We’re enjoying the break from the 100+ days. I can’t TELL you how that kind of heat saps my energy and fouls up my mood. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...getting closer.

Will your brother help you get it set up, or do you handle that yourself?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, ML...((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! That is some jumping dog. Wonder what they are training for...

[radu]

Sounds like a wunnerful way to spend an evening. sheesh!
I hope the new system will behave better when they make the replacement so you can get your work done.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...I love a parade.

[radu]

Hmmmmmm, maybe we should set up a pool on how much longer you hold out. LOL!

[radu]

Not so much an instigator. If I get them to burn off some steam, that’s less energy they have for uncontrolled rambunctiousness. I control it with that little red dot. LOL

It isn’t supposed to be sunny tomorrow but I’m taking a large umbrella just in case. Also, there are trees where we’ll be set up for shade.
I’d planned to help out at the tent where I was last week and go around noon. But one of the gals called today asking me to help her at a different polling station so she wouldn’t be alone all day. I told her I wouldn’t be there at 8:00 but will get there as soon as I can get up, go vote, and head her way. I guess I need to scoot to get ready for bed. *sigh*

Easy to understand how that heat saps your energy and makes you cranky. It gets over 90 here and it does the same to me. Thankfully it isn’t supposed to be that hot tomorrow.

Hope it’s another bearable day there tomorrow. Catch ya tomorrow evening.

[luvie]

Enjoy your day and may the very best men/women win! Nite!

[luvie]

Howdy, Kathy! ((((hugs)))) Me, too....especially a beefed up one like THAT! 💙🇺🇸
