Good evening, mountainlion...much too hot. Hope you can stay cool.

Hurrah for the sun killer rays!

[Kathy in Alaska]

ML!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pro!!

[radu]

Glad your day was good, even if it was another roaster.
I didn’t get a chance to get on the computer this afternoon so missed the storm chasers when they were out. Had errands to run, groceries to get, and took Bella in for her monthly shot for asthma. I’ll check the site to see if any of the videos are posted.

No pretty weather here and none tomorrow either. The low that gave TX and OK some nasty storms a few days ago has stalled and the center is sitting on top of us. Just spinning rain showers over and over and over. It needs to move on outta here. Our little soybeans need some sunshine and heat.

Yes, I did score some cat litter today. LOL

mountainlion!!

Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...we are close to opening the state, except flying in and out of the bush villages is still iffy.

And, for sure, the 14 day quarantine for all incoming folks is still in effect.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...how is Comcast today?

The sun played hide ‘n seek all day today.

[radu]

Wow! you weren’t kidding about the hail! That was huge!

A couple of chasers were in VA today and they’re having bad flooding issues there, though no dam problems like MI has.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

Comcast is still having issues. Sometimes it moves right along and others, it’s sluggish and intermittent. Tonight is the latter. *sigh*

Your sky right now looks like ours did an hour or so before sunset. Earlier this afternoon it was dark, ugly, and dumping rain.

Oh, it’s sprinkling at the airport. Not that it will be enough to do any good. But I see big drops on the cam as I type.
Y’all need some of what we’ve had this week to help with the wildfires.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m taking the evening off and trying to read some of the FR news.

At our afternoon meeting we were all wondering what was going to go wrong because the day went so smoothly.

[radu]

Yay! An evening off! That doesn’t happen very often on a week night. Nice to hear the day went smoothly for a change.

I’m up and down - - combing cats and catching up on news. This weather has the ol’ arthritis cranked up and sitting very long at a time isn’t comfortable. Gettin’ old stinks. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day!

Any signs of opening in your part of NY?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv....the Coast Guard: ALWAYS ESSENTIAL!!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Getting old does stink...my arthritis has been horrible all week. I’m trying to keep moving as well.

[luvie]

It was huge. Brett posted a picture of it on his Twitter page next to a rubber ducky and called it “rubber ducky sized”. LOL!

Hope you have some good weather soon. You’re long overdue. And I’m wishing for cooler. That’s long overdue here. LOL!

[luvie]

Absolutely. They really DO guard our seas. And get the bad guys. And rescue those who need help.

[radu]

Did the new platform for your recliner help with your shoulders?

[radu]

In one of the videos posted on YT, someone was sitting in the front seat of the car with a handful of hail. Some looked to be about the size of a tennis ball. OUCH!

Yep, we could both use a break from the weather patterns we’re stuck in these days.
We have a little more sunshine and warmer temps coming but rain chances are still there every day for the next week. That means sauna time. Ugh.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[luvie]

I think maybe your sauna is more uncomfortable than my heat. I hope you get some dry-ish weather soon! Thank goodness for AC...for both of us! LOL!
