Dang! Another NICE Wx Day!

Which I got out and enjoyed a bit more than yesterday. Mostly by taking more walks through our “back 40.” Really, really, nice out there! Got too many mosquito bites on my back though…

But, I did spend a couple of hours cutting up that 25 pound Chuck SWMBO bought last Saturday and grinding it into hamburger. Then I had to sucker-bag it and get it into the freezer before the heat got to it. Went pretty well though. At least I didn’t cut off my fingers or anything.

Tomorrow I get to turn the pork roll thingie into chops. Takes almost as long to trim out a good pork chop as it does to cook them!

Not much else going on around here. Just got back from my final walk for the day. Unless SWMBO wants to get out one last time…

Speaking of SWMBO; she dropped a bomb on me at dinner (spaghetti & meat sauce). She says “How about we go to the Hollie family reunion this year?” Okay? Cool! So I’m going to figure out an plan for a trip to Hollandale, Miss this late September for the reunion the first weekend of October. Let’s see: Las Vegas, Grand Canyon for a day, see Meteor Crater on the way to settle down for the night. Get up, make it to Uncle Herman’s in Texas. Rest for a night then follow him to the reunion. Spend at least 2 days there then off to Memphis to visit my Uncle Loren for a day or so. Than highway 70 back to…

We’ll see. Either way it’s going to be 2500 miles both ways!

What A Great Wx Day!

Was so nice me and the dog took off all our clothes and took a walk through the property a couple of times! We do enjoy a nice warm day! Don’t get enough of them around here.

I used to fly SAR in a helo like this.

Other than that just not much going on. Pretty normal Sunday for me: meaning I got some laundry done in addition to the dishes. I did get off my duff and grill SWMBO and our Son a steak (each). Had chicken myself. Added home-grown peas and some tater salad and dinner was excellent (if I do say so myself!). The peas were warm enough to eat but still crunchy. Yummy!

Also did the usual and watered the garden. Then picked the peas we had for dinner. We’d have to turn our whole yard into a garden to grow enough peas for us to have them all year. I don’t care though; I enjoy having our garden and the things we grow in it while they last. I’ll worry about growing enough for a year when the “End Of Society As We Know It” comes about. Next year if NObama has his say. (But don’t get me started!)

Have the HRD Satellite Tracking program running in the background. Should be able to step out on the deck about 2349 tonight and wave to the ISS.

I’m getting rather upset with our Renters. They’ve been staying up and making noise well into the AM (like 0200!) and it keeps me awake. AND, even though they have paid their rent, they’ve never paid it on time. (Meaning the 1st of each month.) Don’t get me wrong; I do like them both; I just wish they’d learn to shut the hell up after 2200 on weeknights and 2300 on weekends.

No real MCARC 2-meter Net tonight as I could only hear static. Barely heard the ARES check-in. I’ll be glad when we get our Repeater fixed! (Can’t happen soon enough for me!!)
