How hot is it?
It’s so hot that I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.
The heat is getting to everybody!
I’ve got to run out into the heat, but George is ready with ice.
Everybody enjoy and I’ll be back in awhile.
I’ll take one of those ice baths, FM.
That’s a scary photo.
Just checking in before I run out the door.
SN for you….
Boran something for the heat….
SN I’m afraid it won’t be as nice as a kayak. Boran if a bad solar flare gets here, I’m afraid the ice house won’t do to much good.
Back in a little while.
Can I get that ice house with a two car garage and central vac?
Rummy is testifying before the armed services committee. Abizaid and Pace are there and they look like they would rather be anywhere else.
all that heat’ll put everyone in a black mood…
getting a bit of a respite in the foothills…76ºF now, can see and hear the boomers already starting to form west of us, so some rain and ? coming in.
Dig cam ? for JimF:
Will recharging the battery before it’s completely down cause it to develop a “memory” problem like the NiCads? Have an all day shoot on sat and would like to have a fully charged one when I start, as I don’t have a back-up.
Thanks
Got to get back to it…stay cool
Later
that there’s no memory problem and that a full charge should last more than a day. (this is for the D70)
The chg usually lasts a good while, was more worried about the memory ?
What? Is everybody to hot to type a few comments?
Come inside where the AC is and sit back and relax.
You look awfully cozy there … 🙂
Hi Olivia. I’m alway awfully cozy. Well most of the time. I thought a little Plato would be relaxing. 🙂
Don’t you mean Play Doh?
Oh yeah!
Never mind. 🙂
I am so flippin’ hungry! I promised my boss I would take her to pick up her vehicle at the mechanics during lunch but she’s in an interview that is lasting way too long. How’s the day going?
I’m eating stale coconut cookies. Does that make you more or less hungry?
coconut cookies, especially dipped in milk. Stale ones can’t resist the mushiness 🙂
Stale coconut cookies are better than cleaning cat litter. 🙂
And laundry. I’m too lazy to make an actual meal so I’ve been snagging a cookie every couple of hours instead. Bad.
Not bad at all. Look at it this way. You could be eating an entire cake, uhmmmmmm chocolate frosting, but instead you’re nibbling on a cookies every couple of hours.
You should pat yourself on the back for the restraint you’ve shown. 🙂
The wkday is almost over for me … so that’s good.
Bummer about your boss … I guess you don’t have a chocolate stash like IVG and me?
but I’ve been really good with my Eat4Today commitments so no snacks for me. It’s not the end of the world, I’m just pretending it’s Friday Jeeze and Whine.
My day you don’t want to know. I find it funny you’re taking your boss to pick up her car. I got stuck downtown with my car not starting. I finally got it home and have to replace the connector on a battery post. Argggggggggggggg.
I actually don’t find it funny you have to take her, just that there is a car theme here. 🙂
sorry to hear it, car troubles are no fun.
I remember when you were having trouble with your vehicle. I actually hate cars, because I know if it’s mechanical it going to break sooner or later.
I guess what I hate is I don’t know how to work on cars.
is a mechanic so anytime something happens with my truck, it is an exercise in personal inadequacy.
LOL I feel for ya.
It’s like I’ve said over and over before. I was born to be the heir to a great fortune. I did my job, but my parents dropped the ball somewhere. 🙂
I love that theory. (still waiting for lunch…)
I sure hope she buys you lunch. If she does, go for the most expensive. 🙂
that I work in the nonprofit world, right? 😉 Besides, I’m easily pacified by most food regardless of cost. O:)
In that case I guess a simple thank you will do.
Hope you get lunch soon.
Weather update – 99F at 4:15 pm
Cookie update – still stale
dinner update – beef stroganoff in the crockpot
Not Hamburger Helper Stroganoff?
heat update: still hot
bug update: the flies are the insect of the hour
good news: early evening and the dramatic drop in temperature are due to arrive soon…
Gratuitous beach photo:
(Not sure why the bottom of the picture is missing…)
Great picture CG. I would have never thought to take something like that.
Aw shucks. Flattery will get you everywhere. 🙂
Not flattery, just true. That’s a really good picture.
photo update: really nice picture
heat update: not as bad as yesterday but still in the yucky zone
dogs non-update: sleeping
bad news update: I can’t retire yet
Hi Andi. Eat some stale coconut cookies. Seems to work for SN. 🙂
food hate update: coconut
psychic twin update: i hate coconut too
Yet another sign of your overwhelming intelligence.
OK then, what about chocolate?
I think she’s more of a cheese person. At least she smelled like it. 😉
I’m not touching that one. 🙂
Hey, I revel in my cheesiness.
I thought you would have realized by now that I don’t have a sweet tooth — try offering up really good bread and some seasoned olive oil to dredge it through.
Well if Omir shows up he does have his bread machine in overdrive.
snob update: bread machines cannot make really good bread
As soon as I posted that, I was wondering if Andi was a bread snob. Geez we have sheet snobs and now bread snobs. 🙂
thank you
sorry
what else is new?
at least it’s almost friday (which is bad, because it means my vacation is coming to an end)
I love this for so many reasons.
Nice…and they even had an outlet for the fan?
So inquiring minds (and coonhounds) want to know if you didn’t get ‘seasick’.
I only got seasick when I attempted to read my book.
And yes, CG, we found the lone outlet.
It looks like Hopeful’s a success in his new position as the Oracle of Gnaw Bone.
That sounds like a new Harry Potter book.
no, he’ll be the star of the next one after she kills off Harry in no. 7.
If you enlarge the picture the aging hippie looks like he’s sleeping.
Give me one of those 80 foot RV’s and I’d be willing to do some travel. 🙂
I believe he’s reading in that pic, but soon after he fell asleep on the bed in the back of the van. I was very envious.
That’s the reason you and Mr. Nature need to buy a super duper way to big deluxe RV.
That sounds like hell on earth, FM.
I’ve got to go outside and try to fix the car.
Everybody stay cool and I’ll keep checking back.
Only mid to high 70s here, so we’ve actually been a bit industrious; almost got the bathroom done (spouse will vacuum floor tomorrow morning so I can mop), and stripped the bed so we can change the sheets before we go to bed. In a salad mood so we’re going to have dinner out before we grocery shop; need to rethink my menus (found some chili in the freezer that we’re going to have this weekend) but shouldn’t have to change too much.
Hope everyone else is having a relatively decent day…
Hi Cali. Sounds like you’ve been pretty industrious.
I could use some of your weather here.
Family Man, when does happy hour occur down there in ‘bama?
Once I can get over the folly of trying to be a mechanic.
I HATE MECHANIC WORK!
BTW it’s always Happy Hour in Bama. 😛
Back in a minute.
Do you want me to put one up for you?
To Late. Come on over to Happy Hour.
Froggy Bottom Happy Hour here
