Good evening/afternoon all.
Hope everyone is having a good Saturday
(I'm sure you'll have some good time eventually, Lena. Hope the party went well)
It really has been hot and sunny here today - over 40C/104F in my garden.
Lola has spent a lot of time outside, trying to climb out of his enclosure and push huge flowerpots around and succeeding in moving them!
He's not been basking much, but he has had a good nibble on his clover patch.
Expecting more of the same tomorrow :( It's too hot for me !

So I utubed perfect.. I had forgotten that one... it’s good too!

All animals imprint on me . It’s my weirdness I’ve had since child hood! I thought I was special but then my son came along unexpectedly and I think he has it too. :)
I have that weird blessing too. My sons too. I've had so many experiences with wild and domestic animals that it doesn't frighten me anymore.

Gone now. They have undoubtedly started partying somewhere!

We have seen this in France, Spain and Italy when the bride and groom leave the ceremony. It obviously doesn’t happen in Germany. It doesn’t happen in the UK either.
It's an old tradition in the US. The bride and groom's car would have streamers some with cans attached and clanging on the road. Plus cars following, honking their horns. It was to see them off for their honeymoon. I haven't seen one of those parades for a long time.

Gonna be triple digit heat today and for the upcoming week, so I've finished outside and now am thinking of ways to avoid house cleaning.
A girl after my own heart. Sometimes I think I must have a good angel on one shoulder and a bad one on the other. When it comes down to my animals the good angel wins. But with house work...

Good Morning All...

Really nice cool weather front moved in late Friday afternoon and pushed out all of the heat and oppressive humidity. Including Friday, we had 50 plus days above 90G. By Saturday morning, temps in our region dropped by 25 degrees into the low 70’s. Really nice.

Went out early Saturday for a paddle to a creek that joins the Chesapeake Bay. Long story short, we were practicing self rescues and my friend ended up breaking his paddle shortly into our trip, soooooooooooo, we had to cut our trip short.

Our shortened route on a gorgeos morning ended up being a tad over 7 miles.

Hmmmm.... so if that was a real rescue, your friend would have been up a creek without a paddle???

We have had a little bit of cooling here too. A few scattered sprinklings.... Mornings are really nice.

Yesterday was kayaking, but this morning we are going to tackle replacing our in-sink garbage didposal. Long story short, it stopped working. We reset the little “reset” button, no work. Used the little hex key to ensure free spinning, no luck. Removed the motor, hard wired it up, it worked... hmmm. Checked the switch and all wires going to it, fine. Reinstalled, didnt work.
Circuit breaker - all good.

So, not straight forward as to the nature of the issue.

Electric is good, disposal motor is good when hooked up separately - but when hooked up - no joy.

Wifey bought a new one yesterday, we have fingers crossed that it will work.
