Thanks for a walk down history. I love these types of stories. You can find a lot of the old brands we had as kids at Cracker Barrel. Especially candy, soft drinks, etc. I load up on them, especially Moon Pies and GooGoo Clusters.

Hey there! Not much went on here today besides the usual Monday clean up. Dishes are washed.

Weather has slowed the progress on my porch. I need to paint the top of the roof with reflective paint before I can put the screen on and I have to put the carpet down before the screen. Need it to not rain for a couple of days to give a chance to get things done.

Football news just keeps getting better. We took the three best players out of Louisville this year. That's what I hoped would happen after our recent explosion. The recent implosion at ul didn't hurt at all either.
 
Wife's new car got door dinged. Took it to a place called Ky dent guy, offered to repair it for 500.00 but he would do it for 400.00. Took it to a place on Newburg rd. called Acudent. They did a fantastic job ( and I am the pickiest guy you'll know ) for 150.00. Looks like the dent never was there, I couldn't believe how good it looked.

Also had my ac evaporator replaced on my SUV. Had to remove dash and upper engine plenum to get to it. Place on Taylor call automotive specialist, fantastic job as well AND 400.00 cheaper than my first estimate..

In between rains I been re-working my landscape lighting, all led low voltage power
My 46th wedding anniversary is Wednesday the 26th, told me if she had kilt me when we first married she would be outta prison by now, was she joking? yeah she was..

Bout all I got...ya'll hold em down
 
Good Tuesday Morning D League

It is 76° at my house and clear skies. The moon is beautiful and bright this morning. Waiting for day break as the sun is set to rise in about 15 minute.. Not expecting any rain and the high should be near 90 today. Summertime in the Southland.

The man on the radio said the baseball team South of us is demanding a new billion dollar stadium or they will go to Montreal and play half of their games. Well, bye. Splitting up a season with half the games in Canada and half in Florida sounds like something Bernie Sanders would come up with. Spreading it around like peanut butter.

Have a great one D League.
 
What would happen in places like Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas and Florida if the entire car was made of plastic. In the 1970's I had a dash board melt and split in two parts because of the heat.

The hottest weather that I have ever been in was in Phoenix, AZ at the airport. We flew in and landed. They cancelled our flight out because the plane we were in was restricted to 120°F and it was 122°. We did not leave until late that night. As it was 122°F I decided to walk outside to experience it. It was hot enough to hurt. I had to walk about 100 yards to get back in the terminal.

But 122°F in Phoenix is no equal to a 95° day in Florida in the afternoon when the daily thunderstorm has moved out and steam is rising from the ground and the street and the effective humidity is about 98%. Your body sweats and instead of evaporating and cooling you down it just sits on top of your skin because the air can't take anymore water into it. Then to make matters worse you go get under a tree and go past a shrub and sand flees or no-see-ums get on you and bite.

A melted Kayak has never experience that! :joy:
 
67.6°F sunny and 68% humidity.

Yesterday was a lazy day for me. Today me be a repeat.

I have my six month trip to my GP doc in mid August so I have cut back on my whiskey to get my liver report in order. I don't like missing my afternoon drink. I had a drink Saturday. One day in two weeks is simply bad.

You all have a good Tuesday.

When we took our Corvette and traveled the west, in summer of 17, it was 120 when we got into Needles, California and it was only 11:30 in the morning. I took a picture of the vehicle's thermometer reading because I didn't think anyone would believe me. I stopped at a convenience store and asked the clerk what the forecast was. She said they had predicted 125, but when it was that hot, before noon, it was probably going to hit 130. Needles is about where you enter Death Valley, from the North. And I agree with you, 95 in Kentucky seemed hotter. As hot as it was, I didn't really sweat. I guess that is what makes it so dangerous.

Happy Anniversary. Wishing you many more.
 
Make an itemized list and give it to him. If he doesn't return your dvd's then let me know. I have certain skills. I will find your picture plastic and I will return them to you.
I may take you up that buddy. The Wall-E and Up movies I don't really care about. I bought those for when we babysit. Now Iron Man and Queen at Wembley (DVD) I really want back.
