G'day y'all. Another early morning walk for the pup and I. Got to the park just after 5:30. Nice morning. Came home showered and took myself out to breakfast. From there to Home Depot for another bunch of landscaping stones and three lirope plants. It's still a bit muggy but the forecast is for that to improve as the day goes on. I ought to do some work outside but I'm being lazy.

How is it you keep arriving late to the party and try to steal the guys others have already got dibs on. You've got Dennis and vice versa this one is Bob's.

Took it off at night huh.

Sorry no kilting today. Just minor construction/repairs and painting. So Mickey and Remy have recruited a mini nudist for the kayaking adventures.

Albert, I don't think his lifting anything, he's just sittin' there.

First round of storms arrived a little before 3pm the temp had reached 90/32°.

Shouldn't that be "GOOD FOOD"?

G'day y'all. Forecast to be hot and humid again today before a front comes through and makes things more comfortable for the next couple of days. We got our 2+ miles in early this morning to avoid the heat. Going up to the shop this morning to do a bit of light maintainance.

Because the bed was warm or 'cause you were feelin' lazy?

That's not a drone Albert. That's the automated fairy dust collector.

To quote @Drew Espinosa ... Nuh uh. I am an official Plaid Conservancy Warden-at-Large with international authority over the care and keeping of lads in plaids. And what is this limit on plaid kilts? My personal collection of kilts numbers over a dozen. I just added a new one this past weekend. Do you also subscribe to a limit on speedos?

Because you know all about caring for bull, er, uhm, beef when the air is hot.

Wow. I just read that it reached 113/45° in Paris 😕

Seems Danny is fitting in. Lovely roomate he's got. I think any dirty socks or underwear left lying about where I was living might just disappear. I was odd I listened to The Lettermen, Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass and Creedance Clearwater Revival.

Howdy Texy.

The pup and I relaxed inside for a couple hours before I unloaded the pavers and potting soil. Used one of the bags to fill an old galvanized wash tub and planted a hosta in it. It's a large variety called "Honeybell". It's a pale mintish green, if it grows to full potential it will reach 2 foot in height and 4 in width. I pulled out some old peonies and planted another hosta in their place. This one is "Atlantis" and has dark green spear shaped leaves edged in yellow. It should reach 2+ foot in height and 5 in width. It will me my largest. I have over a dozen varieties ranging in size from the 5 footer down to several miniatures that are only 2-4 inches high by 4-8 inches across. Most of the smallest are in pots but a couple are tucked into small nooks along the edges of the garden.

Hope his results are good, did he stay up all night cramming?

Greetings Albert. Well it was a busy morning, now not so certain.

G'day y'all. Very warm and humid. We left the house at 5:30 headed to the park for our morning walk. An hour and 2.5mi later we headed downtown to Central Market. Stopped at Home Depot on the way and picked up edging material and landscape cloth/weed barrier. Spent about 30 minutes shopping at market but needed to waste another 30 minutes until the County Treasurer's office opened so I could pay my real estate taxes. From there we went grocery shopping and visited the attached garden center and bought 3 bags of potting soil and 10 paving stones. We've been home about an hour relaxing but I need to unload the landscaping materials from the car. Maybe I'll even do a bit of work outside. Though I've got a bit of a headache so maybe not.

If the lad is wearin' plaid he's mine, this isn't fishing, there is no limit ...

I'm not in South Carolina. You nuked mum.

Yep! Afterall Texas leads the country in natural gas production ... pfffffft.

See someone wise and impartial agrees with me 😋

Well that's good news. Mum and I both take thyroid medication. Mum had to have hers removed over 50 years ago and I had the left half of mine removed in 2008.

Not the way I play them. And just so you know there is truly a set of them up in my son's old bedroom so this is not an idle threat unlike @Drew Espinosa nuking Michigan.
