Good afternoon to all...are you watching some NASCAR??

 

sigh. no. OUr boys have hijacked the tv with the wii and their new game. lol. Oh well, at least they're not arguing....for now. I've got the grill going with some yellow squash and onions steaming, chicken wings roasting away, and am about to put on some charcoal steaks. MMMmmmMMmmmm finger liicking good.

 

No, unfortunately. We are at our son's house and he's not into NASCAR. I thought I brought him up correctly by taking him to Dover multiple times. But somehow he got into F1 stuff. Those "cars" with the whiny engines. Not even V8's. Little bitty things.

By the way Tim, what's that lump in your avatar?

 

Anybody else had enough of the heat yet? I'm done with summer. Bring on the cool fall breezes. There's so much brown crispy grass all around....it's just a matter of time before we get more wildfires popping up from the dummies dropping cig butts on the ground.

 

Well, it is hot. But, today we took the boat to the lake for the first time this year and the water was great. As for the brown grass, we went to KS to see Dad on Sunday and found out we are in good shape compared to just across the line. They haven't had any rain in many weeks and all the grass is brown, the are cracks that go down 4' I'm told, and the ponds are very, very low. At least we've had some rain here in Green Country.

However, it would be nice to have a nice, slow rain with plenty of thunder and lightning. And, maybe this winter some cold weather and a bit of snow?

 

I'm sick of this heat. I got stuff to do outdoors, like get that CRX running. I've had the car here more than a week, and only spent 2-3 hrs total on it so far. I have the timing belt ready to come off, and the new belt here. Just not crazy about working in 100+ temps......

 

I think the heat is marvelous so long as one is dressed for it and in a decent environment; being on a lake or swimming pool is absolutely ideal.

Failing that, stay out of the direct sunshine.

 

Well, with the triple digit heat our pool has been like a warm bath....not very cooling. And the heat radiating from the pavement is killer while i'm riding my motorcycle. It's not too bad while i'm moving but sitting in traffic is hot. Tonights ride home was nice and cool though.

 

Whew, what a hot day to get in line, but my family and i did it at the local Owasso Chick Filet. It was an hour to get thru but worth takin the stand. Anyone else support chick filet today?

 

No, I forgot. And, I'm disappointed in me. Glad you did.

 

No, I can't remember the last time I was there anyway. I do believe the restaurant is getting a bum rap for the CEO's personal beliefs.

 

I've never ate there. I would have been willing to go, had it not been so derned hot. I knew there was going to be a line, and I will not stand out in 110+ weather for over an hour for anything.

I too think it's despicable what the media and gay supporters are doing, over a man's *personal* beliefs. Last I checked, this was America, where EVERY individual has a right to their opinion, and the freedom to express it. It matters not how right/wrong, or popular/unpopular their opinion is.

If the goober smoochers and taco lickers have PROOF of discrimination, take them to court, otherwise they can (in the words of "Walter") "Shut the hell up!"

If you can't already tell, I feel the same way about this issue as the CEO whose OPINION started the whole BS in the first place. I'm not a religion fanatic by any means. However, marriage was originally a religious ceremony, so until God and the Churches change their policy, gays should not be allowed to "marry".
Didn't we have a state question on this very subject recently? Seems to me it passed with an overwhelming majority, so I doubt I am much different than most other Oklahomans on this matter.

 

I drove past the Owasso location last night at 9:30pm. Line was wrapped around the building, out the Lowes enterance road, on to 96th street all the way to the walmart stop light.

 

Wow! And it was almost 100 degrees, still, at that time.

 

News said 105 at 9:30 Didn't start cooling down until about 4am.
