Summer 2018 General BS Thread

So, with yesterday being the longest day of the year. Figured I should probably admit that it is summer. Particularly with the week of 90 degree plus weather we have been having. So here it is. Hopefully Summer lasts a while.

Yes it really does get hot and muggy in Missouri.
Hope y'all are staying cool as you can.
I'm about to take off and grab a few things for a small BBQ here tomorrow.

Well it seems like July has been a quiet month all around. I've been busy running non-stop as well. I've got the island trip coming up soon, and I spent a week at the beginning of the month in Dublin, Ireland for work. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Though still mainly spending the majority of my time in an office.

Hope all are doing well.

We took the little one to her first mud race last weekend. Truck ran pretty decent, but I'm just a little out gunned now a days.








And this coming up weekend I've got a "grudge race" with a buddy of mine. So I guess I'm gonna toss 35s on it so its "fair".
