Good morning Oregon truckers!

It's hot here North Central Washington also, 97° yesterday. I'm not sure what today will bring.

Good morning everyone. One side of my neck is a bit swollen. Got stung on the back of my neck by a wasp yesterday.

Evan, keep an eye on it, and go in if you have any problem swallowing.

Will do. I’ve been stung many times over the years and never had a bad reaction. No other symptoms except the sting sore being a bit swollen.

Belated good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Working on Mom and Dads headstone this afternoon. Getting ready to send the design into the funeral home. Had a talk with sister and really didn't leave the door open for arguments or inaction this time. Mother concurred so I took the reigns and it is getting done.

Elsewhere, I've decided the heat must have made some drop lines get wishy washy and sag. Was backing the pickup and camper into the front yard a bit ago and hooked the cable drop line. I've backed campers in under this line hundreds of times. The new camper has been backed in several times now. I checked after we first brought it home and we had at least 6" of clearance. Crawled up the ladder on the house side and pulled up about 2 foot of sag. I'll call the cable company in the morning and ask them what is up with that.

It would be a good thing to keep some UNseasoned meat tenderizer close by in the first aid kit. It breaks the protein down in bee stings and while it doesn't ease the sting, it does help with how big the lump gets and how long it burns. Will help with snake bites too...as long as you don't be a hero and try to suck the venom out like they do on TV....

Yep. Meat tenderizer and baking soda mixed into a paste is the best things you can use.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Down to a comfortable 58 although we do have a 10 mph sea breeze.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 55 and only supposed to get to 71 today. That's a good temp.
Get to go out to the farm today and fix the kitchen plumbing...the Warden wins the bet on this one.

Good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Home from the plumbing project at the farm.

Two of my grandkids sent me this...(I kind of think my evil daughter may have colluded in the selection!)
