Good evening Illinois, Rick, Don, John, Neil, Sean and crew. Weekend was good for the wife and I and we had a good start to the week. Monday for her and Saturday #1 for me.
Hope everyone had great weekend as well and a great start to the week.

Good Moanday evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, Rod, Sean, and Neil.

Had a hot one here today 95° hazy and humid. The smoke from the fires in Kalifornia have reached us, smells like burning wood and is hazy outside.

Kalifornia burns up every year, Its a wonder there is anything left.

Neil everyone here is staying safe. I don't go anywhere that I don't watch out for covid.

Morning gang. Had some severe t-storms roll through here in the middle of the night. Dropped about an inch of rain and knocked power out to some people. Fortunately it did not affect us and it is turning out to be a nice day.

Good Taco Tuesday evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, and Neil.

Was a Hot Damn Tuesday at 95° and still no rain. Might get rain from one of the storms that are coming ashore now, but not holding my breath. LOL

Nice crop Sean.

Patty planted 2 patio tomato plants this year, they have produced scads of tomatoes from such small plants.

Next year we'll have to replace the container since its rotting away to nothing.

We ran the irrigation system this morning while we sat on the front porch and had our coffee before it got too hot.

Listening to the sprinklers puts me to sleep. LOL
