Storm just rolled in. Lightning, hard rain, wind. Love a good ( safe ) thunder storm.
Are you like me, in VN when the storms hit and the thunder and lightening rattled we all hunkered down and felt a little more secure.
I loved it when it rained and still do admire thunderstorms.

Yep! When it was lightening. Just rain didn't slow Charlie up much, if any. They seemed to like the cover. Sneaky little devils. We did some movement during rain too. Never was fond of that, but wasn't asked my opinion. :lol:

We sure saw our share of thunderstorms over there. Never saw it rain that hard again. But at least it usually was a warm rain. Except for when I was in the High Lands. :roll:

So far we have had a good summer, rainy start, hot and dry middle to get the hay off, and 70-80 this month. Nights are getting cooler, low 40's. Been doing some winter prep around the place. Pens all cleaned out, house and deck stained, yard cleanup. Soon be filling the woodshed.

61° on the mountain this morning. It's been rainy a bit. I got a whole bunch of yard work done yesterday, and today I'm feeling it. There will be absolutely NO WORK today. Maybe some range time hopefully😉. Cheers!

53 heading to 86 with a fire alert in place. Winds this afternoon with gusts to 35 mph. Ugh! Cooling for a couple of days then getting hot. Mrs. hatchdog and myself are heading to a lake in the NE corner of Washington State for next week. Should be cooler up there but still gonna be hot. Picked up a couple of inner-tubes for lake floating.

Enjoying my Folgers then off the the dentist for a cleaning. Fortunate timing, had a crown pop off last night.

One heck of a mess. Dont want to ever see that again.

64° on the mountain with thunderstorms as usual. 1st cup of coffee is down. No big plans for the day.
I enjoyed shooting my Colt 1911 with the Kimber .22lr conversion yesterday. Might have to do that some more today. Cheers

Sixties and clear this AM with thunderstorms on the way before noon.
Went to my hair appointment yesterday afternoon, (sounds so female like, "hair appointment"),
anyway, I had made the appointment online and when I got there found out my barber is in
South Dakota on vacation. Went to his competition and he got me right in. My new barber I think.
Gun Club meeting went OK. Progress made on saving the range.

the first time I woke up this morning it was around 5AM and I could see steady flashes of lightening in the distance to the south of us .... never did hear any thunder .... its 67 under a partly cloudy sky with very little chance of rain as the temperature rises to 84 .... bacon, eggs and Folgers kicked off the morning .... a steady flow of Folgers is keeping one of my Henry mugs busy ... :P

Hot and humid continuing from July....90 degree feel like temp is 106 right now. Heard young neighbor struggling to cut his tall wet grass with a push mower so I cranked up the Kubota and knocked it out for him. Cut last bit of my grass with my push mower...small area and done for the day!
