Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
52 with a beautiful sunrise. High in the mid 80’s later. Hot again tomorrow then a cool down leading to highs in the mid 70’s by the weekend. That will feel nice after these hot temps.
My son had his surgery yesterday. He was in pretty bad shape and I was told that getting himself to the hospital a week ago was critical. He had quite a bit of work done on his digestive region and is now on a Ileostomy bag. The surgeon told me this is better than a colectomy bag and should be a shorter time in place and a simpler surgery to reverse. The timing of this couldn’t be worse as he is in the process of a divorce and just sold and closed on his home. His plan was to live in the travel trailer he just purchased and set up on a friend’s property. Living up here in the summer and traveling south in the winter. He’s not going to be able to return the the RV life for a while so he plans to stay with us for now.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Prayers for your son. I can only imagine how difficult this is for him and for both of you to see him go through this.
Best wishes to all.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Glad to read he came through surgery successfully. Good of you to host him for his recovery.
54' and sunny this morning. Heat Advisory in effect for the next two days, mid to upper 90's. Sunny expected through the rest of the week with temps tapering off through Friday with a predicted high of 69' by then.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Pretty warm and dry for your area Mags….
55 here this morning and we are expecting the hottest day of the year. 90’s for sure today and tomorrow then a cool down begins thankfully. Back to more seasonal temps in the upper 70’s for the highs.
I heading out here in a few minutes to do some mowing in a treed area that doesn’t get watered. I’m hoping this time of the morning there might be just a little bit of moisture in the ground to keep the dust down. Yea right

Took a long time to cool off last night. Was still 80' at 10:30.
This morning 65' and sunny. Humidity 49% much higher than yesterday. Maybe 95' or higher later. Spring burn season ended a week early. I was 99% done.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
It was 59* at 5am this morning with lower humidity. Nice to set on the deck and have my coffee with the Pug. Washed the wife's car then washed mine and detailed the interior. Decided to mow about 3pm this afternoon. That's pretty much going to be it for today.

Mostly cloudy through mid morning, then becoming sunny, with a high near 82.

Vets coffee and doughnuts this morning.
Carol's sister and her husband are camping by our pole barn and we had a family get together last evening
for them, and my bother in law got hammered. We knew he had a drinking problem but it's a lot worse
than we thought. However he's a friendly drunk and just keeps talking and slurring his words. Pity.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
73 at 8AM under a high cloud cover .... the prediction is for it to reach 80 later today before dropping back to 68 overnight .... "Times of clouds and sun with a couple of showers and a heavy thunderstorm; humid; thunderstorms can bring localized damaging wind gusts" .... yesterday our local mobile RV Tech came to our site and fixed our camper's water heater .... as is common with campers, our water heater can heat water with an electric element or from a propane flame .... ours stopped working on electricity a while back and we've been heating water with propane .... yes, that has worked just fine .... the biggest thing is I hate about burning propane is the cost of electricity is covered by our site charge .... given our camper was built in October of 2005, it came as no surprise that an OEM electrical relay had to be replaced .... not much in the way of off site activity today .... I'm sure the pools will be busy
Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Warming trend here, yesterday it was a lot cooler, went to another town to watch granddaughter play softball. They won both games of a doubleheader.
Everyone have a great day!
