Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[CT_Shooter]

What this blue collar boy from Upstate NY was doing there, I'll never know, lol, but it was amazing.

What an experience, Dave. Extraordinary. It must have been overwhelming. Thanks for the cool story and the description of that extreme luxury.

Quite a lot of rain the last two days here in the KC Northland. The thunder and lightning were quite the sight! I've not recently seen such strong lightning; better than 4th of Julydisplays last night.. About 1-1/2 hours due west of us in KS there was the potential of tornadoes yesterday, but nothing serious developed. Still the weather reared its head. In two strong storms we gathered over 5 inches of rain water, which keeps everything green, but carries flood warnings, too.

Keep on thinking that these "April showers bring May flowers." This morning it is cooler and greener outside!

[Deadwood Dutch]

The temperature has really dropped here too, I was really surprised to feel how much cooler it was from yesterday when I went out for the paper this morning. From 83* yesterday to 64* expected today.

I'm having a morning coffee right now on topic.

[Sir Henry]

So if I drink tea is that being off topic?

[Sir Henry]

Neat story dave. In the mid 80's my wife and I were scheduled for a two week vacation when her boss came to her and asked her to cancel her vacation and work as he needed her. He said he would fly the both of us anywhere in the world if she worked that week. We choose Eygpt! We airline tickets, hotels and dinners the bill came to about $10,000 and that was in 1985 or so. Her boss didn't even blink an eye.

It was. I climbed the Great Pyramid.

[Sir Henry]

We had temps in the 80's last week but its 49 degrees out right now. I was going to work in the yard but the house also needs a good cleaning. Indoors sounds better.

[daytime dave]

That had to be a memorable event.

[JWC]

Morning all from Jonesboro, GA. A muggy 68 degrees this morning. Overnight we had some rain, not much, but at least enough to wet the ground. More rain is forecast for today, but again, not heavy rain. Everyone take care and be safe,.

[daytime dave]

Coffee in the Marylou's News mug today.

I got prescription glasses yesterday. Wow, what a difference over store bought readers. I was so thrilled I ordered a pair of Ray ban prescription sun glasses.

Both are transition bi focals. I can't wait to shoot and see what difference they make.

Off to work soon.

Enjoy your day all.

[Sir Henry]

Made the tea early this morning. Today is the first hike of the season. I hike with a group from the YMCA.

[Sir Henry]

Its in the mid 40's here and I'm going hiking.

Whenever I feel the urge to go hiking, I try and lie down until that feeling passes.

I love to hike. Last summer I was hiking two and three times a week. I hiked 54 miles in three days over a five day period with 30 pounds on my back. Not bad for a 66 year old boy. I want to hike the Pacific Crest Trail.

That is great, and I am glad for you. I guess that is what keeps hiking boots selling. However, for me and my knees, and I am only 64 soon to be 65, the thought of hiking any further than my mailbox causes my knees to ache! lol Too many years of playing basketball, referring basketball, and running, has reduced my knees to just garbage. Right now, ballroom dancing,(yeah, I know, turn in the man card) is about all I can get through without spending hours icing my knees. Glad you have the ability and the want to go hiking. Oh, did I mention my right elbow is bad, but I believe that is from lifting too many Crown and gingers, but I could be wrong! lol Keep it up and take picture WHEN you hike the Pacific Crest Trail.

[Sir Henry]

I lost 40 pounds last summer and my knees are much better. I hiked today and the weather was perfect. High overcast and in the mid 60's.

[daytime dave]

I will try to dedicate tomorrow's coffee mug to you Sir Henry. If I can remember to take a photograph.

[Sir Henry]

I took along a thermos of hot tea. It remained hot till the very end.
