JohnJ Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Lazy afternoon here. It's raining like from a showerhead with really good water pressure behind it. Has been nice, sunny and warm since early. So this real good Canadian Bacon that I get from the store is what I had for late lunch/early dinner. Along with the last of some experimental sour cream potato salad. So a few drops of Dijon in there along with the celery and three big stalks of chives. With dill pickles and bacon crumbled up made this the best I've made in years. Remember that canned Arizona Iced Tea from about twenty years ago? Made with my Luzianne and a little OS 100% juice cran-cherry that is really a fruit punch... it blows that AIT stuff away. That food is what made me lazy... too much in the middle of the day has always done that to a degree for me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Was a nice day here, too. Rained good. Over an inch. 75 - 80` with enough humidity to make a cold drink sweat. Haven't listened to much music. With the power going off and on....Listening to the toads is music. I still find it amazing that amphibians can make it here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Whoa! An inch of rain there sounds rare but I'd take it. Toads? Ha! Is pretty strange they exist in all that heat. The humidity would kill me! Fat people sweat a lot yanno! 😂 🤠 🌵 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Glad I mowed yesterday. They were calling for afternoon rains so I knocked it out in the morning and finally got a decent shower a few minutes ago with more cells coming thru later. Typically a day late and dollar short from the "weather" teams. lol Nice and cool now so gonna warm up the tubes and dive into this stack of unopened vinyl. Oh wait, haircut in an hour. Doesn't take long to cut a block though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The weather app on my phone Hyperlocal Weather has been telling me "Heavy Rain" from sometime when I'm asleep until lunchtime. Think apple think they will be right more often than not by doing that! It's connected with DarkSky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 our heavy weather warning is the Loss Of Satellite Signal message on dtv. Batten down the hatches. temps are nice with the rain. Close to a nice day in the midwest. 80` with 50% r/h... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Rolled out and fired up the coffee while looking around mumbling. Should be outside trimming the bushes and cleaning it up since the front seems to be through and the humidity is low. I just can't get up off my rear today. Five, yes 5 stacks of albums to put away so maybe I'll spin the one stack of new stuff while I'm putting away the other 4 stacks that have been laying here. Ugh. Could fire up the sweeper or hit the kitchen floor a lick OR hit Kroger for vittles. Can't continue to live on chips & dip, sliced turkey and whatever else I find to throw together. Decisions, decisions... Just another day in Duckburg! 😂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hey Dave, don't fret.... the chores will wait on you to get to them. I guarantee that! You take a one a day for when you don't get three square meals a day? Or hit a buffet (I miss them) for what? $20 and get all the food groups at one sitting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 3 minutes ago, JohnJ said: Hey Dave, don't fret... Me??? 😂 😂 😂 Buffets are slim and none around here. Duckburg remember? 😂 Think I'm gonna spin and sort BUT new glasses should be here next week so I can zoom in on those album jackets then. Thinking about hitting the sweeper and jammin. hahahaha Think maybe I'll spin cause sweeping sounds physical... 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Actually, I'm nommin on some bologna salad on crackers from this place. Stopped on the way home from Cbus last week and got a fried bologna sammich w/an order of hand dipped onion rings. People from all over hit this old place. Best on the planet! https://www.gandrtavern.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Sounds great! Haven't had a fried sandwich in a long time since I quit buying what they pass for bread now-a-days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Check that link out! Lil burg out in the middle of no where w/about 1k people. Prices haven't changed much in years and the food is fantastic. They have their own recipe for the bologna and most other things. It only takes ONE time there and you'll stop every time. Killer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 That bologna is as thick as a skinny burger! And they make it? Could be real good. I make mine like a grilled cheese. Fry the bologna put it in with the cheese, mustard and mayo then grill that. With sour cream and onion chips and a beer... MMM MMMM MMM! Darn got to stop, I've blown my food budget already this month. So it's chowder today, this is making me hungry! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I haven't had fried bologna since I was a kid... and it wasn't anywhere near as elaborate. I had to laugh. The weather has been damp, to say the least. We need to use coasters [or an i-phone] under cold drinks. One of my friends said it reminded her of England. I would suppose that was a nice day there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 The iphone for a coaster? Man I know that's what one of my uncles uses and always has. It does not play nicely with the Nexus/Pixels that I've had for years since my N-82 gave up the ghost. Every call is an effort for him to get where it will work right, I've been there at his place & my phones have worked well there and around his town, Columbia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 we just had an "air quake" as an uninformed local called them. The AF is playing. The sonic booms have been very crisp lately. They must have some new toys... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Killer, lived in a condo right next to the Daytona AFB and the F-15s, F18s and other fighters could rattle the place sometimes. A group stopped in once when they left they went vertical that am directly above our place. They punched it and the booms were directed straight down! Dog freaked and so did I, never heard anything like that before or since then! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 for some reason, they do air-to-air combat training over "town". All I can figure, it gives them a marker so they don't infringe on Mexican air space.... But, yeah, when they give the planes the juice, it can get very loud. I prefer the A-10s to the supersonic models. You can actually see them. I have been driving and seen an A-10's face in my rear view mirror. Yes... there is a minimum altitude.... the ground 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I hear you. Warthogs are as great as a muscle car from 1969 or `70! Also like the B-52s they're still in use because they're so darn durable. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
