Waiting on Spectrum or someone like them. ::)   Said they'd be here between 10 and 11, still time.  Said they'd text me a tracker to track the tech, Lie.   Sent me a message last night it was fixed and to text 3 to cancel, another lie, still keeps going out.  Both the wifi and cable, desk top is hard wired, when wifi goes out it will sometimes work on some of the devices.  Don't stay out long, just a pain in the arse.   ::)   Probally going to hange soon but figure they might as well fix it.

Forecasters estimates Fred will strengthen by Friday night and a expected landfall in the Florida Keys as Tropical Storm.
Guessers think it will skirt our Gulf coast off Tampa and make a 2nd landfall in the panhandle...
We'll get rain and some gusts  :-\ Saturday & Sunday.

What had been 3-4 weeks of quiet tropic weather, now has produced two Storms.
Fred will wash the Keys and then slip on by well west of Central Florida it seems now.
We may get some showers associated with it, but unlikely to be an event beyond normal Thunder storms we are accustom to.

Grace, however is likely to track closely , though somewhat differently to the path Fred is taking through the Gulf .
It may even hit South Florida before it scrapes the west coast,  may only be a wet Thursday or Friday...
Still I take notice and monitor both, as sure as Sh*t can happen  :o

Plans today are habitual LGS visit ( I was there yesterday to identify & appraise a Arisaka  Type 38 )
Prolly have lunch at the favorited Catfish Place...

Beyond that nothing is set in concrete  :)  I'm the breeze   ;D as it were

The beasts are doing OK.   Most of the time.  A little hissing and growling once in a while. ::)

All the above, transpired.... NADA at the Toy store ( least in my sphere of influence )
Lots of new AR uppers . and display case of Tupperware and the like...

The guy is selling the Arisaka , but has not decided on a price

Had the Shrimp & Oysters plate , a tad costly , but a treat , I'm good for rest of the day.
Raining now , not assonated with Fred  I don't believe  :-\

A nap seems apropos

Afternoon all.

75 as of noon, expecting 95 before the day ends.

We went to a horse jumping show this morning. Watched the 9-13yo riders class. Amusing to watch, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Got home and did the monthly dust removal and lubrication of the carry gun, now just waiting on the coffee pot to finish.

Next week, Uncle Sam is sending me to Helena for the week to do some training for our upcoming firefighting stint. It's a pay cut from my civilian job, but at least I get some per diem out of it.

2 days of blue sky and white stars, breathing much better.   Lazy worthless step daughter used our car today, was supposed to bring 20 pounds of ice back.  Said it would melt by the time she ran to Omaha and back. ::)  Didn't mean to buy it when she gassed it up with my card, meant to stop on the way back.  Just ran and got 20 pounds again for Rita's ice thing.   Took cardboard to recycle stop, things are full, next nearest one is 4 miles away and may be full, said fornicate it and put it with the rest piled up.  Glad to do my part but damn make it easy for me. ::)

Told Rita my priorities on doing anything to help her daughter has changed. ::)

Had some brutal hot weather the last couple of days,Heat index around 106. Today was better, 88 degrees, felt like 92. Going shooting tomorrow, heat is supposed to break overnight and tomorrow will be a high of 78 with much lower humidity and dew point.
Oh, and our miserable excuse of a governor resigned.

Perhaps the expedient way out on advice of his political party.

Awake, need to get a video, I drain the ice box thing, Little Kitty comes running and wants to touch the cold running water, Little Brown dog wants a cold drink and Big Kitty watches and tells them they are crazy. ::)
