Good morning everyone. 70 here right now and sunny, we are heading to Iowa in a bit to see the newest g'niece and spoil the other two. Uncle Kebbin will enjoy lots of hugs and feeding the ducks with the girls. Del, thanks for the Bingo card, that is great!

I'm not in the habit of recommending products but here goes......

For many years I've resisted joining COSTCO for personal reasons. Last month we were in Minnesota visiting my daughter. One day she grilled some Ribeye steaks from COSTCO for us. They were great. When we got back to Florida, I relented and joined COSTCO. Yesterday I grilled a Ribeye steak from COSCO. I can't eat a big steak anymore, so my wife and I split it. It was seasoned with just Salt & Pepper. It was excellent. Probably one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. We also now have enough Toothpaste and Mouthwash to last us for the next few years?

On another note, I've always had trouble cleaning the inside of my car's windshield. I bought a gadget for Amazon for around fifteen bucks. It works like a charm and my windshield has never been cleaner.

Where is everyone? awful quiet in here.

Run out to the fair before I could fix the coffee this morning. 

The horses are home.

Day 4 is done, but have to clean out the trailer to take back to the fair tomorrow so the owners can bring their chickens home.

Del, I see bib shorts today.

Also, saw someone vomit but it was from a carnival ride not beer.

Good evening folks, been traveling the last few days, so been scarce around here. Back in Illinois [yuck], going to see two of my Aunts, one of whom is on Hospice. Our junket to Iowa was great, saw the newest g'niece [11 weeks old] and lots of love and hugs from the 2 older girls, 3 and 5 years old. Y'all have a good one.

I found out one of my long time FB friends was murdered Saturday, beat brutally to death by his tweaker son.  Dean was one of the originals in our coffee chat groups kinda modeled after us.  Besides being a very nice person his home was in Kotzebue, Alaska although he did a lot of traveling as a representative of his tribe.  Inuit or as we often call them have different tribes.  He posted pictures of life up there both from his picture and friends.  Northern lights, Polar bears and big grizzlies, one lay dead across a 4 wheeler that it was trying to tear apart interrupting the friends breakfast, figuring the bear was hungry the owner of the 4 wheeler fed in a 220 grain Remington core lock.  We saw pictures of villagers from several villages with their curved ulu knives cutting up a legal bow fin whale havested by men in an open boat covered with walrus skin and using a hand thrown harpoon. 

Dean always told us we could share his pictures so I'm going to down load the ones I like from a friend I never met in person.

I offer my condolences for your friend.

Our trusty TrailBlazer was looking kind of like your "before" pic- Wife hit a deer earlier this summer, but ours was still somewhat drivable. Still had full coverage, ins co called it totaled, gave us about 1900 and we kept the car. I got all the parts from Ebay, got the headlights and bug deflector on, still haven't had time to paint the fender and bumper cover. Small dent in the front edge of the hood, but the new bug deflector hides it nicely.

Morning y'all.

I'll be praying for the family, Del.
