Rode with my sister to take our older sister in today. It begins. 5 hrs on the drip.

Life is fine, tho sometimes rich in hardship.

Sister is a trooper. Ready for anything.




Yes, it certainly can be... but it's those hardships that make us appreciate more the good times. Hang in there MJ...

We'll be ok regardless I suppose. Been thru this particular fire before.
I learned long ago to appreciate the difficult and hard times as well as the easy and good times.
You learn what you're really made of when the going gets tough.

Whats been taking up most of my free time lately. The one I am holding is Tiny, and is one smart little pup. He already pee-pad trained himself at 6 weeks old.

I saw this beautiful '47 Poncho on yesterday's bicycle ride. That's the owner wearing the overalls. He told me that it had an LT1 and while going down the freeway, it just died. He figured it was a computer problem.

A nice shady spot to stop and take a cool drink of water. I got back home from my bike ride about an hour ago and it is now 115o outside.

The wife and I go out to a nice Polish restaurant for dinner yesterday and when we walk out this is parked next to my truck.



Lamborghini Aventador LP740-4 S Roadster.

That's approx. $310,000.00 USD of Italian magnificence.

While I was standing there gawking at it the owner of the restaurant came out and offered me a ride in it. It's his.

BBQ, take out or dine-in. It's one of the more obvious components of the CEI or "convenience eating infrastructure" in the Greater St Louis area. This is the view towards the front door of one of Sugarfire Smokehouse BBQ's locations in and around the city of St Louis. In addition to the stock and trade of Midwest BBQ--pork ribs, brisket, pulled pork and chicken--there's smoked salmon on the menu, filling out the Sugarfire portfolio in much the same way as a Knuckle Curve or Vulcan Change Up complements the Fast Ball and Slider duopoly for almost every 2019 MLB pitcher worth his rosin bag.

This is the first (and so far, the only) photograph I have taken with my new iPhone 8.

I know I am in a different situation than most folks on this board, but here's where I find myself today...

After the wettest June and July I remember, it has finally gotten hot and dry and pastures brown and crinkling underfoot. Of 254 counties in Texas, as of today, there are 172 counties under full burn bans, mine and the counties surrounding me included. Not supposed to even BBQ outside, but most still do. Absolutely NO open fires tho, even in a burn barrel for household trash.
Will probably increase next week, as some of the counties not under burn ban are in extreme South and West Texas as well as extreme East Texas counties (farther East than I am)





We've had this happen several times in the last few weeks, but nothing more than a few droplets came of them Took this picture about 2 hrs ago while I was in town..8 miles from home.....It moved on North right over me and not a drop fell...again, like I'm living under a hole in the sky.


I guess i shouldn't complain, all things considered.
Still got plenty of grass, but not much nutrients  in it for the cattle. Hopefully rain will come in Oct so I can get some winter ryegrass seed down. If it doesn't rain soon, I'll be feeding hay before Halloween... $$$$$$

A passenger jet contrail and an influx of cooler air combined to create a pastiche of variegated cloud types before sundown on Friday the Thirteenth (September 13) above the southwest quadrant of St Louis County, MO.

I only have a Single Source on this, but if that source is accurate, the incorporated area known as "Town and Country," where that iPhone photograph was snapped, is the wealthiest municipality on a per capita basis in the state of Missouri.

Town and Country, Chesterfield, Manchester, Ballwin... the area is a dyed-in-the-wool suburbanite's vision of paradise. Freeways that provide almost instant access by car to anything a suburbanite would likely want during the course of an average day. An endless panorama of newly or recently constructed roads, homes and commercial developments. "You can wander freely outside here without ever encountering actual dirt." That's how clean and spanking new it all looks. The Target store is a retailer's Taj Mahal.
