Coffee anyone ?

@Jesusfreak101 there's some things that some people don't understand I am sure your mom doesn't remember having Littles and making a marriage work. I also don't know how people live with a "part time" Dad. It takes two special people to make it work out.

I hope greybeard just has Internet issues.

Yep, he's been talking about moving to west TX for awhile now.

I hope @greybeard is OK, he's not posted since early July. And I don't think he was in perfect health. Makes me a bit concerned

Me, too, Bruce. Yes, he had been talking of a move but, he generally "tells us" if he will be off the radar for a while. It is a concern, wish we had a way to just get a check-in.


AS to R A I N --- wow. Yesterday about 4:30 a quick storm blew through and it was one heck of a doosy. 3" in 1 hour!! I thought a firetruck had a hose pointed at my front door....so intense. I have an 8' covered porch entire length of house. It was blowing so hard that the rain was pounding the house under that porch. It looked like a curtain out there, so heavy you couldn't see thru it. That lasted about 20 mins and then another hr of extreme wind, heavy downpour, thunder, lightening, hail, etc. The cell hit worse than that about 4 miles away and took out 5 power poles in a row, looked like broken match sticks. They were laying there this AM...being worked on this afternoon. Several trees down all over. One guy had 3 in his back yard. Wife was on deck, coming in from outside, a tree fell and pinned her down (she wasn't badly hurt), another came into the side of his house, third onto his car. talk about scary...wow. Oh, yeah, rivers up, ditches full, fields flooded...what an event. We even made the news, our little town.

You know those yellow, red, orange blobs on the weather maps? I was in the red part. Mde my milking work a little late -- and kinda hussled to get done before the next downpour. Weird weather year, right? Everywhere.

Get a bottle of aloe vera gel with lidocaine and rub into the rash. It is found in the sunburn products. Take the bottle with you camping, it is good for insect bites and stings.

oatmeal bath always works for me along with (cant remember name) som pink lotion. i am very allergic to poison ivy it quickly sprrads on me. bay i am right there with you on fall it cant come soon enough. i imagine in other states it can as the get much colder but still relief from this heat will be nice. however we getting relief from 100+ here todays high is 95. thats about 10 degrees cooler then what its been without the heat index.

Coffee is on!
The weather is finally starting to cool down Today is 90 but the rest of the week is lower 80's and rain.
Sounds nice to me! Hope everyone stays cool today.
@promiseacres have you tried apple cider vinegar for the rash?

@Mini Horses - so glad you didn't get major damage from that storm. Sounds like it was really bad. Glad the guy's wife wasn't seriously injured!
