Evening fellas.
Never thought I'd be brewing another partial pot of coffee this far into the day,
but this recipe sounded pretty good for the slacking part of my evening.

And my actual beverage, you know if not shown did it really happen.

Glad I only brewed enuf coffee for 2 of these, I could easily have quite a few.
made a couple of substitutions,
Good gin for the vodka, and Kirkland's Irish cream for the Bailys.

This was parked outside the shop all afternoon. Had to pour 1 out for Jim tonight.

Ours is 1979 model, has dials.

I’m always at a loss if I have to use one with buttons like at Quick Trip.

Morning Midlanders!

Since working at the dealership I’ve discovered that my automotive knowledge doesn’t really apply anymore. I was talking with one of the service writers a while back and said to him that vehicles made the last 8 years (conservatively) are like driving a laptop. He said that’s correct.
I had been there about 2 months and a lady brought her Father’s King Ranch in to be looked at. My job that day was to keep the drive cleared of vehicles and the writers were lagging behind. I decided I’d move it out of the way so other cars could be taken out back. I got in, pushed the start button (still getting used to this feature), the seat moved forward, the dash lit up but no engine start.
Ok, try this again. Pushed the button, seat moved back and the dash shut off.
Repeated this procedure 12 times.
12 TIMES.
Same result. No engine start. The dispatcher came walking by and I hollered at him, “I can’t get the engine to start”.
He looked in, at the dash, said “see that green ready light?”
Yes.
Push down on the gas pedal he said.
So I did.
It started moving. No sound. No sound at all. Talk about creepy feeling. It was a hybrid truck.
I had no clue they made such a thing. That’s when I realized I was 40 years behind the times.

Yuck! they're saying a "feels like" 106° here.

 

[Semotony]

Yuck! they're saying a "feels like" 106° here.

They're guessing from inside the ac'd office area they project from. They probably have no idea how it feels

This was parked outside the shop all afternoon. Had to pour 1 out for Jim tonight.

Several times in my travels around town I’ve spotted what sure looks like Jim’s truck.

Specifically at Rose Tree Service on 36th street on my end of town. They used to have their shop/base in south end of town.

Morning fellas. Coffee's been poured and partly consumed. Almost ready to go back out into the sweat lodge.
73f and 90+% mugginess this morning. Another day of 90ish is in store for us.

 

[Hedgerow]

It’s that time again.

Good evening fellas. Hot and sticky till early afternoon when high winds and rain blew in. Still raining on and off dropped to 63f, with those entertaining rolling thunderboomers. Last I looked right at 0.3" of moisture with all the going's on.

 

[JimBear]

Storms just blew in here as well, real feel went from 114* this afternoon to a balmy 68* now, gauge had about .40” in it & it’s still producing some much needed rain. Hopefully we miss the hail.

 

[Hedgerow]

Just hot and dry here..

With no hope for any relief any time soon...

Welcome to jasper county MO... in August..

 

[JimBear]

The gauge is at about .90” now with another cell moving this way.
