I agree, the food looks great and makes me hungry.

Good morning. We are looking at a couple hot days here over the weekend, with mid 90's tomorrow and muggy just to top it off. When we left the Northern border area yesterday, they had really strong storms behind us as we traveled away and even threw in a tornado warning. We stayed just out of reach for all of it. It's good to be home. Our Belgian Gypsy agrees. Bible study is in a couple hours and then maybe a run to town to look for some specialty tools to help us get the siding job done a little quicker next week. Have a great weekend.______Dave

Good Mornin', Dave and others stopping by the dinner this morning.
We're starting the day with a low of 72°, yesterday we made it to 93° with clear skies, more of the same in the forecast.
Mowed with the tractor for an hour or so yesterday down in the woods then mowed with the zeroturn until 1pm. That nap after dinner was mighty good! About 5, cranked the zeroturn and did most of the south yard, still have a couple of areas to finish this morning.
Several years ago the pharmacist tried to get my Rx's on the same schedule for refilling, somehow that has gotten out of sync and I end up having to go to the store more often. Only plus is the pharmacy is also an outdoor store, guns and fishing tackle.
Might even wash Miss Joy's car today. Living on a dirt road, it's a waste of time trying to keep vehicles clean. Joy used to say it was easier to find her car in the Walmart parking lot because it was dusty. Yesterday marked 10 months since she went to her heavenly home.
Time to wake the mini-dachshund for his morning walk, coffee was good so the day has officially started.
Enjoy your Saturday.

A Good Morning to you diners,
76 right now and we're looking at a high of 92 and a heat index of 107 here in the Missouri Ozarks. Things are gonna get downright dangerous and nasty! We're in a four day heat advisory / warning. Heat indexes climbing up to 112. Wife and I are about to make a quick errand and then hole up indoors until a small break on Wednesday.
Nothing on the agenda except maybe scattered house chores here and there as we wait out this blast furnace. Good time to peruse knives on the computer with all this time on my hands!
Y'all have a great weekend! Be safe, be careful and be alert out there. I took a peek at news and politics and I don't believe we're actually living some of this.

Morning folks, 69 the low mid 80's by afternoon a few showers around but none here as of now.71 with a nice breeze but muggy. The heat will return this coming week. My ac and I have enjoyed the last few days, oh well it is getting close to the dog days of August.
Wampus was back after a day at the spa? Sounds good anyway
Trip to the trash dump in a bit maybe stop at the flea mkt.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there.

Good morning. Church in a few hours and then the plan is to stay inside because of a heat warning in the 90's with 100% humidity. I can see the humidity hanging in the air. It looks exactly like the Canadian smoke did a few weeks ago, only it doesn't smell as bad. The rest of the coming week is supposed to be much better and I'm hoping it will also be up near the border where we will be working. Have a great Sunday.____Dave

Good Sunday Mornin', Dave and the rest of the FCD crew.
75° as it is getting light outside. 92° was the high yesterday, warm enough to make a feller stop perspiring and begin to sweat! Made the run for my Rx's, didn't even walk over to the "good" side of the store, washed the car and mowed till I got it all done. Had dinner, a nap and washed some dishes, it cooled off outside to about 85 so we went for a walk. Went out in the shop and checked the big freezer and saw the processed pumpkin under some venison. Bingo! Realized it was time to make a couple of pies. They turned out okay but the crust around the rims was browner than how Miss Joy made them. I followed her recipe, .
Got my coffee down, time to wake the mini-dachshund for his early morning walk. Bird feeder needs refilling, those Cardinals love the Black oil sunflower seeds. This should be followed by breakfast and a shower before heading out to church in a couple of hours.
Hope y'all have a great day!

Greetings FCD folks. It's currently 71 degrees here on the creek with a predicted high of 84. Right now its very overcast. Weve had a few passing showers since yesterday afternoon, but very little accumulation. The bird feeders look like the bread isle at the grocery after a snow storm warning has been announced.
We'll be heading to church in a while, but first I've got to get some of this wake-up juice into my system. I didn't sleep too well last night so I need it.
Progress on the garage project has been at a standstill since Tuesday. The builders are working elsewhere for now waiting for delivery of the roofing and siding metal. Hopefully that will be delivered tomorrow and we will start to see some progress once again. I'll post a pic below of it as it looks now.

Looking good, Philco! The only bad thing I see is your new garage is obscuring the wonderful view that was in previous pictures. I know y'all will enjoy the new building.

Morning folks, 77 the low may top out around 90 will feel like 105 sez Henry the weekend guesser. Heavy fog this morning after a nice little shower yestiddy afternoon. I won't be on hose pipe duty this morning

Philco looks like a nice building. that thing will hold a bunch of knives.
Hope yawl have a good'un and be careful out there.

Weatherman blew it last night, first storm watch, then severe storm warning with 70 mph winds. Nada, no rain no wind. Today is an Extreme Heat Warning, hopefully that is wrong too. Bird feeders are lookin mighty empty and will put out extra water for them.
Need to pick some groceries before a couple of sale items end. Probably a nap this afternoon cuz this is another full 5 day work week.
