Good Morning All!

It's a beautiful wet day up here in the Boston Area.

@schumigirl I tried archery.. I am not good with that at all.. although it was years ago, I may be better now...

@Lynne G I really enjoyed the Minions.

I will probably go see Spidey, I've read pretty decent reviews on it. I still have to see Cars 3, although it's probably going to be a cable movie for me.

1 month and 30 days! YAY!!!

Morning Mac, Tink, Lynne, Chuckers and Schumi and all other Sans family .

Starting to feel human again slowly....after a 1150 mile drive home Saturday. We got in about 1:30 am Sunday morning.

Hubby and grandson had a great time hunting. I did a little shooting too. My grandfather, dad and brother are all marksmen with shooting so I guess it's in the blood.....LOL....

South Dakota is beautiful country. We stayed on a ranch in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Beautiful welcoming folks.



On last day of hunting grandson had to dispatch a large rattlesnake that got a tad to close. He kept its tail.


I won't post a pic of the snake....LOL....I was not with them that day....my husband told grandson to not offer up much information to me on the snake incident as I would probably not want to go out hunting again.....I saw the picture of the snake. It was big...hubby said it was over 5 feet long.

I shudder at the thought of that snake. Those snakes are very venomous

Beautiful pics Robo

Love the horses.

 

[Robo56]

Tink, grandson took the pics. He has a good eye for photos.

Hope you are feeling better?

 

[Chuckers]

@Robo56 Awesome pictures! Love the horses, they're so beautiful.

Hello-usual check in from work/lunch.
Roo decided this am was time to get day started-7:30 am and he is crowing his lil heart out-AND he climbed to top step of deck to be sure his "voice" was broadcasted as loudly as possible. *sigh. Now I do have to rehome him. He is so funny-stamps his feet, builds himself up then lets his voice fly. Need to video it-was laughing too hard this am.

Dang chickens managed to reach through fence and help themselves to several tomatoes too.

DH in Wisconsin this week for meeting. Trying to do the single mom thing-bonus kid needs to take her car into shop (but works 2 jobs daily), oldest has school then runs to work, band camp tonight for middle, soccer camp tonight for DS. I need a drink but I do not have time And all kids apparently "starving" as I haven't been home long enough to cook dinner. Will have to find a spot of time to get bunch of crockpot freezer meals together-last time I did that it took me 8 hours but oh what a SANITY saver on so many nights. Just didn't really anticipate summer being this crazy.

Oh well-summer flying by and that means trip(s) are closer. Should get first set of MB today or tomorrow.

Later homies-hope everyone is having a FABULOUS tuesday (fabulous is just such a great word!)

It's in the low 90's, humid and tonight our low will be high 70's

Went out for an errand earlier and staying put inside

Used to look so forward to going to Orlando September-October each year for the warm weather

Now I'm in Georgia, I look forward to mid January for cooler weather


Good to see you are back Robo!

MonyK would love to see little roo video strutting his voice

 

[Lynne G]

Aww, we need a picture of Lil Roo. Funny he stamps his feet.

Great pictures Robo. Ah, I would not like to know much about the snake either. When visiting a friend who lives in rural area, we were cooking in her outdoor stove, and rattle snake appeared. She got out her shotgun, and thank goodness was a good shot. That snake was large too. Not for me. Rattle snakes only found in the mountains north of me.

Well Mac, at least we are sharing the hot and humid weather today. Yeah, little one and I went out for some errands and to visit her GM, and by the time we were home it was 8:30 last night. Temp - 86 degrees. She said it's going to be hot tomorrow. Oh yes it is. And even more humid tomorrow. Heat index, feel like temp - to be 104 or 105. Soupy to say the least. And every day we're spinning that Thunderstorm roulette. Maybe will be landing on black tomorrow. Weather people are saying our odds are much higher. It's summertime, and the living is easy. Inside.

 

[macraven]

lynne be glad you only have a few summer days of the humid and heat.
try living in it for months at a time.......

but no way would i trade to move back to chicago area for their weather.....



since i'm generally housebound, i'm only out for a reason....lol
when i get back to grocery shopping, i'll do it late evening then.

the most i get outside now is to check the mail box

 

[Chuckers]

Yay.. I am currently in a message war with Chevrolet Customer Care over their refusal to refund me for the car problems. A gift certificate for accessories, which costs them nothing, is their way of 'making me happy.' Well, it's not making me happy at all.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, for the next decade or so, I can complain about the seasons. Well, I like the warm fall and warm spring.

Keep at it Chuckers. Vouchers no, money, yes.

Hey Tink. Hope all is well and you are better now.

 

[Chuckers]

Keep at it Chuckers. Vouchers no, money, yes.

I am.. especially when I found out that GM boasted a $9.43 BILLION net profit year in 2016. My request is such a threat to that profit.

 

[Lynne G]

Happy Wednesday all! Yes, for Keisha, though the hump day does not mean much anymore, camel is needed as it is the hump day of the work week.

Sunny day, sun keep those clouds away. Warm start, 6am, and it was 80 degrees. Yep, probably hotter or almost as hot as Orlando, 95 today, 97 tomorrow. And oh joy, the humidity is high today, and will be extreme tomorrow. The nasty storm line that hit Keisha's area fell apart when it hit the mountains on our side of the state, and headed enough north of us, no rain to be found last night. But, our chances increase later today, and even higher tomorrow. We're on our second day of temps in the 90's, so heat wave number 5 is upon us. By Friday though, back to the 80's.

So. Time for my tea.

 

[Chuckers]

Yay, Tea! Going to make mine now!

 

[macraven]

So it's Wednesday now....

I'll stay inside until early evening
Preferring central air today

Hope all homies are doing fine and having a great day !

 

[Chuckers]

I can't concentrate on anything today.

Morning Mac, Lynne and Chuckers .

I have my big mug of coffee in hand and the sun is shining.

Hubby is sick. He started with a sore throat our last day in South Dakota and it turned into a pretty bad cough. Sent him to a Doc Monday and he has bronchitis. He's on some meds and his own personal nurse is attending him (me).

Granddaughters birthday is this weekend. She will be 20. Need to shop her a birthday present. Don't think I can top the gift hubby and I gave her last year. She got a new car. Will come up with something.

Mac hope you are feeling better everyday and the pain is doing a lot better. Hope the walking is getting better

Monykalyn your little roo sounds so cute. That would be something if you could get a video of him crowing.

Chuckers the count down to your vacation is getting closer.......now that you have been counting down all along it has me thinking of when I leave.....2 months 3 weeks and 4 days till HHN for me. Looking forward to HHN.

Have a great Wednesday everyone.

 

[Chuckers]

@Robo56 When yesterday turned out to be under two months in my count down, I got really excited! I have a white board at work that looks like this:

1 29 16 35 42

Across the top is months, days, hours, minutes, seconds
Going down is total weeks, total days, total hours, total minutes, total seconds.

I update it every morning at work.

 

[macraven]

Since I arrive the same date as Robo,
I'll look at her listed numbers for the count down to UO ........


ANd that is when I will be there
