Good morning everyone!

Sunday but not much sunshine. Because clouds. Got to make do with WADDB instead.
20 Celsius. Somewhere in the region it's supposed to rain a lot but not here obviously.
No skunk drama here and no broccoli slaw on the menu. But sounds like a great idea to use what you got.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. District meeting is at our Eagles today. We will serve a late lunch and have music afterwards. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Fogfighter Gerry Draclvr OldBroad Hagatha Connie and all who follow. Enjoying WADDB and bagels before getting started on projects and chores. Draclvr, what a fun adventure with Wilbur and let's call his friend Flower…is Flower the skunk a regular visitor? You are traveling light with just a carry-on Hagatha…I imagine you could also bring a largish handbag. OldBroad your BiBimBap Rice recipe with broccoli slaw sounds delicious…I love broccoli slaw. Great idea to go early for groceries Gerry…drive safe. Have a good meeting today Connie.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

Good Sunday morning. Cloudy and a bit cooler today. Maybe even a thunderstorm or two this afternoon. I actually got a lot of work done outside yesterday when it wasn't so hot. Might try to tackle that natural stone walkway today.

Fogfighter, no skunk or pig drama at the Ranch last night! Just three happy horses and one happy Zebu getting their 10:00 pm rations! I did have to lug 5 gallon buckets of water to several stalls in the old barn which doesn't have automatic waterers. But an easy night!

Happy Sunday to you all!

Gerry, Broccoli Slaw is a pre-packaged mix of shredded broccoli stalks, carrots, and red cabbage (mostly broccoli).

Hello Boomers, hope you are all keeping well and having a peaceful Sunday.
Drac, so very sorry to read about dear Bella. Been there a few times over the years and it is never easy.

Take care everyone, speak soon!
Much love,
Mary

Good Morning Dear Mary, Fogfighter, connie, soot, Draclvr, oldbroad and everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

My Dear Mary it is so good to see you here in the break room. I've joined you in many a conversation over the years here at GB. Thinking of you every day and sending love, hugs and prayers your way.

Hope you all have a good Monday to start the week.

Gerry

Good morning everyone!

A rainy day without much sunshine. 20 Celsius. WADDB helpful for starting the day.

Happy Monday GameBoomers

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Connie Fogfighter Gerry MsMary OldBroad Draclvr Hagatha and all who follow. It's wonderful to see you in the Break Room Ms Mary keeping you and family in my thoughts and prayers. Had quite the workout this morning removing a young Laurel oak tree which a squirrel gifted us years ago. I didn't give it much thought over the years as I love our shrubs, bushes and trees but then got to thinking about it when seeing it's limbs touching the house--providing a bridge for ants. So did some exploring, photo research (Google) to discover it wasn't growth from my bushes or hedges, it was one foot from our foundation and it was an oak tree.

Wishing you all a wonderful Monday

Good Monday morning. Went out early and pulled some rogue weeds - blech, the humidity is so high it's hard to breathe out there. It was 85% earlier.

Soot, I had to look up what a laurel oak tree was. It appears it is native to your area... we have swamp oaks in SE Missouri, but they are a little different. That laurel oak could have gotten huge and was not something you wanted so close to your house!

Well, the Bibimbap actually came out pretty good.

Good Morning Fogfighter, connie, soot, Draclvr, oldbroad and everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

It is going to be another weather heat alert today thru Friday with "feels like" temps between 95 and a 105+ degrees. I hope to walk early and slowly the rest of this week.

Great to hear your enjoyed the Bibimbap oldbroad.

Enjoy your day everyone!

Gerry

20 Celsius, some rain. Some regions nearby is supposed to get too much of the good wet stuff.
Staying indoors with WADDB just to be on the safe side

Happy Tuesday Gameboomers!

Good morning Fogfighter, Gerry, Draclvr, Connie, OldBroad and all who follow. Another hot day here too so concur with Fogfighter's plan of action ... stay indoors and enjoy WADDB and treats.

Have a great Tuesday everyone

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Tuesday morning. Hummingbirds fed and plants watered, now just sitting here enjoying the quiet morning and a cup of two of WADDB.

Oldbroad, you have inspired me to give the bibimbap a try!

I actually need to starting getting ready for the next influx of visitors. Son and his family are coming from Colorado to spend a week here. Now that the kids are all grown ups, it's harder to find places for everyone to sleep, so we're borrowing a popup camper we can set up right next to the house so we can plug it in. It has two queen beds and an air conditioner!

Have a good Tuesday everyone!

Good Morning Fogfighter, connie, soot, Draclvr, oldbroad and everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to start your day!

It is hot, humid and hazy here with weather advisory again. Very oppressive weather! I hope to take a couple short walks early.

Hope you all can stay cool today!

Gerry

Good morning everyone!

Chanterelle season has begun. I found a good location out in the woods. Prefer them fried with butter. Yummy!
May return later but there's always a risk someone else is quicker. Got enough for now. But first WADDB.

Happy Wednesday GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Wednesday morning. Heading for 95 degrees F today... blech.

Chanterelles are very popular here too, Fogfighter. They can usually be found through the end of the summer. I have a friend who goes foraging at least once a week for them. Since they found out in the woods and our temps are in the 90's and the ticks are plentiful, it's not for the faint of heart!

Since I have what seems like a metric ton of bright orange cherry type tomatoes called Sungold and two buckets of cucumbers, I'm going to make some marinated cucumbers, tomatoes and onions today. Saw a recipe for fermenting the little tomatoes with some garlic and fresh dill and since I have lots of all those things, I'm going to try some of those too.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!

My internet isn't sure it wants to work today so we'll see how it goes.

It's hot here also with storms possible. Gerry, I know you don't want to miss your walks but take it easy out there in this heat!

Good morning Draclvr Connie Fogfighter Gerry OldBroad Hagatha and everyone. Draclvr, I imagine the popup camper will be more enjoyable than the barn…your marinated cucumbers, tomatoes and onions sound awesome. Hope you got your walks in Gerry. Have fun at Bingo tonight Connie. Enjoying WADDB and bagels before I get back to chores and projects for the day.

Happy Hump Day everone

Hi again everyone.

Oldbroad I did manage to get in 2 shorter walks...I went very slow just under 4 miles. It was shady so that helped. Oldbroad I too have been having internet issues lately...I was thinking the weather might be playing a factor.

I love mushrooms Fogfighter, but I would not know how to pick which are good ones.

Gerry
