Good 51º clear sunny morning. Hit 90º yesterday. Not too
shabby.
Yesterday morning I took Dude to the vets to have his stitches
removed.
He's doing fine with that, but still a
limping problem with his back leg, so will make an appointment for an x-ray next
week. The doc checked it out and watched him walk. We'll see what is causing the
problem. Then a stop at the Post Office to pick up a package. A stop
at friend Pat's to drop off my old shredder. She said she wanted it, too small
for me, since I shred almost everything I get in the mail.
I had not been up our road to Wimer in a very long time. The Wimer Covered
Bridge had collapsed a few years back, 2003, and Brian and Jen had ridden
across it on my old Harley the day before! Boy were they lucky!!!
Anyway, going up that road there are lots of changes, mostly run down
places and old junk cars. There is a HUGE marijuana grow up there too. Acres and
acres and lots of buildings (assuming for growing in winter and also packaging)
being built.
Ok now, here is a short video of 10 of the world's most amazing people .... for one reason or another... mostly weird stuff!!
Two special birthdays today.... high school pal Jon Harting. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON!!!
When he and his Linda came up here to buy Jerry's John Deere.
And also celebrating is pal Patty K's daughter in law, Linda Kuehl. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!!!
I hope you guys both have a special day!!!

Later it was a quiet evening. Just chair, wine, and TV. I am
getting frustrated with Family Feud. The questions they ask "100 people" or "100
men" or "100 women" come back with some super stupid answers! So, naturally the
players don't get them right. Ah well....
Have a good weekend everyone!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.

July 22nd
Hammock Day
Summer
is in full swing. It's time to slow down and to relax. During the Dog Days of summer (and all of the other summer days,
too), there is no better place to slow down and relax, than on a hammock under a
shady tree.
Hammock
Day is appropriately celebrated right in the middle of the Dog Days of summer (July 3 though August 11th).
Hammock
Day exists to enjoy summer as it should be enjoyed. People celebrate Hammock Day
by spending as much time relaxing on it as possible. Getting out of your hammock
to get a snack, or your favorite summer beverage is okay. But, it is not a day
for work. Cutting the lawn is forbidden on this day.
Origin of Hammock Day:
Hammock
Day was created by Bob Matthews, of
Holiday Insights in 2008. Bob says that our lives are normally busy and hectic.
Summers is a special time to lay back, enjoy the weather and re-charge our
batteries .What better way to do this, than from the comfort of a hammock under
a shady tree!?
Some
websites have erroneously reported this as a "National" According to Bob
Matthews, the creator of Hammock
Day, this IS NOT a "National"
day.
