Oh, she took her test this morning, and is confident she passed.

It's going to be another 98 degree scorcher out today. It lets up tomorrow, and we get some much needed rain. It's been an interesting weekend. The medical facility where Dd #1 works, put in for her to get her X-ray tech certification, so they signed her up. It was announced that the...

It hit 98 here, for the better part of the day. Dead air. Not a breeze stirring. Horrible. I kept an eye on my chickens, but the coop location, and design work with me, instead of against me, in the hottest of weather, so they did fine. I'm waiting for a spice cake to finish cooling down...

BTW, yes I still have to keep track of my weight, how much I eat, and what I eat, adjusting accordingly to maintain my current weight, otherwise I'll gain.

Remember all that weight I lost? It was still cold out. I had to order new clothes accordingly. Well, now it's hitting over 90 degrees, the pool has warmed to at least 86, so time to go swimming. OOPS. My bathing suit bottoms wouldn't even stay up, and that was before they got wet. I...

My dad had the best recipe for raised donuts. He'd wait for everyone to go to bed, so he had the clean kitchen to himself, then he proceeded to destroy it. When he'd do donuts, he'd do a couple hundred. By the time they were frying, mom would be up, have the oven racks out of the oven sitting...

97 is the high today.

Good morning OF.

Sour, there is a Ford dealership in Tampa that many people won't do business with, because they're a "dirty" dealership. They do things like screwing people out of their rebates, don't honor the "freebies" that they agree to add on, etc. The dealership we use is smaller, and closer to us...

They fixed the window. The head mechanic was who fixed the differential. He saw the window, and insisted they did have the part to fix it, even if it wasn't showing in their inventory. He went into the parts dept., and emerged in a little bit with the part in hand, and a smile on his face...

Yesterday, when Dh went to pick up the grands from school, the back passenger side window rolled all the way down, by itself. He couldn't get it up (I'm not touching that with a 10 ft. pole). After loading up the kids, he went to the Ford place. Yeah, it's a known problem. They used the...

Thank you! I was thinking along the same lines.

I've had to take it easy today.

LTAY, if you and your spouse ever get down this way again, please let me know. Maybe we could make plans to meet for lunch, or something.

LTAY, my parents had a place on Lake Tiger, one of the lakes on the Kissimmee Chain. It's near the park you mentioned.

The local Seminole Indian Reservation here, had a Culture Center. It was really nice, and educational. Part of the experience, was the alligator wrestling show. They did the show multiple times daily, and one left with a good deal of knowledge about alligators. Yes, they can run up to 25 mph...

I think I told this before, but years ago the Army Corp of Engineers decided they had to change the route of the Hillsborough River. It was a drought year, and it was low. Because it was low, there were very few gators. Yes, that would be the best time to dynamite the river banks, and change...

You "shine" gators. Go out in the dark, sit real still for 20+ minutes, then use a high powered light, or flashlight to shine across the water. The red orbs are the gator eyes. Quietly, and gently paddle your boat to the eyes, and sit there quietly. If you're gentle, and quiet enough they'll...

It's already that way. Culverts in ditches are housing gators, every pond, and puddle of any size has gators. When the airport, and Air Force Base have to have large gators removed from their runways, twice in the last couple months, not to mention the multiple properties, and highways they've...

BTW, it's still in the 90's here in this part of the South.
