It's been a scorching few days here too (hotest of the year so far) but ended today thankfully (and second the A/C comment!). The warm, clear nights were nice for viewing the moon, and we also hoped to catch the perseids meteor shower but it was pretty dissapointing this year (only caught a couple meteors in a combined hour or so of viewing). It's still nice sitting out and looking up at the stars on a warm evening though. Always makes one ponder the vastness of the universe, and realize the tiny little insignificant specs we are within it, haha.Originally posted by abcowboy View Post

Good morning all! Sitting on the back porch with my coffee and enjoying the early morning hours. Looks like another hot and humid day so it looks as though the air conditioner will be getting another workout.
Twenty four more for all of us please...Comment

Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.

It is nice looking up at the stars in the evening Mulburry, and with harvest just around the corner I'll have lots of chances to see them. We usually get a few evenings when the Northern Lights come out and dance for us.
Nice to have that meat in the deepfreeze instead of having to but weekly dill, and if it's anything like here, a lot cheaper buying it that way. We don't get any hamburgers made from our ground beef just because I like mixing in some spices and b-b-que sauce when I make it into hamburgers or meatballs.
Enjoy those porch mornings while you can Jude, cooler temps will be here before we know it.

Hi all! I see I missed check in yesterday. All is well here. Crazy amount of humans. Lol
I'll take another day!Comment

Late check in here, due to volunteering. Nice morning though!
Cowboy, I hear you on liking to make your own patties and add flavor and spice. But Mr. D and I both seem to like our beef burgers without embellishments. Mr. D likes his beef to taste like beef.
24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.Dill

Good morning cafe!
Mr. J and I have considered buying a quarter of a cow for the freezer but so far we've put it off due to the cost. We don't buy steaks from the store very often because it's so expensive. Might be time to reconsider buying beef in bulk and making room in the freezer.
Mr. J is helping his farmer friend bale hay today, so it looks like I'll have the house to myself. Yay! Even though I'm retired, Friday is still my favorite day of the week. Not sure why, but there you have it.
Here's to twenty four hours of peace...Comment

Good morning Cafe. I totally forgot to check in yesterday. All is well here and Mr. R did NOT go to the doctor but he is much better. I actually got him to agree to go but the next day he did not cough all night so he is on the road to recovery. Ginger, I hope you are having a great time. Cyrus is one lucky cat to go on vacations. Cowboy glad you are getting those teeth fixed. You dont go thru all that work and have a smile where you cant see your teeth! I have a friend who has very short teeth and will never smile in a picture. Jude and Dill good to be able to have freezers to hold the beef. Our tiny house and condo dont allow that but I just buy beef sparingly anyway. We have lost 15 and 5 pounds (me). I can really notice that weight loss in my stomach which is my problem area. I think of it as taking 5 packs of hotdog and wrapping them around my waist. Yep that really puts it in perspective! Hope you check in Slo and Techy. Wishing everyone a peaceful Friday. 24 more please and thank you.Comment

I hear you about the price of beef Jude, every once in a while I get a hankering for a good beef steak, but I'm not spending $20 a pound for it. Bubba and I wait till the beef briskets go on sale then I cut it into steaks. Not the best cut of beef but it does the job.
I guess I should have explained myself better dill, the only hamburger we have eaten for years is moose (some antelope) so I usually spice it a bit so it's not so gamey. I'm with Mr D on beef though, I want to taste beef whenever I have it.
"crazy amount of humans" is something Cyrus might have said Ginger, I got a chuckle from that lol.
Glad Mr R is better Rava, and good on you both for losing some weight.Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...

Enjoy your Friday, Jude! Freezer beef may be a savings, but it did not feel like it this time around! The beef cost double what it did last time we did this in 2021. But everything seems to be going that way. Our home insurance has doubled since we first took out the policy. More than doubled, actually. And we haven't even made any claims to speak of. It's a puzzlement. So far we are able to keep up with things, but if this runaway train isn't stopped, who knows? I imagine lots of people might be getting squeezed out of their homes.Don't g et me started on property taxes!
Rava, I'm glad Mr. R is on the mend!
Hi Cowboy, and Ginger and Mul. Check in please, Slo.
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer! LOL! 24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Dill, I hear you about the high costs of pretty much everything. Our electric bill went up a hundred dollars last month, and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon. It's tough for people these days, especially if they are on a fixed income. Apartment and house rental prices have gone through the roof and I don't know how young people just starting out can find a place to live.
Waves to all, and here's to another twenty four for all of us please...Comment

Good morning and Happy Saturday! Hope everyone has a great and sober day. Beautiful weather on the map for us today. 24 more please and thank you.Comment
