Howdy from sunny Arizona. The weather folks are all excited about summer. Seems this week is a little more summer +16.

Today we'll be outside setting steel plates for a washout bay floor. The goal is to be done by 1, before it gets hot.
I feel sorry for those who work inside on a sunny summer day

Still fighting folks. But no longer playing nice!
Be good Humans!

Good morning all! Thanks for the coffee! I don't need ant myself because I dun drunk all of mine. I'm good. Lol
It is hot again today. Don't know how hot because I don't want to know.
I think the dead bird is gone. I'll find out for sure when I gather the trash bin from the curb (or by the dirt road that has no curb). I should have done a video. I threw paper towel over it, had gloves on and a bucket with a trash bag nearby and a shovel. The dang thing fell off the shovel on the 1st 3 tries. I made disgusting guttural screams each time. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. But I did it! And I will be so pissed if the dang bag with the bird didn't make it into the garbage truck!
Sorry about the knee Darren! Be careful with it in CO! Walking on uneven surfaces won't be easy.
So happy to see @Sven on here to let us know he's still fighting! Keep it up little buddy!
I have a dental cleaning today. So, I do get to get out and about.
Prayers to all, because we are all kind of old and going through stuff. Be kind, they may be going through stuff too. Hug the ones you love!

Good Wednesday Morning, Kids!
It’s raining for the first time in six weeks here in Western Washington, with temps currently at -41°… We’re expecting up to an inch in the next 24 hours, so maybe it will help the brave firefighters trying to protect stuff over on the Olympic Peninsula… they’ve resorted to wrapping historic buildings in some kind of aluminum wrap to try and protect them from inbound flames…

Sorry to hear Darren has extra pieces in the ol’ knee joint floating around… will be thinking of you as you travel and play in Colorado, remember ibuprofen is your friend… ice at night to keep the inflammation under control and you’ll be golden…. @Darrel has hit it on the head… getting older means systems that are little used, or unused, tend to break down… my FB feed has more ads for “chair yoga” and “tai chi” than anything else… I’ve started saving them in a continuous Note on my iPhone, for the day I get really motivated to move more… not that EVER procrastinate…

If you are facing any kind of challenge or fight, know we are in your corner and pulling for you!
Might have to go catch a movie in this rainy weather…
Have a great day!

So after working outside all day, I got in my truck to head home and check out the temperature.

Now after driving about 15 minutes it got down to +20.

So it was hot today.

Our News report said+16 at the airport

Yikes! That's egg-frying temps, @Lots O Fords! Hydrate hydrate hydrate, my friend.

First things first, here some Tim Hortons coffee for all of you, grab yourself a chair and sit back and relax, because your friend Henry has a story to tell.

Here’s my story and it’s sad but true…”no this is not a Dion DiMucci, or a Metallica song,” this is my story of what happened two days ago.
This all happened around 5:00 in the afternoon, Donna and I were working in the garden and happen to notice that the sky’s were starting to get a little dark, we didn’t think to much of it so we continued to pull weeds.
It wasn’t before too long that we couldn’t help the continuous darkening sky’s, (keep in mind it’s hard to tell if they are rain clouds or smoke from the fires in Canada, which we’ve been plagued with for a couple of Months now) so Donna says to me “I think it’s going to rain,” so I pull my phone from my back pocket and take a look at the radar, “nope….nothing on the radar anywhere in Michigan, and I mean, No Where.”
We continued to work in the garden for another 30 seconds to a minute and just then it started to sprinkle. 😳 (remember I had just took my top and doors off this past weekend.)
Since it started to sprinkle, I decided to walk back to the house and get the Bronco cover and tarp to put on, I just made a few steps and it started to pour……and I mean “pour.”
The second I got the cover outside I had a hard time putting it on the Bronco because the cover was sticking to itself which made it very difficult to unroll and open.
This cover I was trying to put on is not waterproof, but it helps to hold the tarp up.
It was raining so hard that I pretty much gave up trying to finish tying the cover down and also putting on the tarp.
I waited until the rain slowed down so I could go out and dump what rain was held in pockets on the cover.
It wasn’t too much longer and the rain had finally stopped, so I went out and took the cover off so I could start cleaning out the Bronco, then the unthinkable happened again…..it started to downpour again…. 😡
I took the cover and towels and threw them as far as I could onto the ground, and looked up at the sky and said, “WHY ME….WHY THE F***ME……..WHAT DID I DO……WHY THE F*** ME.”
“THE ONLY RAIN IN MICHIGAN IS ONLY ON MY HOUSE…..WHAT THE F***.

As the program (Sponge Bob Square Pants would say) “30 minutes later.”

I was in the process again cleaning out the Bronco, and thinking to myself “why the F me…..why the F me,” when it all of a sudden hit me…..

“Why the F*** them….why the F*** them……
A little rain in the Bronco is nothing compared to all the people in Bronco Nation that have gotten sick, stricken with some type of illness, or even lost their life.
This even goes as far as to all the people we don’t know who have been affected in one form or another with Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, or Fires…..

I should feel pretty fortunate that all it was, was a little rain in the Bronco……..
So I finished cleaning the Bronco out with no hatred or anger, just the thoughts of how fortunate I was that it was “just a little rain.”

“From me to you…..Prayers to all of you that need them.”

Pictures or it didn’t happen!!!

Good morning all! I have a pot of Seattle's Best for y'all.
We have 2 more days of temps getting to -1°. Monsoons come back Saturday. Good, but our club is doing a night run Saurday for the Sturgis full moon. Hope I can flop the top back (and tie it down) for this run.
The auction people come at 9 this morning to take pictures. I may have links tomorrow. I have to get the Jeep started and pulled out of the shop. And go through 1 more box that has picture frames in it, some frames have pictures that I want.
@BroncOitis your story was funny. I will speak for everyone if I may. We enjoy the stories of day to day struggles, even if those struggles seem mundane to what we are going through - like having to pick up dead birds. 😖 We accept anything that puts a smile on our face. Lol. Not to say that we don't understand the inconvenience of having it rain in our open vehicles. So thank you for sharing. And you are a great story teller.
Wishing all well and to having a very good Thirsty Thursday. Hugs!

Funny thing about the whole rain situation, Donna kept telling me that “it’s going to rain,” and I kept saying, “the app begs to differ.”
After all the rain and cleanup, Donna said, “I told you so, looks like I’m right again.” 🤣

Meanwhile, A couple of days before the monsoon we were thinking of replacing the toilet seat, and we had an a bet saying that she said the toilet seat was plastic and I was saying it was wood.
This has been going on now for a day or two.
Since Donna thinks she’s right most of the time and I just got done with the anger management classes for the anger I held for all the water in my Bronco.
I decided it was time to see if I was right.
I took the toilet seat off, took a brick to it and broke it into pieces, long and behold…………….
Wait for it………….
Almost there…………

“I was right.” 👍🙂

BroncOitis

“I was right.” 👍🙂

We got the new toilet seat on last night, and everything is good….
By the way…….
The new toilet seat……..
it’s Wood!!!🤣🤣🤣

"Why the F me...why the F me...?"

"Well, why not you?"

PS: I attended Anger MisManagement Class. Graduated with highest honors!

With my choice words of “Why the F*** Me.”
Here’s “Why Me.”

@BroncOitis,

I once had a private audience with the Great Guru. Yes--the Great Guru himself! It was a happy freak of circumstances, but there was a spot in his schedule for a private audience, and I took it! I'll ever forget being escorted down the elegant corridor, full of rich red, gold, and orange ornaments, drapes, the scent of incense... very inspiring!

So I'm taken to his Inner Chamber. He sat on a gold pillow, lotus position, so wise and serene. I hadn't thought of what I wanted, I was overwhelmed, here I was with the Great Guru himself! "I don't know what to say, or ask, O Guru," I blurted out. "Just tell me what I need to know to traverse this mortal life!"

He looked at me, so benign and serene, and simply said,

"Shit happens."

Now for something MUCH more serious…

Hey, Skip @BroncOitis remind me not to challenge Heny to prove a point especially on stuff that are a bit more valuable than a toilet seat... please?!? 😳

It’s all about how you present yourself.
There isn’t one person that will hold you back for more anger management treatments if nothing ever changes.
You simply move on, and you’ve graduated!!!
