Good morning!☕️ It’s 76° still and will be a hot one today.

Damn...and the Sun ain't even up yet..

Stopped in Casa Grande Arizona early one evening...hotter than blazes out. Crawled
in the bunk (truck running, A/C blowing both in the cab and the sleeper) and
got back up just before midnight. Opened my door to head into the truck stop
for some breakfast and it was like opening the door on a blast furnace..it was
still 100F at midnight.

Welcome to the desert southwest. I've driven from Flagstaff, to Phoenix, and had the temperature change from 34°F to over 100°F. If you want more oddities like this, just move to the area!

Good Mornin'. 73 F right now, 101 F this afternoon.

For the unfortunate working stiffs out there, Monday's can seem to last forever.

Storms in the night had extra rumblings.

A Lance Russell print .
"The last of His Race".

Lots of symbolism.
Including a buffalo hunt in the clouds is hard to see..

Robert Griffing .
We dined in a Hollow Cottonwood Tree."
(I too wonder if it's a cottonwood.)

Last spring an annual participant at fort Michilimackinac announced the fort was not allowing reenactors to camp on fort grounds this year on the 4th of July..
I proposed a full on raid of the fort but he didn't seem to grasp my intent.
Groups still attended. No I have not at the fort.)
Other groups continue other times ;like this one.

Good morning

Monday morning and I just ran into my old buddy Murphy again it seems.

Back story:
(I had spent a month of scanning uploading 500 photos from slides and negatives to the computer 10 years ago. Only to have the program to be outdated by Apple)

We finally got around to getting our backpacking photos transferred to digital a month ago

This morning I was looking for something else and found in the document file and image file with 557 images.......
Hi Murphy 👋 🤣

Need to stalk that freezer more often

Good afternoon !!

Need to stalk that freezer more often

It's manual defrost.
Small freezer below the refrigerator I sit in front of it , lift lower basket out and do initial break of ice with a hammer.
Always in a hurry I suppose.
Last time I was looking for a particular cut for a sister when my nephew visited.
That's when I found the older package.
My writing on vacuum sealed bags with a red marker isn't too graphic.
( Red doesn't stand out well against red meat.)
I manage to see the cut type alone and I'm happy.
Usually any leftover near season becomes jerky.

As long as it isn't freezer burnt, it good to go here.
