August 9, 2018

The heat and humidity has been brutal. May try to get out tonight but it will have to be under 85. Chances if that are slim.    – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Long layoff

July 29, 2018

Seems early for them to be doing this, but sure glad about it. They did not deforest the trees this year,…
