Hi, everyone. Hubby is using his new slicing machine to cut the leftover tri-tip into thin slices for sandwiches. I will make the au jus to go with it for French dip sandwiches. Hubby sure loves his toy!! Look at the count! We are scooting right along and will soon be at the 2/3 mark. Welcome, Christmas!!!

I wish I could have been there!!! I spent most of my day tearing apart a chevy 454 engine with my cousin and then he had a cookout at his house. I made it home just in time for the race. I should have just stayed at my cousins and watched the fireworks from the horsetrack. I sure hope Juniors luck turns around next weekend or we may fall out of the chase again this year. :-?

Crank up the ac!!! That's what I'm doing right now !!:
I had it cranked up all the way but my nieces are staying the night and they kept running in and out and not closing the door behind them. I finally took the screen out of the screen door and put the glass in. Now it is nice and chilly!!!!!

Thanks!!!! The cool air is almost here. It is clashing with the warmer air north of me right now and causing some strong storms.

I bet nobody else spent a fine evening watching a Buster Keaton silent comedy! cheesy An early birthday present: The new video transfer of "Our Hospitality" with the score by Carl Davis, projected onto the big screen ... good stuff.
Seawaters, dogginit, you're making me hungry again!

Skiing on the Fourth of July? It's happening here in Utah.
Even though for us city folk down in the valley, where we're sweltering near 100 degrees for this first time this year the ski resorts are still working the lifts. In the article in the link above it talked about Snowbird, which is roughly 8 miles to the north east of my house as the crow flies.
My kids were really hankering to go camping and with a three day weekend and thing plenty slow here I would have done it because one of our favorite spots is just up the canyon only ten or fifteen minutes from the house. But those campgrounds are closed still due to snow and while from my house only the very tops of the mountains appear to have snow apprently it is still pretty deep up there.
Whodathunkit. I have half a mind to head up on there on Monday during the day for a little snow party before we light off the fireworks at night.

Congratulations, Seawaters!
here ya go...blowing some of our now cool and refreshing air your way!
I could use one of those!
I love Buster Keaton silent comedies. Do you like Harold Lloyd?
nice thing is if you get to hot you do not have far to go to cool off!
I lived in northern BC for a number of years and we had the same thing there some years. We could watch the snow coming in the fall down the side of the mountain.

Good morning, Christmas Family!
I am very sad this morning - one of my outdoor cats was deliberately hit and killed on the road last night. One of my neighbors is notorious for trying to take them out - he's gotten quite a few over the years as he always speeds up when he passes the house.
Getting ready to head out to the store - it is very foggy out right now, so it is a good thing we don't open until after 10.
Have a blessed Sunday!

Gooooooooooood morning! Everybody wake up! Coffee is being served and the eggs, biscuits, gravy, and bacon are soon to follow (at Made's). Meet everyone there!
Onward to the count:
Days to the season: 133
Days to Christmas: 175
Last night was sooooo much fun. Cookout, good race (until the last lap), and time spent on the deck (which is receiving a little TLC from me). Today, more of the same...yard work and deck work....gotta love it.
Right now, drinking coffee and watching birds fly. Man, I wish I could swoop around and soar like that. BEAUTIFUL.
Have a blessed day!

Good Morning MMC !
It is going to be a nice day on this the last day of our Canada Day long weekend. So much going on all over town this weekend, plus getting in some camping it has been a joy! Even got to visit with my sister who I have not seen since her daughters wedding last September.
Hope all my American friends are enjoying their long weekend to. Tomorrow is the 4th of July so you can also enjoy your celebrations and fireworks.
