The old and tired saying comes to mind: If I knew I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself. However, despite our reckless self-deprecation in our earlier years, we have managed to turn all the bad habits into less-worse habits and persevered this far down the road to eternity. We remain in good health and visit the specialists of the few ailments (now in remission) who monitor those functions and all gauges are in the green.
Our festivities for the day will consist of Steaks on the Barbie with a nice salad provided by the Damsel. There might even be a couple of adult beverages consumed as the day goes on.
We may get some rain and a possible Thunderstorm later today. As I look back on the years, I can remember quite a few times we had lightning shows in mid to late July. That would be nice if we have some of that today – we could use the cooler weather, but not so much the inevitable humidity that comes with it.
Here’s to another trip around Old Sol.
Happy Birthday, Bob!! Been warm here the last few days, with afternoon showers. I set my GoPro up on a tripod facing East out of the garage door, as that’s where we’ve seen the Big Organic Light Shows. Took a bit to get it into time-lapse mode (RTFM!), but now I can just hit the button, and hopefully get some lightning displays.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, DrJim.
Our lightning show for today isn’t going to happen but maybe tomorrow. I’d be interested in seeing some of your lightning pix when you get them.
I’ll put them on YouTube and link to the blog.
