Sammy, we have been having record setting temps this summer, what might be normal for Texas has left Oregon with extreme fire dangers, logging is shut down and many fires are burning destroying homes and entire forests. We've had a little respite this week but are going back into the 90's again. Our ski areas had a snow-less winter and the same is predicted this winter. Our rivers are down so low that sport fishing has been curtailed in many areas. Oregon is not used to this so many are suffering. We may have to change the state tree to palm trees if this keeps up.

Sorry to hear about the heat in Texas!!!! [biggrin]  As you can see we are in Bayfield, Colorado - our annual trip.   Right now it is 51 degrees - it is 9:17 am.   I still have my heater on in the RV.  We are going "Jeeping" with some friends in a little while.  [eek] That is what I look like for most of the trip! I have not really gotten totally used to  it yet.  Fortunately our driver has been doing this for about 30 years.

Unfortunately we will be leaving the cool temps on Sunday & heading home so that my sister can come to Pagosa Springs.  They are leaving on the 3rd of Sept. and one of us has to be in town.  Mom is not doing well and gets very nervous is one of us is not close by.  So we will head back so that Linda can leave for a while.  You guys try to stay cool and I will bring some cool weather back with me!!!!  [wave]

I started August 10th at Cheerleader Company. Rod, we got some of your weather today. Low 62 degrees and rain. Awesome relief from the Texas heat and 41 day drought.
When is the next mini ?

I'm happy for you Sam!  It's always nice when your employer asks you to come back and help out.  When do you start?  This Monday?

Bucket List?? [confused]  Are you kidding?  I wake up in a different world every day.  I make plans according to how I feel that day and what time the Rangers are playing!  What a great game that started at 1:05.  3 consecutive homeruns!!!!

You didn't say if you accepted the offer, Sam. Can you telecommute or do you have to drive in every day?
Does anybody really have a bucket list?

Sammy - A temp job is good, earn a little extra spending money.

It just proves my point how really important it is to stay hydrated in this Texas heat. A good friend of Sarah's and mine designs, builds and installs water fountains and also was dehydrated. Started having kidney stone problems, etc. etc.
I was asked to come out of retirement from the original Cheerleader Supply Company and help work on their Accounts Receivables. It's Monday - Thursday. The pay is nice and gives me something to do until mid December.
We are looking forward to the next Mini.

Happy Jack and James Brown Sam Smith, thanks for the kind words. Yes, I was surprised to be asked by WFAA TV to show a pool being excavated in 105 degrees.
The Reporter did a nice job interviewing us and describing how to manage the heat. My Excavator's Daughter was Care Flight to Children's Hospital that week before. She over heated on the first day of cross country practice.

You're right Jack, you can see a lot of the top players in Frisco (AA) or Round Rock (AAA) while they're rehabbing.  Ticket prices aren't bad either and you can usually get good seats.
  Last night was a good game!  Josh is doing well and again made the difference for us.  Happy for DeShields too!!

Don took the boys home Thursday and now it's quiet again. Just us and kitty.  School starts on 8-24.

Didn't see him on the show. Must have been the morning show. I did watch it on the web. What a natural. Did you see the stage presence? He looked straight into the camera and delivered his lines. Could be the makings of a new reality show.
Glynda's company had a baseball night on the 12th. So we went to Frisco and saw the Rough Riders play Tulsa. Really had a good time. Good parking, nice ball park, cool breeze and good baseball. We plan on going back. Anybody interesting in going in a group? Looked like good seats are available and I'm told they are priced good. Probably cheaper with a group. Guy I sat next to, said he had seen Josh Hamilton play when he was rehabbing.

Did you guys see the pool guy on channel 8 news? Sandy Magee and his crew were featured. Talking about the heat and staying hydrated while digging and installing pools.
By the way people, How soon we forget. IT'S AUGUST, IT'S TEXAS, GET USED TO THE HEAT!
