As for me, I am partial to well done, classic street rods. 

 

My town hosts the NSRA Street Rod Nationals North every September... you don't even need to go to the show, just drive around town and there are street rods EVERYWHERE.  

Many of the owners have a "bonus" car show in their hotel parking lot in the evenings.  You can just go from one hotel to the next (because they fill every hotel in a 20-mile radius) and people are sitting in lawn chairs out in the parking lots by their cars, chatting with people and admiring each others' cars.

Good afternoon.

It is 72°F and sunny here in North East England.

We had heavy rain last night for the first time in several days.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

You beat me to it.  Stay cool!

I'm back from running 2 errands and we're going to stay in and relax.  

No rain for at least the next 8 days with temps in the mid to high 90s.

Unlike our previous severe storm weather watch, we are now in a severe heat advisory.

And so it goes.

We had a great weekend. All 3 daughters and their families gathered at the house this weekend.  2 couples from church wanted to prepare a meal for our family.  It turned out to be a feast!  There was 15 of us and we might of ate a 1/3 of the feast.  Lots of leftovers.
A smoked Boston Butt that turned out sooo tender.  We turned it into pulled pork.


Three racks of ribs! Delicious!

 

 

Two large banquet size sides of mixed vegetables and baked been.

 

Strawberry Cobbler and brownies with icing.

 

 

It was really good.

The girls wanted to treat me so yesterday they took us to a Mexican restaurant.   

I had a shimp fajita salad.

 

Not sure what but a couple other meals ordered.

It is 81* in my office at work today so far. The A/C has been repaired a bunch of times in the last month, but it broke again last week. Parts are on order (again).

Brian posted these pics from the College World Series on social media yesterday, and the caption ended with: “Many things bring fathers and sons together, but few do it as well as baseball.” ❤️❤️❤️

 

 

And here they are at church yesterday:

This reminds me.... while I was auditing a City the treasurer's phone rang.  Her ring tone was that song!

I just heard about this. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome but I’m not sure if it is possible. 😢

Owen came home from school today, 2 more full days left. Then 4 days of exams/year end assignments. 
 

Today they had the sports assembly and he showed this to us when he got home. An amazing thing to get, but for some reason Lisa and I aren’t surprised.

They say it has a crew of one and 4 passengers.  Cost per passenger is $250,000.  UK Billionaire Hamlisch Harding was one passenger. No word on who the other passengers were.

LOOUUU during the Olympics too if I remember correctly. 

 

Saw this at our hotel when getting post game Pizza. You will get the reference. 
 

 

Yep.  Luongo was in Bathurst NB During his Major/Junior years.  It was LOOOUUUUUU even back then.

 

And Thank for sharing your Vegas and Mr Stanley Experience.

Last I heard it was 1 guest and 4 crew. I would think they have more guests than crew though so your account makes more sense. Either way it’s 5 people. 🙏
