Oh What A Beautiful Day!

Post by OverEasy »

Hi All!

Tuesday was an absolutely beautiful day!
It started off like A Rodgers and Hammerstein song and only got better as the day progressed!


Early morning calm, noontime breeze and the prognostications of afternoon foul weather turned out to be the regular fizzle not amounting to anything really even mentionable.(Those weather folks must have had a really slow day to get so riled up over nuthin ….🙄).

Really a beautiful day in more ways… 👍😎😎👍

Hope everyone is doin’ great with SUMMER finally here!!!
June is off to a fanatic start! Can’t wait for the joy that July and August hold!

Best Regards,
Over Easy 😎😎🐩🐈

Beautiful day here, but a tad sporty. We thought about taking the fish boat out for a sail, but it was just too much.

Sat on the bank under my buddy's house and grilled burgers instead.

That works too.

I had to cancel our Chesapeake cruise because of my wife being in a rehab center to recuperate from her fall’s six fractures. Now we’re preparing for eleven days at Lake George in about a month.

So sorry to hear this Ray. Very glad she’s feeling well enough to plan a new trip!

It's important to be grateful for the beauty of God's creation in its many expressions.

However.

The combination of heat, humidity, and still air has been making working and playing outdoors fairly miserable here in north Texas for the last several days, with more to come. I guess it's the price we pay for starting the sailing season earlier that other parts of the country. :cry:

Hi NiceAft! I guess we all don’t bounce as well as we did when we were kids….When I fall down nowadays I just go thud and I just think about it for awhile🫣🙄… I’m glad your Admiral is feeling better and for your upcoming Lake George trip. That should be fun! It’s a beautiful lake.

Hi Stickinthemud57! Whatdayamean it’s hot and humid in Texas…Isn’t that normal for Texas from April till October?..🤔… leastaways it was for the dozen plus years I was there😉… The humidity was so thick at times folks down there would just whittle out a chair from it when they wanted to sit!… Ah do recall there use-ta-be a Texas town named “Hot” another named “Cool” but they never got around to officially naming one “Humid”. In Texas one can always visit “Paris” but ya’d best not skip being in “Nimrod” on the way to “Ding Dong” while taking in “Longview” to make a call from”Telegraph” or send a money gram from “Telephone” but watch yer step around “Quicksand” on the way to “Heck Springs” but watch out for the used car sales in “Conway”. I wonder if the Drive-in is still showing horror movies in “Kilgore”… There are some interesting sites in “Big Foot” but you might not want breath deeply the fresh air of “Big Stinking Creek”. They like their story telling in “Bull City” although they tell funnier ones in “Bucksnort” about wrestling mosquitoes in “Bug Tussle” and the tale of the two “Cactus” cities that had the two towns of “Climax” wanting the two towns of “Coldwater” to team up with the cities of “Denton” and bring some “Comfort” from the two towns of “Dido”. The music in “Diddy-Wa-Diddy” is popular over in “Dime Box”. If you feel compelled to do “Dewees” going into “Devils River” that could be “Dicey”. The pizza in “Domino” is “Flat” but not as much as “Flat Top”. There is a fair amount of activity at “Burning Bush” but it’s lively in “Boot Hill”, “Gunsight” and “Gun Barrel City” most weekends. “Fairy” and “Fairyland” are pleasant and a good little league game can be found in “Fair Play”. Sadly “Omega” is no more.

There many who would say Texas is a “Hxll of a place” but I’m not certain if they mean figuratively, literally, complementary or euphemistically…🤔😉🫣🙄😎

Best Regards,
Over Easy 😎😎🐩🐈

Nice little travelogue there.

Nice to read good days.

Our boat is floating, but June has been wet with crazy t-storms. We may go up tomorrow. Supposed to be a good day.

I hate you all.

From 5km and 5 minutes from my boat, I've just now moved from 60km and 60 minutes from my boat.

No more weekday evening cruises for me...
