Park City is 40 deg F right now. It might snow tonight or tomorrow morning. Sadly though I'm on the Delaware river at the moment, where it's hotter than two rats banging in a wool sock. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

It was 107 on I-10 near Ft. Stockton, Texas on Saturday afternoon. I don't know how I used to tolerate driving across the country in a car without air conditioning. Guess I didn't know any better. | |||

Because you saw some guy walking in the heat and decided driving without air conditioning beat walking without air conditioning? | |||

Saw 100º on a run to the store yesterday. Going to be making good use of the pool at our new house. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Iced tea makin' machine? Didn't know there was such a thing. All you need to make tea is a kettle to boil water and a pitcher. We like American Classic tea from Charleston. I looked at the Mr. Coffee thing and it only makes 2 quarts at a time...? We make 2 gallons at a time. Oh, well, I'll be out next to the cement pond with some sweet tea.  | |||

First day over 80, therefore: You planted 'maters? | |||

1. It makes 3 quarts. 2. I'm the only one in the house that drinks iced tea. 3. It's ready to drink immediately, no waiting for it to chill. Mom always made it your way and I HATED seeing/smelling tea and knowing it would be a couple of hours before it was cold enough to drink. Plus it was a pain in the ass to make and was considered a "treat". I can go from "Gee, some tea would be good right now" to "Slurrrrrrrrrrrrp" in about 15 minutes.

I wish. It went from 50's and wet to 80's and humid literally overnight. My garden is still a mudhole. If I planted TODAY they'd still be green when the frost hit. Fortunately, I tilled a garden for an old feller that loves to grow tomatoes and always grows way more than he can can and eat. Told him to call me when they start coming in and I'll buy a bushel of 'em. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Really. Northerns need a special gizmo to make 'iced tea'? YGTBSM. | |||

1/2 gallon mason jar (or 2) with a couple of tea bags in it, set on front porch before leaving for work, retrieve yummy tea when I get home. Rinse, repeat as needed. If it isn't going to be sunny I make it the night before and let it steep until the next evening. No power used and good tea. | |||

I've got a two gallon clear plastic jug with a spigot on it that I put out on the porch and leave it there for a few hours whilst it brews. Then I add sugar and lemon juice and stick it in the fridge. Starting in about July I go through at least a gallon a day. Sometimes more if I'm working out in the heat. I drink so much of it that I went to Lipton's decaf tea or else I'd be bouncing off the walls. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

It's 53 miles from Ft Stockton to the nearest town so you don't see many pedestrians. But yeah, even a 25 year old beetle beats heck out of Shanks Mare.  | |||

Huh... never heard of such a gizmo. You have a wife... right? Nevermind! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||
