Its like a broiler oven outside! Heat indices over a hunnert & major uncomfortable. We had our brunch outside in the back under an umbrella noonish and it was nice, but gosh(!) it heated up fast afterwards and now heat advisories are in effect thru Tuesday! Decided the smart thing to do was to stay put & do other stuff.
Spent an hour getting it thru AT&T's head that I do not want their free junk 5G phone activated and to leave my present one on, as it is clearly 4G compatible and
will continue to work when they affect their change to 5G in Feb. '21. Whot a chore!
, but it got done, so one less thing to have to worry with.
Ordered some more of the Fisher Space pens [the bullet shape] w/the replaceable stylus on one end, to use as gifts and stocking stuffer's come Christmas time. Have given several away that I'd bought last time & all of the recipient's have been pleased to get them. Nice, having a pen that writes 100% of the time at hand all the time. Those small bullet pens slip in a pocket and ya don't even know its there. Shirts don't always have pockets; men's pants and cargo shorts do. I find mine as handy as a pocket knife. It lacks the stylus. For a lady, they will fit in a small clutch just fine, if they are going out in a SBD and in anything w/pockets, same as men. They take up very little room.

Coincidentally, we are having fajitas tonight. Caught some nice looking marinated skirt steaks on a flash kinda sale not long ago. Post Independence Day deal where the grocer had sold less than anticipated and so put a few in the freezer. Bride had pulled one to thaw in the fridge last night, unbeknownst to me.
Cost per # was way under $21!
That's scary, even in today's crazy moment.

Find myself recalling Heinlein's fictional character, J. Harshaw, who was credited with saying some rather prescient things, as it turns out, a long time back, but I can't quote it here, lest it be taken as political commentary.

Watching a NASCAR virtual leader board, Keselowski did not not have a good day at all at the Glen. From 1st place lap 6 of the first stage to 35th at the end of the race.
Stuff happens, in racing, in fishing [the big one, that got away; sometimes confused w/hooking an immovable object & pulling until the line breaks] and life in general.

Passing Volvo's in that manner hardly sounds like fun, Al. Hope you will seek some better assistance tomorrow, before it worsen's further. Mr. York's advise was sound, to my way of thinking. Get that truck on the cam and haul yer issue to where you can get some real help!
