"I can live for two months on a good compliment." - Mark Twain


The record for today's date in Sun City - 111 degrees.
Today's high - 110 degrees.
Last summer we set a record for the most consecutive days over 110. I really don't want to repeat that this year.

I was poking around my phone this afternoon and discovered there were a TON of pictures on there, including almost every pic I've put on this blog over the last 8 months or so. To free up memory (I'm a neat freak about things like that) I deleted a bunch of them. Tonight I noticed that a whole bunch of my blogs are missing their picture.
Times like this I long for simpler times.
I'm trying to decide if I want to reload a pic on those posts. And no, I don't still have them on my laptop. Deleted them there, too.

I worked on the truck bed this morning. First I ground down all the welds that Pete did and then went to work filling all the dents. The bed is the worst part of the truck in that regard, but that's to be expected; it's the working end of a work vehicle. For whatever reason things did not go well. I had one batch of filler that never set up and had to be scraped off, and other batches just didn't go on well. But it's body work and easily undone. I'm more than willing to start over in order to get it right. The filler is relatively inexpensive and the payoff worth the time and money.

I read this article on Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier just released in exchange for six Taliban held at Guantanamo. It's written by a soldier who was in the same battalion and participated in the search for Bergdahl. They were all told they could not speak about what happened for fear of putting him at greater risk, but now that he's free this soldier and others are speaking out. The word deserter seems just as appropriate as POW. Men were killed trying to rescue a soldier who walked away from his post.

I may have overdone it at the gym this afternoon. Uff-dah.
