Well I am glad I was able to do some mowing and laundry yesterday. From last night until earlier this morning, we got two inches of rain. Mom and I had gone out to dinner as well as do a little shopping, and as we were coming home the rain started.

The temperature Monday was supposed to be 98 but was twenty degrees cooler. But, this weekend is supposed to be very hot.

Was going to do some laundry and a little mowing this morning but it rained just enough before I could do anything. So will try again tomorrow. The total amount of rain was about one eighth of an inch.

Still waiting for my jury duty check. Guess as with everything, when the government is involved things take time.

We have had weather recently that seems a bit more normal for July in Kansas. Dry and hot, with occasional cooler days. Some parts of the area have had rain, but it hasn't rained in more then a week. Maybe its closer to two weeks.

Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico hit southern Texas and parts of Mexico. I think they said it was a category two hurricane, which is a milder storm. If you can call something like that mild.

Estelle Getty passed away. Although I haven't seem much of her work, I did love her on "The Golden Girls", she was probably the best character.

Kiska's birthday is tomorrow. Its hard to believe she is going to be three years old.

Went to have the car worked on this past weekend and only got the oil change taken care of. Seems like some places have no idea what they are doing. Mom took care of getting the appointment this time and thought she was clear on what needed to be down. After we dropped the car we had breakfast and then did some shopping, when we got back the car was done. We thought it had been done a little bit too quickly. Once inside she was told that they didn't usually do the one thing we needed done on a weekend because the places they get parts from are closed. Well we would not have gone there if we had none that ahead of time. So even though we got something done that was needed, the other thing was far more important. Now we are more then likely going to postpone the other thing until some other time and maybe go elsewhere to have it fixed.

I am now off the hook for jury duty. Even though I haven't had a summons in almost four years, I am glad I don't have to do jury duty. Maybe the next time I get a summons, it'll be a nicer time of year.

Not too much going on around here lately. Its been pretty nice temperature wise and we have been getting some rain. But I know its all bound to change at some point.

Have jury duty this week. Went yesterday and waited all morning to be told that all the cases were pretty much done but that we still might be needed. So until later in the week I am still on the jury duty hook.

We have been having nice weather so far this summer. That is until yesterday. Warmest day so far this year.

We decided not to see the movies after all. Both were things that were sort of interested in, one was getting terrible reviews. Think I will wait until their air on HBO or something to view them.

I finally bought a couple of those digital to analog converter boxes. We went to two places while out yesterday and neither place had them. So I just bought them online, whole lot less hassle that way.

Have a few fireworks for this evening. There have been a few people setting stuff for the past couple of days, but not as bad as it has been in past years. But we still have a group of morons who thinks everyone wants to hear their crappy band play. Wish the cops would actually do their jobs and tell the idiots to turn it down.

The new computer we bought last week is working out great. The other computer was finally just too much of a problem and needed to be replaced.

We got three and a half inches of rain from eight pm Wednesday evening until sometime early this morning. A majority of it came last night. Not surprising, there is water in the basement and I wont be able to do laundry for awhile. Some areas got hail, though I don't think we got anything other than just rain.

Mom has today and tomorrow off. We are planning to see a couple movies, but I am not sure we will see them. Also plan on a little shopping.
