Turned the AC on for the first time this year, should have done it hours ago. It's almost 90 outside.
DW'S brother and SIL are driving in this afternoon from visiting their eldest son in Denver, she's been a nervous wreck all week. Oh well it's going to be better than last time, we threw a pot bellied pig on their laps and took off for several hours in a too small vehicle. If only I could borrow one for a couple hours.

I'm headed up your way (Chama) in a week and definitely chose a hotel with AC even though many of the hotel descriptions insisted that it was not necessary.

Dropped off our trapped groundhog 15 miles west of our house. Should be far enough so that he never returns. Then went hiking at Starved Rock Sate Park. Supposed to be a nice day. Got hit by a quick 4.9" rain. Luckily we were close to a cave like overhang behind a waterfall where we were sheltered from the storm. I don't think that DW enjoyed herself though.

Had two teeth removed due to abscess. The holes got the bone graft treatment.
It was quite cool down in Colorado Springs today. It got down into the high forties along with some rain on the way home this afternoon. Quite a pleasant day other than the pain as the deadener wore off. A couple of regular Tylonal once were home did the trick. I will get new teeth in a few months.

Put the final coat of wipe on poly varnish on my 1.5" thick 25"x 50" butcher block maple slab that will be my new home office desk top.

Good choice. Implants are expensive, but mine have been strong and functional, as well as very comfortable. Best teeth I ever had.

Had company since Saturday, DW's DB and SIL stayed a few days with us between Denver and Moab destinations. They took off this morning and I am beat.
We hadn't seen them for 6 years, I guess it was our first visit since I retired. They're finally thinking about retirement but he has a dental practice to sell first.
We did too much yesterday; hot springs in the morning, lunch at a local brewery, hike between lunch and a thunderstorm and out to dinner at a very nice restaurant.

I'm using up since cherries and apples to make a pie. Needed lemon juice for the filling. Went to pick a lemon from our tree and found this. It's bigger than the cantelope I cut up this morning. IMG_20190723_142909_438.jpeg

That's about the biggest lemon I've ever seen! I'm sure somewhere, someone had/has a bigger one, but not around here.

You should have seen the Fiat 128 I bought in 1974.

No bet. I may not have dropped the groundhog far enough away. There's a new dig hole under my deck in the exact same spot as that left by the groundhog that I thought would never return.

It probably beat you home. They do have thumbs and have been known to hitch hike.

^ True. Seeing that I’ve trapped several from the same spot (or the same one several times), nukes may be the only solution.

You will never know if it is the same groundhog or one of his 15 siblings.
Gotta notch its ear for a marking to be sure.
Are they smart enough to avoid being caught multiple times in the same trap? I will tell you that roof rats are a lot smarter than that.
