Not that Friday is a big deal to most of us. Many of you are retired and I work all weekend so just another day...

Nothing much new here, just hot already this morning and no breeze. Need to run one errand before heading to work this afternoon.

Have a good day! :D

I didn't have any plans for today but the tractor guy called me and said the part for the tractor is in so I have to go pick it up. So, guess I have to do something with my hair so I don't scare people. lol

It's raining again today and 80% chance of rain tomorrow. My grass is going to be out of control before it drys enough to mow.

Only thing new here is that we are supposed to get breezy here this afternoon. Hopefully it will blow some smoke out of here and not start any new fires.

Just some housecleaning chores this morning then just going to relax and read my book this afternoon. Another hibernation day for sure. Altho I did get out yesterday to have lunch with my friend Malia. We had a good visit for sure. She is feeling housebound too.

Temps are down to the upper 90s today, and even cooler tomorrow, which is a lot better than yesterday when they were 103-107. I managed to stay outside yesterday long enough to plug in and quickly hook up water, then dove inside to enjoy the air conditioning trying to get the place cool.

Anyway, LePage Park, along the Columbia River, is a nice place. All paved camping spots along the John Day River, which empties into the Columbia here, water and electric, good satellite access, but very weak Verizon service, so internet through my hotspot is weak also. Interstate 84 is about a quarter mile away, so it is fairly quiet here also--a few boats on the river, however, so they can e noisy. COE park, so only $12.50 per night for us seniors. Going to be here 10 days. Anyway, got a ton of work to do this weekend, so got to get busy.

I have one of the pull-through sites along the river, so terrific view of John Day River. I can also see the I-84 bridge and the wind farm on other side of the Columbia. Used my binoculars to watch some bighorn sheep on the other side of the John Day River last night.

Judy, sounds like a great spot you have there. Enjoy!

Supposed to start cooling off here too. Highs down to the low 80's and upper 70's starting on Sunday! Whew!
