Stuff...

• The record breaking "consecutive days above 90" ends today! It was trounced with 23 consecutive days versus the prior of 18 days, eclipsing a record set over 100 years ago. Unfortunately, moisture, or lack of, is still on pace for the driest year ever. June 20th, yes 6 weeks ago, was the last measurable rainfall we had in our subdivision.
• Austin treated himself to his own 17th birthday gift by buying a new (to him) I-phone. Now that my friends is some slick technology. I mentioned 17 was a 'meaningless' birthday year but Austin indicated he is now able to see Rated R movies. So, Cameron, as a big brother example, wants to take him to see a Rated R movie (things parents don't want to hear).
  
• We had lunch with Cameron and his girlfriend yesterday. They (things parents don't want to hear) moved in together along with two of Cameron's high school friends. The foursome are renting a home in Broomfield and have signed a one year lease. Crystal ball is forecasting some interesting stories. Next Monday all four sets of parents are invited for a BBQ--pretty much "Meet the Fockers II"..
  
• Been a couple months since Teri and I enjoyed coffee at Five Bucks, so we hung out about an hour and chatted about our lovely marriage-- conversation went about 59 minutes too long--just kidding. We actually discussed our two kids and our involvement in their future, needed the coffee to keep us awake.
  
• I accomplished a 1st on my bike today--after 2,500 miles of traversing the last few years, I was curious as to whether I could hit 40 mph on what is essentially is a mountain bike. Evidence of one of two things: 1) I have a degree from Pan American or 2) faith in God. I lived to type about it. Also evidence that 215 lbs. pointed downhill does create some energy.
  
• As you can see by the photos, our Fall Ebay inventory yearns for cooler weather. We are well supplied as we have continued shopping all Summer for our most profitable items.

• Off to enjoy the gorgeous weather, current noon time temperature for our Texas friends: 74!
