Dang, that sux.
Mine’s been draggy the past few days and that’s usually a harbinger of it going out for a while. Just enjoying it while it’s working.

Hiya radu, hope all is well your way.
We did have a good time at the range last Wednesday, the boy outshot me but who's keeping track?
Our weather is still nice 80ish temps but cooling off at nights.
Hope all is well your way!

Howdy, Kathy.
You know I’m hoping things didn’t go bonkers with work today. It would be so nice if you could have a relatively smooth week for a change.

Glad nothing happened to make y’all have to postpone your plans. That’s happened before. Nice to get out for some fresh air and fun once in a while and it sounds like y’all had a great time.
IF the weatherfolks are right, today was our last hot day for a while. It was a steamy weekend and a bit warm today, but low 80s lie ahead - - - and hopefully some rain.

IDF ops in Beirut bring closure for some; Hezbollah terrorists who killed Americans now dead
Criticism aimed at White House for slow reaction to death of terror chief
JERUSALEM — Israel secured long-overdue justice for the family members of American military and diplomatic personnel murdered by Hezbollah, including the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut.
The initial lack of alleged enthusiasm from the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers for the targeted killings of senior Hezbollah mass murderers sparked criticism among top counter-terrorism experts.
Take the example of Israel’s elimination on Friday of Ibrahim Aqil, who was wanted by the United States for both the bombing of the U.S. embassy, which killed 63 people, and the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut in 1983, when 241 U.S. military personnel were killed by the Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah. ...
... Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., also stressed the significance of Israel’s assassination of Aqil writing on X, “Ibrahim Aqil was a vicious terrorist mastermind who helped murder hundreds of Americans. On behalf of the families of the Marines killed in the Beirut bombings—and on behalf of all Americans—I’m grateful justice has finally been served to this killer.” ...
