We drove to Knoxville yesterday to hit Costco. Truck thermometer said it was 100 the last 15 miles of I40 as we approached Knoxville. Back home on the Plateau it was “only” 90 and almost felt cool. Weatherman says it ends tomorrow and we are looking forward to fall. The water level in our lake has dropped almost 2 feet in the last month. Glad it is 22 feet deep as the fish have somewhere to escape to.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
