Summer By The Fireplace

A change in weather last week. So far it is mid July and really no hot days. I am sure they will be here but so far a cool summer and even winter. As you can see on Thursday Natalia wanted the fireplace on and decided to make some smores for her.

Temperatures warmed up a bit as the weekend hit and we went to the park as usual and spent all of Friday smoking some pork shoulder that was to repeat again. Natalia is on track as well with the summer reading program at the library and got a prize. I know she doesn't read yet but I read to her every night and I find it entertaining as well. Another normal work week and drill weekend coming up and I am hoping my change of unit will not affect drilling where I have for years.

Still reading Seveneves and an entertaining read thus far. I must say Stephenson's writing has got me thinking and getting a little scared at the scenario he has painted. This is yet another long novel by Neil Stephenson and hope to get thorough it by months end.

Got some Heroclix super hero figures to have more fun with the Heroscape game and maybe next month start budgeting some more terrain. Heroscape is a very fun game that Natalia and me really enjoy. Also found a game about the Natchez Trace called Breaking The Devil's Backbone at the thrift store. The game doesn't see very good but I will play it with Natalia as it gives some historic references.

Sunday was another pleasant ride with the AARP folk out to Mt. Roubidoux. Nice temperatures and as always a nice outing with great company.

Among the few perks at work, I get to listen to stupid questions and if lucky idiotic behavior. Yesterday I was asked for waterproof soil for planting. Then not long after that I was asked by a person how seeds work? Hmmmm. Well, the seeds go in soil and you water it and they grow to whatever the seed is. However, I wouldn't use waterproof soil for that! LOL.

This week the new DC Comics movie, Suicide Squad got a trailer release and I must say it looks entertaining. But not a movie for children.
