Ohio Valley Weather Update

 Once again, it got to 100 yesterday here at The Compound. Instead of going out to get carry out fish for supper, we opted for Progresso soup and a sandwich here in our air conditioning.  The forecast is projecting 100 again today.  After breakfast this morning, I went out and did a 15 minute outdoor chore before it got to 187 degrees.

It reached 100 yesterday, and it's supposed to get to 100 again today.  I sure hope that they cancel tonight's high school football games.

 It was 100 degrees here the past two days, and the same is forecasted for today and tomorrow.  I'm thankful for our a/c.  I had a small yard job to do, and I plan to get out in the morning before breakfast and knock it out. 

Fair Wrap Up

 The state fair ended yesterday, and for the first time I can remember, it didn't rain on any days of the fair.  And until yesterday, the temperatures were in the low to mid 80s.  I'm sure the good weather will have increased attendance.

2, Yard stick

3. Water bottles from the Louisville Water Company

4. Rubber jar openers

5. Microwave popcorn

6. Knife from sitting through a 20 minute cooking demonstration

7. Bags

My Favorite Fair Foods

Another Fair Weather Day

 As I type this, it's a very pleasant 70 degrees and sunny, with a projected high of 82.  It is going to be another great day for the fair goers.
