The Shed 16

Nowhere near that hot on the prairie, but we might get carried away by tornadoes or pounded by hail later today.

Where are you that you're having those kinds of temps?

a reply to: PrairieShepherd

Northern California, in the Sierra Foothills. Average daytime high in the summer is ~95. We usually get around 15 100+ days each summer but looks like we are currently in the middle of a 10 day stretch above 100.

Still can't complain, in Phoenix they have something like 4 months of consecutive days above 100.

Hello Jess, Shep and BlueJay!

Testing the computer out to see if it's going to keep working properly. Hugs to everyone!

I've been to Phoenix near the end of July. 106 in the shade. In Minnesota, it gets so cold that your car battery dies. In Phoenix, it gets so hot the same thing happens. Bizarre.

109, that's real heat there. Stay hydrated!

Hellooo, Mayor Night Star your Elvenness. Did you have fun?

a reply to: PrairieShepherd

Yes I had a nice time. Thanks! Just keeping my fingers crossed on this computer. LOL

Heat sucks and I can't tolerate it when it is hot and humid. Kind of hot here today, but a breeze and tolerable.

Should we send Jess a lifeboat for her job? LOL

Jess, you'll catch up Honey. Hang in there!

a reply to: Night Star

She might be happier if we sent her an aircraft carrier, a battleship, and a couple destroyers.

a reply to: PrairieShepherd

Yup send them all. Armed and ready!

a reply to: Martin75

Right? Do I know I.T. or what?

Armed and ready Jess!

I have no clue what is going on, but you asked for armed and ready.
So I told some friends a friend of mine needed help.

They are on their way and will be there at your request.

Happy Solstice To All

Let us celebrate the longest day of the year. I wish you all well.
A fire was lit in many traditions to drive out evil and prolong the light.
In the southern hemisphere, where Kaelci and Timely reign it is the shortest day.
Cheers to all and to a grand turning point.



I have listened to this tune as a means of encouragement for two decades. The tide turns twice a day. Perhaps we should ride it.


I believe we do here in The Shed. We share joy and pain, laughter and tears, we are the tide perhaps?

Hello everyone. I'm really not much in the mood to talk as I'm tired and achy all over. I think the achy is due to the change of weather caused by tropical storm Cindy.

The results are in from my cardiologist today.

In 2001 I was sick with the onset of pneumonia and the feeling like I was having a heart attack. The hospital could not prove that I had a heart attack. Today my cardiologist said that I had a massive heart attack sometime in the past so the one in 2001 must have been it.

After testing due to my most recent heart attack this year I have found out that the aorta going into my heart is leaking. To be safe more testing needs to be done. Of course, now I wait for my insurance to ok this. This will involve wearing some sort of heart monitor vest for a couple of days and a heart catheter test. The results of this will determine if I am in the need of heart surgery.

It's things like this that make me wish that I had someone close to me to be there with me and understand what is going on. Now that I know I have a leaky aorta that is going to bug me by just knowing that there is a problem.

Happy Solstice Wis! Great tune!

a reply to: LookingForABetterLife

Oh Blue, I hope you don't worry yourself sick like I do. I know it's scary and stressful, but we'll be here for you Hun! I keep forgetting I have an enlarged heart and always have one test or another up ahead for one thing or another. Thank God we all have each other here. Hugs!

Im here i have returned

G'day WIS !

Radio Chaos is one of my favourite albums.
Such a shame he and the rest of Pink Floyd could no longer get along ... our loss.

I hope all the good shedfolk are well and happy !

Hello Sir Timely! Cold in your neck of the woods? How are things?

Will you sit by me a while and share the pages of your life unfolding? Will you be my joy and sorrow, my hope and inspiration? Could you let the rest of the world go for just a little while, take my hand and journey forth to worlds unknown? Will we run with the wolves and fly with the dragons? Will we sit in meadows sweet and listen to the songs of birds and watch as the fairies dance wild and free?
