Still June in Wisconsin but a little snack because the doors are open. Flo, do you ever get time off? A piece of pecan Kringle please.

I have a dentist appointment at 8:00 so the Kringle will definitely tick off the hygienist. I’ll do the water pick before bed and at wake-up. Hand brush tonight and I will use the electric tooth brush in the morning. I’ll miss something though and be preached to…
 
Must of had a brain cramp. For some odd reason I thought there were 31 days in June and thought we jumped the gun.

Had to remember the "30 days has September" jingle they taught us in grade school. That was digging deep in the memory vault.

Summer is going to scream by!

Even in Eastern time right now it's only 11pm on June 30. I think someone didn't't want to forget and to go to bed early :)
 
I keep forgetting about this being monthly. Was trying to reply on the old thread and saw that the button was gone.

So, won't di-electric grease cause a short? I used it once on my spark plug boots and then my car started misfiring badly. I had just bought some expensive plug wires too. The toyota dealer told me that the plug wires were bad and showed me that they were cross firing all over the place. I hope I was using di-electric grease... :p

I miss blowing up more than $1000 on fireworks at the end of our annual 4th of July parties. The look on my grandsons' faces was worth it. Not to mention the look on my daughters' faces when I handed the boys their lighters.

Safety first! It could have been worse. When I was young, I lit them with a cigarette.

No, it's for the benefit of those forum members in Japan and Europe. It's already July there. Unless they have 31 days in June!!!

I’m not convinced.

Though as of now it is 1:17am eastern so we’re getting there. It still June here.

I just got back from my walk about 10 min ago. It’s about 78F and it’s almost 11:20pm. It’s been dark a few hours. Normally I walk in the morning but went back to sleep this morning as I was super tired. Had been awake a few hours off and on already. So the extra 90min felt good but postponed my walk. I’m taking a quick shower and go to bed and get another walk in the morning.

Don't rule it out, I was once given a free calendar from a well known reputable bus operator here in the UK which for some reason had a large sticker for June to overlay the original page. On inspection it revealed that June had been printed with 31 days...

first i was not really happy with, to big the cracks. then i added a second layer and did smooth it out a bit. after adding some weathering powder it was way better, but still a learning progress. next time it will be even better ;)

oh and hell yeah already JULY!

That looks awesome! I need to write this stuff down. This along with modeling clay. I just started my Kato mini diorama so have to buy a lot of fluffy stuff.

1st of the month is always a good thing. That's when I get paid. :)
