7:45 am - Sunday - July 23rd - LPG&RVR - 67° F, 38% humidity, wind 0 mph out of the south by southeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 95° F. On this date in 2013 TLE and I were visiting Glacier National Park for the first time....we still had the 2002 T-Bird then, and took her top off for the occasion....off the T-Bird, that is......↴
Topless
Lake MacDonald
We stayed in the Visitors' Center parking lot that night
Another 'weekend' day, and another out and back walk to Jess Valley Road.....
3.3 mph
.....we were out and back before 7 am to beat the heat to find we had a visitor attached to the cover for our outdoor TV.....
.....we were going to sit outside while we watched The Open, but a few mosquito bites later we changed our minds....lol. The forecast high for the day was 98° F, but it just reached 97° F before retreating once again.
We spent most of the day indoors watching first The Open, then a couple of FIFA Women's World Cup matches, then the 20th, and next to last Stage of this year's Le Tour, which had an exciting finish. Now, all that is left is Stage 21, and the ride into Paris for the 110th time. This is the 120th year since the first Le Tour, but the tour was interrupted for a total of 10 years over the course World Wars I and II. Hard to believe that 3 weeks have elapsed since Le Tour began.....time continues to slip away this summer!
I did participate in this week's edition of 'The Putting Contest', and won my first match easily....3 up after 4 holes. Once again my second match went to overtime when I was tied with my worthy opponent after 5 holes. I putted first on the playoff hole, and made a good put, but my opponent put his putt 3" inside my putt to win closest to the hole.....bummer....again!
Usually we get strong breezes, or even out right wind late afternoon every day, but did not on this day, which made the outside air feel stifling as the heat of the day slowly left the air. We watched another episode of 'Touch of Frost' on BritBox, and were in bed shortly after 10 pm with all the Newell windows open, and our 'attic' fan running on low to draw in the, by now, sweet, cool evening air.
Thanks for stopping by!
