Rock stars.....

 6:59 am - Friday - July 10th - Beaumont, CA - 70° F, humidity 39%, cloud cover 27%, wind 12 mph out of the west.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 96° F.  On this date in 2017 TLE and I were in Bozeman, MT.....

....having brews and lunch.  We were working at the General Store in Mammoth Hot Springs  (Yellowstone NP) that summer.

Tim and his kids (Crosby and Bowie) were scheduled to fly back to Georgia Thursday at noon out of Ontario International, so TLE and I drove over to Kate's home around 7:30 am to have breakfast with everyone, and say our 'until next times'....

Bowie

Crosby

.....we hung out until Tim and the kids left for the airport, and then headed back to the hotel to rest up before our marathon travel day back to Likely on Friday....it will be another long travel day getting home.  Nice to have an extra day to rest before the travel day.

On a side note, you might have wondered where Tim got those names for his kids.  Well, Tim is a fan of 60's music, so named his kids after two famous rock stars from the 60's.  Crosby is named after David Crosby of 'Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young' fame, and Bowie is named after David Bowie.

We watched the FIFA World Cup match between France and Morocco won easily by France 2-0, who is favored to win the 2026 edition of the World Cup.  Around 5 pm we drove to the local In 'N Out Burger to meet Nick, Kate, Jolene and Levy for dinner.  We haven't had an In 'N Out Burger fix in a long time....

.....TLE and I always order their #2 Combo (cheeseburger, drink, and fries).  I neglected to take pictures of everyone else, but they were there.  Around 6 pm we bid adieu to Nick, Kate and the kids until next time, then headed back to the hotel.  While we were still at In 'N Out Burger Kate got a text from Tim advising they had arrived home safely.

I was able to watch the replay of Stage #6 of Le Tour de France, and what a stage it was!  Tadej Pogočar (Tădā Pogatcha), the winner the last four years, began the day 7 minutes and 53 seconds behind the leader, usually considered an insurmountable lead.  At the 36 mile mark (36 miles left in the Stage) he began an 'attack', and with a performance for the ages not only overcame that almost 8 minute lead, won the 6th Stage, but ended up back in the lead by over 2 minutes and 30 seconds!  A performance for the ages.  I have never seen anything like it in Le Tour de France....never.

We were headed off to 'slumberland' a little after 10 pm.  Our flight out of Ontario International departs at 3 pm, so we will be getting back to Likely around 11 pm Friday night....thanks for stopping by!
