It’s Monday. The weekend started out with extreme heat & humidity, got stormy, and then the humidity eased up. However, the heat continued and it was pretty steamy. In other words, very typical Illinois summer weather.

I went to a cookout on Saturday night just before the storm rolled in. It was kept simple with only hot dogs, Italian sausage, chips, and beer. No complaints here. Everything was tasty and the storm moved out quickly, so that was good timing.

With the Olympics being covered by NBC over the next two weeks, that means Nascar is on hold until the games wrap up. I like watching the Olympics, but damn, no racing for two weeks?

Sunday was awesome. Spent most of it outdoors just taking it easy and reading. I love summer.
