It’s Monday. The heat is on! Here in Illinois it looks like we’re in for our first heat wave of the summer. We had 95 degrees and a whole bunch of humidity yesterday and it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere soon. I was outside washing the car for a couple hours yesterday and it was just too much. I don’t mind the heat, but damn, that humidity just sucks the life out of you.
We had a good time in Michigan over the weekend. The wedding wasn’t bad and the vegan menu at the reception wasn’t as bad as I originally feared. I had some Impossible beef tacos, yellow rice rice, spicy mushrooms, salad, and washed it all down with a bunch of open-bar margaritas! The biggest surprise was the Impossible beef—it was actually tasty.
I hope everyone had a good Father’s Day. In an effort to honor all the Dads out there, I decided to put together a special gallery of babes just for them. Enjoy!

Ya Gotta Laugh
It’s Tuesday. We’re into day 3 of our first heatwave of the summer and the evil-wicked humidity persists. If you’re working outside in the extreme heat, be sure to take breaks to hydrate. Unless you’re in Florida—then you’re screwed. In late April Desantis signed Florida House Bill 433, which prohibits local governments from requiring shade or water breaks for outdoor workers, or even giving preference to employers based on their heat exposure requirements. WTF?
Anyway, now that summer is here it’s time to get some things done around the outside of the house. In this video a Home Inspector takes a look at a new deck that was recently built, and… well, let’s just say that whoever did the work may be a less than stellar carpenter.

Just as a side note, whether you’re building a new home, an addition, or deck, be sure to have the work professionally inspected before you give them the last payment for the job.
